"Vintage Offbeat" continues with our very first episode, from June 13, 2022. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: We all know office parties can be a drag, but for some, they can be more than uncomfortable. Recently, a court awarded a man who suffers from an anxiety disorder $450,000 for being subjected to an unwanted office party. Why do some people dismiss mental health issues such as anxiety, and why are some boundaries not respected? To find out, host Mike Rogers spoke with Dr. Kevin Chapman, founder and director of the Kentucky Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders.

The company employs around 170 scientists and plans are moving forward… faster than you might think.
