Podcasts about mental health education

Mental illness touches nearly every family, yet it remains one of the least understood and least supported health challenges we face. In this episode, I sit down with Marvin Ross, a medical writer, publisher, and mental health advocate whose work was shaped by his son's diagnosis of schizophrenia nearly 30 years ago. Marvin shares why mental illness remains one of the most misunderstood and underfunded health challenges in North America, how stigma and lack of treatment contribute to homelessness, and what countries across Europe are doing differently. We also explore mental health literacy, addiction recovery, public policy, the role of families in treatment, and why education remains one of the strongest tools for change. Along the way, Marvin reflects on his publishing journey, the books that have made an impact, and why understanding mental illness is essential if we want to build a more compassionate and effective Highlights: 01:41 - Learn how Marvin's son's schizophrenia diagnosis changed his life's work. 09:16 - Discover why mental illness is often treated differently than other illnesses. 17:31 - Understand the link between mental illness, homelessness, and lack of care. 19:52 - Learn what Europe is doing differently to support mental health. 25:33 - Hear why mental health literacy needs to improve. 41:12 - Explore the connection between homelessness, addiction, and untreated mental illness. About the Guest: I am a medical writer/publisher/ mental illness advocate with a background in research and planning. I began part time in the late 1970's and published a number of books (technical , humour and medical for lay audiences). Thanks to circumstances, I was able to focus full time on freelance medical writing for a wide array of clients. In the late 1990's, my son developed schizophrenia and I found myself writing about that stigmatizing malady and advocating for improved services. I became active in the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario and am now on the board of the Family Alliance on Severe Mental Illnesses. In 2008, my company Bridgeross Communications, began publishing books mainly on serious mental illnesses beginning with my own book Schizophrenia Medicine's Mystery Society's Shame. It received vary positive endorsements from readers and can found in over 300 libraries worldwide. As a result, people began contacting me with their own book ideas and I ended up adding another 10 titles by people with schizophrenia or family members recounting their experiences. The first two were by a mother of a daughter with schizophrenia in Vancouver which came out in 2010 and is still selling with positive recommendations in Canada, the US and Europe. The other was by a woman with schizophrenia also in Vancouver who, today, is a fine artist, and a recipient of the Courage to Come Back Award and a Face of Mental Illness in Canada. Topics covered in the other books mostly still selling deal with a neuroscientist with schizophrenia, a woman married to a man who developed schizophrenia, an African-American woman with schizophrenia written with her daughter on how they coped, a large Irish-American family with a brother with schizophrenia who also developed terminal cancer and a PhD psychologist in Tennessee who partly got through college while living in her car. I also wrote a regular column for Huffington Post and then for the past 14 years, my own blog which I write with a psychiatrist.

Carol Montreuil has observed a lot of places across the country have diesel prices above $2.00 a litre with some in the range of $2.25 to $2.50 a litre.

Mental health is often treated like a guessing game, but what if we could actually see what's happening in the brain?In this episode, Dr. Steve Rondeau, founder of Axon EEG Solutions and author of Think Like a Brain, breaks down how brain-based data is changing the way we understand mental health, postpartum struggles, and behavior in both women and children.We dive into why traditional diagnoses often miss the root cause, how brain patterns shape your personality and responses, and why your environment plays a bigger role than you think. This conversation also explores a newly released study on hormonal birth control and antidepressant response, the concept of the “overwhelmed brain,” and how small shifts in your daily life can dramatically change your mental resilience.If you've ever felt like something is off but can't explain why, or wondered why one season of life feels manageable while another feels overwhelming, this episode will completely reframe how you think about your brain, your behavior, and your capacity.00:00 Intro 01:52 Why mental health is still a guessing game 03:40 The misdiagnosis that exposes a broken system 06:10 Can brain scans predict personality 09:30 Why people experience life differently 13:15 Birth control and antidepressant study 16:47 Why one-size-fits-all treatment fails 18:40 Why postpartum experiences vary 22:40 Your brain isn't broken your environment is 24:21 When symptoms don't match the diagnosis 26:40 The case that changed everything 29:10 Why root causes get missed 32:10 Are brain patterns genetic or learned 34:40 The 3 areas that shape mental health 37:40 Why you can't just push through 39:10 The overwhelmed brain pattern 42:10 The habit that regulates your nervous system 43:46 Why coping mechanisms make sense 46:40 Why normal brains don't exist 49:10 Parenting and relationships through this lens 53:10 What's normal behavior for kids 55:10 The parenting mistake most people make 58:10 Are screens rewiring our brains 61:10 How to find brain scan providers 73:31 Outro Resources From This Episode:Dr. Rondeau's Website - https://axoneegsolutions.com/Dr. Rondeau's Book: Think Like Brain Treating Manual - https://www.amazon.com/Think-Like-Brain-Treating-Manual-ebook/dp/B0GFXQK1DVFollow Dr. Steve Rondeau on Socials:Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/people/Dr-Steve-Rondeau/100068808602146/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steven-rondeau-148aa421/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr_rondeau_qeeg/Dr. Morgan's Pregnancy Call Lessons - https://milkmedicine.com/lessonsonly/Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HAAM and save 10% at FondUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

Profit Over Patients: Are Private Equity Firms Ruining Healthcare? America's healthcare system is increasingly being shaped by private equity investors who are focused on driving profit over health. From fraudulent billing practices to staff cuts, their short-term financial tactics have fueled bankruptcies and worsened care quality across the country. Our experts explain the strategies of these firms that are harming consumers, as well as the policies working to reinstitute patients' health as the top priority.

“Are the kids okay?” Mental health in children and teens has been at the forefront of topics for concern, especially since the pandemic. Ross Szabo discusses the importance of mental health education in schools, and how we can normalize talking about it in our everyday conversations.          This podcast is made possible by generous funding from Academy Spouses' Club https://www.usafaasc.org/ and Randolph Spouses' Club https://randolphspousesclub.membershiptoolkit.com/home.   Audio mixing by Concentus Media, Inc., Temple, Texas.   Show Notes:   Resources:   https://humanpowerproject.com/   Bio: Ross Szabo Talking about emotions can be a challenge, but Ross's brutally honest, relatable and humorous approach puts audiences at ease as they confront a difficult topic. When Ross was a freshman in college, everything on the surface seemed to be fine. He was making friends, getting good grades and had a fun social life. However, no one could have imagined how many emotions he was suppressing. Ross was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 16, was hospitalized for attempting to take his own life during his senior year of high school, and like so many other freshman, just wanted to fit in. He tried to hide what he was feeling to convince everyone that everything was ok, but that can only last for so long. Ross's story resonates with the millions of college students who are putting on a happy face to hide their true emotions. Ross uses tasteful humor and insights to help participants understand common mental health conditions and individual differences. He also covers warning signs that students can look for in their friends and peers, as well as resources that can provide guidance in these sensitive situations. Ross is NOW the CEO of the Human Power Project. He is an award-winning mental health speaker, writer, trainer and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. Ross has spoken to more than 1 million students about the importance of mental health and provided a positive example to empower them to seek help. He received the 2010 Didi Hirsch Removing the Stigma Leadership Award, 2012 Changing Minds Award and had his advocacy work entered into the Congressional Record. He is the co-author of Behind Happy Faces; Taking Charge of Your Mental Health and a blogger for The Huffington Post.

Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Dr. Christopher Willard, a clinical psychologist and author, about the complexities of life's major transitions. At this time of year, this is an especially-important conversation, as some students prepare for the shift to college life. They share their own experiences and provide advice on navigating the pressures of newfound independence, the importance of self-care, and the role of systemic support in easing major transitions. Yes, they also talk about farts, so this episode has something for everyone. TAKEAWAYS It's important to understand the mental health challenges that often arise during major life transitions. There's a role for social media in destigmatizing mental health issues, but it also spreads misinformation. Systemic support is essential in educational institutions, in order to better assist students, especially those from marginalized communities. It's important not to over-pathologize normal emotional experiences. There was a creative process behind Dr. Willard's children's book, "Feelings Are Like Farts," which uses humor to engage kids in understanding emotions. Let the courses in the Neurodiversity University help you be a better educator, parent, and/or clinician. Dr. Christopher Willard is a clinical psychologist, author, and consultant based in Massachusetts, with a global presence as a speaker in over 40 countries and two TEDx events. He is the author of 20 books on mental health and mindfulness, including Alphabreaths, Growing Up Mindful, Feelings Are Like Farts, and the upcoming College Mental Health 101 (2025). Dr. Willard's work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN.com, and mindful.org. In addition to his clinical and writing work, he teaches at Harvard Medical School, where he continues to shape conversations around mindfulness, emotional well-being, and mental health in education and beyond.

When traditional treatments for depression fail, where do we turn? It's easy to feel hopeless when depression impacts your life, or the life of someone you love. Fear not. This is the episode for you.In this episode of Sick Health with Kevin Ban, MD, we dive deep into one of the most promising frontiers in mental health treatment. Joined by Dr. Ben Yudkoff, Chief Medical Officer at Lumen Health and Medical Director of Interventional Psychiatry at Brigham and Women's Faulkner Hospital, we explore the fascinating world of ketamine therapy.Known primarily as an anesthetic, ketamine is emerging as a groundbreaking treatment for depression - but how does it work, are there risks, who is it really for, and what exactly is the difference between it and esketamine? From the molecular level to real patient experiences, we unpack the science and stories behind this transformative therapy.Starting with the basics, Dr. Yudkoff guides us through the remarkable journey of how ketamine went from the operating room to mental health breakthrough. We explore the intricate brain chemistry that makes this treatment unique, and how it helps create new neural pathways for those stuck in persistent negative thought patterns.We then tackle the practical aspects - from treatment protocols to insurance coverage, and the critical importance of proper clinical settings. Finally, we address the elephant in the room: the fears and misconceptions about "bad trips" and what really happens during treatment.There's no need to be misinformed anymore. After this episode, you'll understand:Three NON-CHEMICAL treatments for depression you can considerHow ketamine offers new hope for treatment-resistant depressionThe fascinating way ketamine helps rewire negative thought patternsWhy controlled clinical settings are crucial for safe and effective treatmentNavigate insurance coverage and access to ketamine therapyUnderstanding what to expect from treatment and maintenance plansOur conversation isn't just about medication - it's about hope, science, and the future of mental health treatment. Whether you're struggling with depression, know someone who is, or are simply curious about breakthrough treatments in psychiatry, this episode offers valuable perspective on one of today's most promising therapeutic options.As Dr. Yudkoff shares, "As a provider who has lookedFollow us on YouTube and leave your comments at: https://www.youtube.com/@SickHealthwithKevinBanMD Connect with Kevin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558197731269 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickhealthigsh=MXQ5Y3Q1ZjE0bnZmdQ%3D%3D Threads: https://www.threads.net/@sickhealth Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sick-health-with-kevin-ban-md/ Tik Tok: https://shorturl.at/oORXY Contact email: team@sickhealthshow.com Executive Producer: Kevin Ban, MD Production Director, Editor and Producer: Bat-Sheva Guez Graphic designer: Leah VanWhy YouTube SEO: Lighthouse-Digitalmarketing.com Social media: Rebekah Pajak Intern: Nicole Berritto This show's content represents the personal opinions of Kevin Ban, MD.

Mental health is a multidimensional aspect of our well-being, encompassing emotional, psychological, and social facets. Hence, it prompts us to view individuals not through the narrow lens of diagnoses but as complex beings with diverse emotional, psychological, and social needs.    However, many people fail to separate the person who struggles with their mental health from the labels imposed by diagnoses. As our guest speaker aptly points out, changing the narrative from "that person is a drug addict" to "that person struggles with addiction" is a pivotal shift in language that reflects a more compassionate and accurate understanding. By acknowledging the struggle rather than defining the person by it, we break down the misconceptions surrounding mental health. Together, let's contribute to breaking down barriers, nurturing connections, and ultimately, creating a world where mental health is viewed with empathy, openness, and a commitment to holistic well-being.   In this episode, we want to help listeners gain a deeper understanding of the critical components involved in fostering mental health and well-being, both at an individual and community level. We aim to unravel the intricacies of mental health services, the impact of personal stories, and the significance of breaking down stigmas surrounding mental health conditions. Through the exploration of real-life examples and practical advice, we aspire to empower our audience with the tools needed to identify signs of struggle in youth, create a supportive environment, and contribute to the unlearning of prevalent misconceptions about mental health. Join us on this enlightening journey as we navigate the complexities of mental health, challenge stereotypes, and provide valuable insights that can foster a more compassionate and understanding society.   Today, we're joined by Nathalie Williams, a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse services. She has worked with individuals of all age groups, offering support for a wide range of diagnoses across various treatment settings, including in-home, outpatient, inpatient crisis stabilization, and residential care. Nathalie's expertise extends to co-occurring disorders, trauma survivors, high utilizers of behavioral health services, PTSD, offenders, homeless individuals, and those with developmental disabilities. She provides individual and family counseling, group counseling, crisis prevention, assessments, and case management.   In addition to her clinical work, Nathalie has extensive management experience, overseeing programs such as outpatient services, case management, residential group homes, psychiatric support services, and an intensive in-home program for at-risk youth. As the Director of Outpatient Services and Case Management at Lakeview Center of Walton County, Nathalie is dedicated to improving the well-being of her clients. Her career is characterized by a commitment to using evidence-based therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), to provide effective and transformative techniques. Throughout her journey, Nathalie's work embodies the resilience and strength of the human spirit, empowering individuals to overcome even the most challenging circumstances.   “Learning how to make our language more accepting and warmer and making a person feel like the individual that they are, it is a key component to breaking the stigma around mental health.” – Nathalie Williams   Show Highlights:   (00:00:00) Episode disclaimer, highlight, and introduction (00:02:11) Welcoming today's guest, Nathalie Williams.

And in order for us to really meet those needs, collaboration must be a part of the picture.” – Abraham Sculley “If someone you know, or love is talking about things in a way that's a safety concern immediately, get help. Take it seriously.” – Nathalie Williams “I think one of the challenges that we hear or see a lot is not necessarily that there's a lack of resources, but there is no awareness of what resources are accessible. And so, we're not taking advantage of these resources because we don't even know they exist.” – Abraham Sculley “We are not our addiction. We are a person who struggles with those things just like you might struggle with diabetes.” – Nathalie Williams   “It's being observant, it's making people feel heard and being aware of how our communication and language impacts one another.” – Nathalie Williams   “Mental health is our emotional, psychological and social well-being.

Schools are the hub of a community. In our present era, understanding the holistic well-being of students, from academic to personal struggles, becomes paramount. However, the disconnect between parents, students, and schools is a widespread issue that impedes this whole-child growth. This disconnection often arises from a lack of understanding about the challenges students face, particularly regarding family issues and mental health concerns.   To address this disconnection, we must adopt a whole-child approach that goes beyond academic achievements, believes that education should focus on the social, emotional, and psychological aspects of students' lives, and recognizes that a student's overall well-being is intertwined with their academic success. Hence, as we navigate the complexities of the educational landscape, the whole-child approach serves as a guiding principle, urging educators, parents, and schools to embrace a more comprehensive perspective. By acknowledging the needs of students, we pave the way for an educational experience that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures emotional intelligence, resilience, and a profound sense of connection among parents, students, and schools.   In this episode, we want to help listeners gain a deeper understanding of the challenges students face when dealing with family issues and mental health concerns and also to explore ways on how we can bridge the gap between parents, students, and schools. To equip our audience with practical strategies in supporting students facing adversity at home, we empower educators and parents through a role-play scenario on how effective communication helps students overcome challenges. Join us in this episode as we navigate the complexities of student well-being, learn the importance of validating students' experiences, fostering open communication, and the significance of maintaining a balance between home and school dynamics. Tune in today as we embark on this enlightening exploration, providing valuable insights and empowering knowledge.   Today, we're joined by Kate Estefan, a current school counselor with 20 years of experience in public education. Mission-driven and whole-child-centered, Kate is committed to building a positive school climate and culture for students to achieve academically, socially, and emotionally. Through her tenure in this profession, Kate has provided individual and small group counseling, developed a counseling curriculum, led crisis management teams, advised student leadership groups, and has been involved in the implementation of MTSS and SEL content delivery. In addition to NH Educator Certification, Kate is a National Certified Counselor and National Certified School Counselor.    "Mental health is whole health, it's part of our daily health.
