<p>In this episode of <strong>Hey Man; It’s Ok</strong>, Ryan and I sit down with <strong>Dr. Eric Arzubi</strong>, CEO and co-founder of <strong>Frontier Psychiatry</strong>, for a conversation that goes far beyond credentials and titles.</p><p>Before he was leading a telehealth psychiatric practice serving rural communities across <strong>Montana, Alaska, Wyoming, and Idaho</strong>, Eric lived an entirely different life — as a <strong>Wall Street bond trader</strong>. What followed was a radical pivot, shaped by his own lived experience with anxiety, burnout, and the realization that success on paper doesn’t guarantee peace of mind.</p><p>Eric opens up about what it’s really like to struggle with anxiety <em>as a doctor</em>, why the fear of anxiety itself can be the hardest part, and how learning to recognize early warning signs changed everything. We talk honestly about medication, therapy, self-care, and why waiting to “feel motivated” is often the wrong move.</p><p>We also dig into the bigger picture: Why access to mental health care is still broken, especially in rural America. Why telehealth isn’t a downgrade — it’s often the only option. And why this isn’t just a mental health crisis, but a systemic failure we’ve learned to live with.</p><p>This episode is about <strong>reaching out when it feels impossible</strong>, about connection across distance, and about reminding men that asking for help doesn’t make you weak — it makes you human.</p><p>If anxiety has ever made you feel alone, this conversation is for you.</p><p><strong>⏱️ Episode Chapters:</strong> </p><p>00:00 Introduction &amp; Guest Welcome </p><p>00:53 Eric’s Background &amp; Frontier Psychiatry</p><p> 02:10 Telehealth Before and After COVID </p><p>03:59 From Wall Street to Psychiatry </p><p>06:27 Personal Anxiety &amp; Hitting a Wall</p><p>10:28 Choosing Psychiatry &amp; Helping Others </p><p>14:57 Managing Anxiety &amp; Self-Care Tools </p><p>19:37 Understanding Patients Through Lived Experience </p><p>20:49 Sharing Mental Health Skills on LinkedIn </p><p>22:46 Mental Health &amp; Social Media </p><p>25:58 Men’s Mental Health &amp; Cultural Pressure </p><p>32:08 Parenting, Perspective, and What Really Matters </p><p>36:55 Final Thoughts &amp; Call to Action</p><p>25:58 Men's Mental Health Issues</p><p>32:08 Personal Reflections and Parenting</p><p>36:55 Concluding Thoughts and Call to Action</p>
