Listen to this episode for Jahan Kalantar's insight on the intricacies of the legal landscape when it comes to mental health. In this episode of the High Functioning Hotspot, we have with us Jahan Kalantar. He shares with us the beginnings of his legal practice and how he began considering himself as the "little guy lawyer." We also walk through the different scenarios where legal action and mental health are deeply intertwined and how, as a legal representative, you have to deal with a lot of more than just your own viewpoint.
