Chime in with Amanda Watson Johnson


Dec 13, 2020

Amanda speaks with Dr. Perry Mandanis on the importance of nurturing our mental health and how to choose resilience in these challenging times. “Dr. M” explains the difference between stress and anxiety, the importance of Psychiatrists prescribing meds, versus your primary care Doctor, how he saved a man’s life that was jumping from a bridge, amongst various other thought-provoking topics.

Dr. Perry Mandanis is an Adult, Child and Family Psychiatrist and host of his fast-growing podcast, Couch Stories. Just as he was beginning his medical career in Psychiatry, he fell down a flight of stairs, injured his spinal cord, and began a 25-year career passionately helping others-in his wheelchair. Educated in Pediatrics at the Medical University of South Carolina, and in Psychiatry at Brown University, the health of the whole family is at the very heart of his work.
