In this powerful and deeply important episode, we shed light on an often overlooked issue: eating disorders in men. While conditions like anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder are frequently associated with women, men suffer too — often in silence, hidden by stigma and misunderstanding. We dive into the real experiences behind these struggles, emphasizing that there is a person behind every illness, battling serious physical and mental health challenges that, in severe cases, can lead to suicidal thoughts.Joining us first is Conor Nolan, a mental health advocate from Blacklion and former student of St Clare's Comprehensive School, Manorhamilton. Conor shares his personal story of developing anorexia at just 12 years old.Conor opens up about how the illness “crept” into his life during early secondary school years.He reflects on feeling "helpless" and "possessed" by his disorder and the long, private road to recovery while trying to maintain a "normal" appearance to the outside world.His book, "Normal", offers personal insights and advice for teenagers, parents, siblings, and friends to better understand and recognize eating disorders early.Today, Conor co-runs the Normal - Mental Wellbeing Project, proudly co-funded by the European Commission, helping young people across Ireland.You can find Conor's book "Normal" on Amazon and in local Irish bookstores.We then welcome Sean Blake, a married father of four from Dublin, who bravely shares his journey of mental health struggles from childhood into adulthood, culminating in his diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa coming into his 30s.Sean discusses the challenges of facing an eating disorder later in life and how being open about his story is helping him heal while hopefully inspiring others.Sean is actively involved in mental health advocacy through Shine, Bodywhys, and St Patrick's Mental Health Services, and he featured in the RTE documentary "Anorexia: My Family & Me."Closing Thoughts:Eating disorders are not just physical illnesses — they are deeply rooted in mental health. They do not discriminate by gender, age, or background.We hope today's conversations with Conor and Sean shine a light on the hidden struggles many endure and encourage listeners to seek help if they need it or to better support those around them.If you or someone you know is affected, please reach out for help:www.shine.ie – Confidential support for mental health recovery.

Together, they explore perfectionism as more than just a personality trait—it's often a protective mechanism rooted in fear, family dynamics, and a desire for acceptance. Dr. Cousineau introduces her Evolve Method, a compassionate six-step process to help us manage perfectionist tendencies and move toward healing and self-compassion.

The Access and Choice Programme, biggest investment in mental health in a generation, has now been in place for five years. The Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission released its final report on the programme rollout yesterday. The programme was funded from the 2019 wellbeing budget. You'll remember that, where more than a billion dollars, nearer to $2 billion, was committed to mental health support, to provide support for ‘mild to moderate' needs relating to mental health and problematic substance use or gambling in primary care and community settings. That's the official name for it. So you turn up to your GP, the GP says your corporeal self is not the issue, you need to shore up your mental wellbeing and instead of sending you away and then you have to make an appointment and wait, they can just hand you over to a mental health worker who's parked up right next door. It's is a really sound idea in principle. Did it work? Is it working? The answer appears to be, looking at the report, up to a point, yes, it is. The number of people seen per year by services has increased steadily over the last five years to more than 207,000 for the 23/24 financial year, but it does fall short of the programs target of 325,000. CEO of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission, Karen Orsborn defended the program on the Mike Hosking breakfast yesterday and says the program is achieving what it's set out to do. “It does work. And we've heard some really, really positive feedback from the people who use these services. And so it is working for many people, it's just not getting to the number of people that it really needs to. And some of this is the way the service was designed – so having people in individual practices and people being able to access on the day and that's, there's not a steady flow of people always needing those services. So what we also need to use is some of the digital virtual tools to make sure that people are being fully utilised across the country. So there are some strengths in the model, but there's also some areas that need to improve.” And that's pretty much what the Minister for Mental Health Matt Doocey said when he spoke to Early Edition yesterday. He said that when he was in opposition, he was broadly supportive of the Access and Choice Programme, but since becoming Minister, he's seen ways to improve it and to broaden its reach. “Looking forward, I think part of the solution is going to be digitising the Access and Choice Programme, shifting it online so that will enable the staff to have higher utilisation rates and see more people. What I want to see is that programme rolled out further. We want to hit its target of seeing 325,000 people. Not only that, one of my first targets, I've set five targets for mental health —first time in New Zealand would have mental health targets— is for people to be seen within one week of the service, so I want more people to be seen and seen quicker.” I guess the questions I have are, given the conversations we've had around the lack of support for parents looking for help for their children, for people looking for help and dealing with their mental wellbeing is, is it fit for purpose? Are you able to access the help when you need it? When it comes to the substance abuse, that's one aspect of mental health and wellbeing. When it comes to the problem gambling, it's another, when you've got children who are in pain that's a whole other area. When you've got people who are just struggling with the day-to-day life, that's a whole other area as well. There are so many different ways, just as there is with physical ill health, that you can be mentally unwell. Are the services there for those who need it across the broad spectrum?

During the 2022 legislative session, the Legislature established what's called a competency attainment board and a program of forensic navigators. The program, which aims to connect people found mentally incompetent to stand trial with services, has now been in effect for a year. The board was created following a KARE 11 investigation that revealed thousands of people charged with a crime were found mentally incompetent to stand trial but did not receive mental health treatment. Many of these people would go on to commit more violent crimes. Ryan Flynn, the chair of the Competency Attainment Board, and Kim Larson, who oversees the forensic navigator program, joined Minnesota Now to talk about what they've learned in the first year of the program.

Slow and steady improvements in mental health and addiction service access. Minister Matt Doocey's latest quarterly target updates have been released and show a small increase in the proportion of people being seen by specialist and primary services in under a month. However shorter ED department stays are still far below the 95% target, rising slightly to 65%. Doocey told Kerre Woodham it's a work in progress. He says he believes there is no silver bullet, but improvements happen through the sum of every action, which is why they now have very clear targets. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's highlighted an Achilles' heel with a $664 million mental health programme that's missing targets. Labour's 2019 'Wellbeing' Budget saw the Access and Choice Programme receive its funding over five years. It's aiming to support 325 thousand people per year, but during 2023-24 saw just over 207 thousand. Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey told Andrew Dickens utilization is a weak point. He says a warm handover to GPs is good for those who need to be seen urgently, but it means there's a workforce being under used. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Many adults with ADHD struggle with perfectionism. And that's the topic of this week's podcast. How do we thrive as adults with ADHD without letting perfectionism get in our way? Let's discuss the dilemma of perfectionism and adult ADHD. Dr. Tara Cousineau is the guest on this episode of Overcoming Distractions and author of the book The Perfectionist's Dilemma.  She is also the author of the “Kindness Cure” and has joined us on the podcast several times. Trained at Harvard Medical School, she's a part-time staff psychologist at Harvard University's Counseling and Mental Health Service. Dr. Cousineau describes herself as a recovering perfectionist, and because of that, she discusses why she decided to write The Perfectionist's Dilemma. Dr. Cousineau gives us a basic definition of what she feels perfectionism is. Dave and Dr. Cousineau discuss how we can find more balance, peace and joy by tackling perfectionism. And how we can cultivate a better relationship with ourselves. Dr. Cousineau also discusses the following with Dave. Where is perfectionism rooted? Is it a fear of judgment, etc…? People pleasing? Are we born as perfectionists, or is this learned behavior? Perfectionism is more than just work. We also see this in social interactions and in other areas of our life. Can perfectionism cause anxiety and stress? Can it even lead to burnout? Dr. Cousineau walks listeners through a beginning strategy to help minimize the challenges of perfectionism.

This week's Last Word commentary examines the growing demand for mental health services in Bexar County—and whether the state will provide the funding needed to meet it. Bob Rivard unpacks the county's plan to expand in-patient mental health services, why the need for more capacity has been a long-standing issue, and what it will take for Texas lawmakers to support these efforts. With statewide hospital bed shortages and increasing pressure on emergency rooms and law enforcement, how will Bexar County's move impact care for those in crisis? And will the state step up to ensure these investments aren't made in isolation? Join us for a thoughtful reflection on mental health policy, local leadership, and the future of state funding for critical care services. -- --

Once she retired from the military, Sharjuan was hired at the clinic and believes her understanding of military life(enlisted member, officer, spouse, & mother) enhances her ability to bring the community together. "We want to break down the stigma behind mental health. We also want to make sure people will get comfortable and used to saying the words that need to be said when we are talking about helping someone." Services are provided to all post-9/11 Veterans, active duty(with a Tricare referral), National Guard, Reserves and anyone they consider family. They accept ages 2+ and no exclusions for race, sexuality, or discharge status. For individual therapy, the clinicians use evidenced-based, client-centered care to help with challenges such as depression, anxiety, adjustment, anger, grief & loss, transition, and behavioral concerns with children. Some of the modalities used are CBT(cognitive-behavioral therapy), CBT-I(cognitive-behavioral therapy, insomnia), Gottman Method Therapy(for couples), EFT(emotionally focused therapy for couples), DBT(dialectical behavioral therapy), MI(motivational interviewing), ACT(acceptance and commitment therapy), and IFS(Internal Family Systems). For children, the clinicians use therapy models such as MATCH(modular approach to therapy with children), PCIT(parent-child interaction therapy), TF-CBT(trauma-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy), and play therapy. The clinic also offers family and couples therapy. They also offer case management services for help with legal issues, education, housing, and more. They work with other agencies such as Veteran's Bridge Home, NCCARE360, and NC Works. The clinic recognizes that there may be barriers to receiving services and they are determined to break them down. They have partnered with the local YMCA to provide child care on site while a member is receiving services, they can provide ride-sharing for anyone in a 50-mile radius to get to the clinic, and financially they accept all insurances and can help with those who don't feel comfortable using their insurance or don't have health insurance. The Stephen A. Cohen Military Clinic at Centerstone in Fayetteville is part of the larger network of clinics(24 around the United States) and works closely with 2 other Centerstone clinics in Tennessee and Florida. By partnering closely with the other 2 clinics, they are able to accommodate the fluctuating needs to reduce wait times. Virtual clients can typically get started in a week and they also offer spanish-speaking services. This partnership also allows them to provide tele-therapy to their clients in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and other states in the future. Some of their clients enjoy the additional confidentiality and accessibility that tele-therapy offers. They were also 1 of 4 clinics to receive a grant to be able to serve members and their families in the LGBTQI+ community. This gives them services free of charge and allows for their clinicians to take supplemental trainings to work specifically with this population. They offer group therapy for grief, substance use, parenting, and attachment. Many community events are hosted as well for movie nights, charcuterie boards, vision boards, flower arranging, and many more. Check out their events page for the latest. "They {clinicians} understand military cultural competency and I think that's the most important part when you are trying to serve military veterans and their families." All clinicians on staff are intimately connected to the military experience and understand the unique challenges that these people and their families experience especially during transition to civilian life as well as managing trauma. "A lot of the times when people think about receiving mental health treatment, they think it's a scary thing and they don't really know who they are going to see. And when they see that the people look just like you and me, they are regular people, it's not so scary and it helps." Sharjuan stays grounded by engaging in mindfulness, meditation, journaling and healthy eating.

"I like to say when I got out of the military the one thing I learned to do was cry and it felt really good."

With only a few more weeks to go until Election Day, former President Trump made a campaign stop in New York, making his case to voters in the historically blue state. The Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance in Michigan, being interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, and drew criticism for deflecting on questions about the economy and border security. Both campaigns continue visits to key swing states such as Pennsylvania, Arizona and North Carolina, as recent polling shows that the 2024 race may come down to the wire. Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) joins the Rundown to discuss the President's recent visit to her home state, what she made of Vice President Harris' sit down with Oprah, and her take on the final months of the Biden administration. September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. In recent years, there has been an increased effort to destigmatize mental health issues and help those who are suffering. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline was launched just over two years ago to assist those in need of professional assistance and who feel they could cause harm to themselves. Dr. Anita Everett is the Director of the Center for Mental Health Services within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, or SAMSA. She joins the Rundown to discuss how 988 works, the warning signs of suicide, and what people can do to get the mental health services they or their family may need.
