Dr. David Nathan in the Media
Over the last few years, I have had the honor and privilege of contributing to stories and podcasts on various mental health topics. Here are links to some of my appearances. I am incredibly appreciative of the coverage WCCO 4 TV, WCCO Radio, KSTP 5, KARE 11, FOX 9, MinnPost, and Hometown Source have given to mental health in our community. Stories like these increase awareness and reduce stigma. I would especially like to thank Erin Hassanzadeh and Jeff Wagner for their extensive reporting and incredibly thoughtful pieces on this topic.
