Why Seattle's mental health problems are so visible
Many people suffering from a severe mental illness experience an endless loop. Many cycle through streets, jail, clinics, courts, and a shrinking number of hospital beds.
"Lost Patients," a brand new podcast from KUOW and the Seattle Times, examines how we got here through the past of Seattle's past, present, and future.
Host Will James talks about the show and what we can learn from the past about Seattle's challenges treating people with mental illnesses.
We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. You have the power! Make the show happen by making a gift to KUOW.
