Maddie's Lost Days (S5 EP 12 "Boston")

About this episode

The episode discusses Maddie's serious journey on the east coast, focusing on themes of mental health and addiction.

Today it's a more serious and pensive episode of the Respodcast than usual, as we discuss Maddie's tragic and triumphant journey on the east coast. Content warning: This episode of 9-1-1 is a little heavier than usual, and depicts a suicide attempt, as well as much discussion of mental illness, addiction, and treatment for the above. Take care!
