About this episode

Comedian, writer, and singer Rachel Bloom joins Jameela this week to discuss struggling with intrusive thoughts from an early age, learning about ADHD as an adult, going from a fear of "crazy" to embracing the term with her tv series "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend," processing grief during the pandemic, seeing mental health as bespoke rather than textbook, and more.
