Mental Health with Dr. Melissa Mork: Recent Episodes
Dr. Melissa Mork - Northwestern Media
”Mental Health with Dr. Melissa Mork” is a podcast that tells stories of mental illness, resilience, and faith. In each episode, I interview a guest and ask five questions: “What were your symptoms?” “How did you cope?” “What was the diagnosis?” “What treatments helped or didn’t help?” and “How did this experience impact your faith?”
The goal of this podcast is to reduce the stigma of mental illness (especially within the church) by having conversations that normalize the experience. My hope is that, as listeners hear these stories, they become more aware of various mental disorders and how a person might experience a mental illness. I want listeners to recognize symptoms in themselves or others, and I want them to have the resources they may need to access help.

“I knew something was wrong at age 7. I did not actively seek help until after college. So it took about 15 years, from onset to even getting a diagnosis, and another five years to get appropriate treatment.”
Today’s guest is Jackie and she has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. In this episode, Jackie will talk about her symptoms, her diagnosis, the complexity of her illness, and the treatment that eventually worked for her.
