This is the final episode in the first miniseries that was an Introduction to Mental Health.  In this episode, I discuss my perception of mental health and medications as a professional counselor. I also have insight from Dr. Steven Hollon, a researcher from Vanderbilt University in Nashville TN. Dr. Hollon's portion is an excerpt from a recent interview I did with him about the brain and how it adapts to survive. The full interview will be published in my miniseries called The Brain and Mental Health and the episode will be called "The Brain and Adaption". So be sure to hit Follow so you won't miss Dr. Hollon's interview along with some other educational and interesting episodes.  Until then, I wish you peace and good mental health.

In this episode, I discuss issues that some clients present in session, as well as potential origins of the development of these issues; a couple of examples include (1) high levels of anxiety due to control and predict tendencies for the illusion of emotional safety and (2) feeling "not good enough" for one's family and friend group. I briefly give my opinion on why therapy works for some people and why not for others.Happy Listening:)I wish you Peace and Good Mental HealthSuzie

Come along with me and a couple of friends as we discuss mental health at a campground in the woods (with a little Batman thrown in:)Peace and Good Mental Health

In this episode, I'll explore mental health diagnosis by discussing the different types of codes  associated with diagnosis and third-party billing. Although not the most exciting topic, the goal of this episode is to help you understand the process of diagnosis as well as some of the benefits. It is also my hope that you will become more informed about the topic and, should you seek counseling, the knowledge to develop your own questions for the mental health provider. 

This is the second episode in mini-series 1 (Basic Information about therapy)I will address the different types of mental health providers as well as the various environments in which counseling / therapy takes place.I wish you peace and good mental healthDr. Suzie Dukichttps://mentalhealth5.com/
