What do you do when you’ve got to record a podcast episode but your guest cancels last minute due to COVID? You interview Chat GPT, of course! Or… maybe it’s Chat GPT interviewing Recovery Diaries in Depth’s host Gabriel Nathan. Either way, you get a fascinating episode where Gabe fields AI-generated questions about mental health storytelling, advocacy, and suicide prevention. The questions may have come from a bot, but the answers are decidedly human, in-depth, relevant, and may just spark a lifesaving conversation between you and a loved one.

What are some common misperceptions people have about suicide?

What are some early suicide warning signs?

What are some of the biggest threats you see to Americans’ mental health in the near future?

How do mental health stories help people?

These are just some of the questions Gabe tackles during this episode. Gabe brings his wealth of experience as a front-line staff member at a locked, inpatient psychiatric hospital, as tireless suicide awareness/prevention advocate, as a writer, editor, creator, and leader of Recovery Diaries, as well as his own lived experience with mental health challenges to create a dynamic, thoroughly human episode. Sure, his voice may get tired as he fields question after question, but you won’t get tired as you listen along, enjoy, think, and feel.
