Mental Matters

In this episode we tackle the extremities of mental health and how to identify when it's a good time to seek professional diagnosis. Psychiatrist Dr. Bell speaks to us about schizophrenia and the big whopper - SUICIDE! What do we do when we feel this way or when some-one opens up to us about it?

In this episode we look at coping and caring - So, you've opened up about your mental health struggles - what's next? How do we cope and how do we care for those coping?

Someone wrote somewhere once: Depression, it's like drowning but not being able to die. If we never understood before that visual, we certainly do now - It's an unbearable devastation for all involved. In this episode, Gio talks about how he went through his depression mostly in silence and mostly alone. 

There is a silent community of emotional sufferers and it's also a very big community because nobody talks about what they are experiencing - mainly due to the stigma but also the voices that tell us we are alone and we are going through this ALONE! In this episode we talk about the signs of depression and mental distress and how to help ourselves and those who may need help.
