In this week's remastered episode, Eboné sits down with her guest as she recounts her first experience in a psych ward at just eight years old. Their conversation explores America’s complicated relationship with mental illness and whether the media helps or harms public perception of psychiatric facilities. She also sheds light on the harsh realities inside—discussing conditions, isolation rooms, and the experiences of those who have been wrongfully committed.
