In this episode, we explore nine groundbreaking stories in mental health and psychiatric medicine, covering everything from healthcare fraud to the latest advancements in drug trials. First, we dive into the recent charges brought by the US Department of Justice against executives at Done, a California-based telehealth company, for alleged healthcare fraud.
