On this episode of The Body Peace Podcast, Jennie Kramer and Nina Manolson talk with Rachel Egan, RN, PMHNP-BC and founder of Harborside Psychiatrics, about what it means to truly understand your individual mental health needs.

Together, they explore why so many people living with anxiety and depression feel like “nothing has ever worked,” and how tools like genetic testing can help with root-cause identification and offer clearer insight into which treatments may genuinely support their well-being. Rachel discusses the toll of trial-and-error approaches, the impact these experiences can have on a person’s trust in their own body, and why a comprehensive, whole-person model of care is essential for meaningful progress.

If you—or someone you care about—has felt discouraged or overlooked in the mental health system, this conversation offers perspective, grounding, and a reminder that your needs are real, valid, and worth fully understanding.
