Alex is a free spirited and ever-curious individual with diverse interests and experiences that have shaped him into the multifaceted person he is today. Spending his formative years in Singapore, Alex later pursued his studies in the UK at 16. His extra-curricular activities—rugby, hip-hop dance, and musicals—encapsulate this period of his life.At 18, Alex returned to Singapore to serve as a Paratrooper in the Armed Forces, trusting his life to nothing but some plastic and string. He continued broadening his horizons by attending college in Santa Barbara, where sandy beaches and a snowboard team felt like a perfect fit. Graduating with a BSc in Actuarial Science, Alex dove into investment banking, only to face a quarter-life crisis when he realized (DUH) it wasn't the right path for him. With the pandemic as a catalyst, he resigned.Embracing change, Alex embarked on a journey of self-discovery, traveling and placing his trust in another kind of plastic bag and string—paragliding. Tapping into his musical and active side, he also rekindled his love for music through DJing.During this transformative period, Alex met a mentor who recognized his coaching potential. This encounter ignited a new purpose within him, and he now dedicates his time to helping others lead more aligned, balanced, and fulfilling lives. #GlobalGibberish | #Season4 | #Adaptation

During his time in the military, Robert deployed on exchange with the British Army on Operation Herrick XII (12) to Helmand Province, Afghanistan in 2010. In his civilian life, Robert has worked for a number of technology companies, including Microsoft, before joining a start-up where he is an Executive Director. Robert joins me today to discuss his life in the Army, how his deployment to Helmand resulted in a PTSD diagnosis, as well as his journey to recovery, which includes being part of the ketamine program that I discussed at length with Dr Alex Lim a few episodes ago. Things we covered include: Rob's entry into the Army and the Artillery Corps Rotation into Helmand with the British Army The thrill of preparing for and going to war Use of artillery as a direct-fire weapon The reality of Helmand as the ‘kinetic province' How the local population perceived the Coalition Forces Dealing with numerous casualties Reflecting on mateship, camaraderie, and sense of purpose The process of desensitisation to war and combat Reflection on the burden of command The challenge of preserving one's own moral compass The struggle of upholding the delicate facade of morality in battle The price of extreme compartmentalisation and rationalisation Returning home, signs that things weren't right and asking for help Symptoms, PTSD diagnosis, and importance of command support Short-term fixes but eventual relapse, downward spiral, and continual emotional compartmentalisation The path to recovery and reconnecting to emotions Joining Dr Alex Lim's ketamine program, onboarding, and treatment initiation A reflection on the ketamine treatment, its sensations, experiences, and insights Why ketamine remains contentious How the ketamine treatment affected Rob's relationships with his wife and children Why seeking help matters! During this discussion, we referred to the following previous episodes: Ashley Judd – On combat, mental health and the road to recovery Dr Alex Lim - On veterans' mental health: the good, the bad and the promising Given the nature of this discussion, and the fact that many in our audience are veterans, there is a risk that elements of this episode might be difficult listening for some.

He is a Psychiatrist in private practice, and now almost exclusively looks after members of the Australian Defence Force, the Australian Federal Police, and the veteran community more broadly. In 2019, Dr Lim set up Australia's first integrated ketamine program for veterans, known as the ReVive Ketamine Program. Starting in February 2023, this program will become the subject of an ethics-approved clinical study into the long-term effectiveness and safety of ketamine for treatment-resistant depression and treatment-resistant PTSD. Dr Lim joined me today to discuss some of the mental health challenges faced by our veteran community and to shed light on some emerging treatments that could aid them on their path to wellness. Some of the topics we covered are: Dr Lim's entry into psychiatry and veteran mental health The current state of veteran mental health support Difference between civilian and military/emergency services stressors Understanding the impact of stress, trauma, and PTSD Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a multi-system dysfunction Total and Permanent Impairment and associated challenges Moral injury and what causes it How stress affects our physiology, decision-making ability, and ethical frameworks The need to indoctrinate appropriate ethical frameworks as early as possible Importance of developing trust between the patient and their clinician Treating suicidality Drop-out rates in traditional psychotherapy treatment Why medications are not the ‘silver bullet' for mental health concerns Synaptic Disconnection Syndrome and the effect of PTSD on the structure of the brain The issue of treatment-resistant illness and the promise of ketamine Preliminary findings and prospects of ketamine for treatment-resistant illness How to access the ketamine program for those with treatment-resistant illness As mentioned in the introduction, you can find Australian Defence Force personnel suicide statistics here.
