A Unique Perspective on Mental Illness, Wednesday, March 25, 7:30 – 9:00 pm, zoom
Every journey through a mental health diagnosis is uniquely personal, yet many shared themes emerge – and above all, Hope. Join us to hear from George Lausten, a young man whose story offers a powerful and unique perspective.
George is a medical student at Baptist Health Sciences in Memphis, Tennessee. He grew up in a small town in Minnesota before moving to California for college, where he was diagnosed with Bipolar I during his freshman year.
In the years that followed, he experienced multiple psychiatric hospitalizations. With ongoing treatment and support from loved ones, he has been free of a manic episode for over five years. In addition, he graduated from Stanford with an honors degree in psychology and is pursuing a career in psychiatry to help those without access to medical or social support systems.
