Dr. Thomas Insel, a highly respected mental health expert, found inspiration in an honest comment from a frustrated family member. He was speaking to a group of mental health advocates about the advances in research and treatment when a man stood up to tell him that their family’s house was on fire, and Insel was only discussing the chemistry of the paint. This striking remark compelled Insel to reevaluate his priorities and look for ways to make a real impact on mental health care. He went on to work at Google, where he believed technology could help scale the proven therapies and treatments he had been researching. In this episode, Eric and Dr. Insel discuss why we need a different approach to mental health and…
- How to recognize the essential role personalized mental health care plays in improving well-being.
- How to determine the powerful influence of peer support and professional interventions in mental health recovery.
- Understanding the benefits of adopting an outcomes-focused mental health policy.
- Unraveling the challenges of addiction and the need for effective understanding and treatment approaches.
- The urgent need to assess the opportunities of incorporating mental health treatment into other health care programs for holistic care.
