Gresham College Lectures Living with Mental Health
There is a rising number of people of all ages with mental health illnesses globally, that has been accompanied by a greater willingness to talk about it in many places. What are the most common disorders and the best treatment options, including non-medical treatment and lifestyle modifications?
The lecture will conclude by looking at global mental health myths, for example in several cultures individuals with problems are considered to be holding a negative spirit inside them.
A lecture by Monica Lakhanpaul recorded on 6 February 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.
