We all know money doesn’t buy happiness. But how do you explain the fact that wealthy people are three times more likely to struggle with addiction than the average population? Why are children raised in affluent homes at significantly higher risk of mental health problems than their lower income peers?
Today’s episode explores the ways in which wealth can impact mental health. My guest is Jan Gerber, founder and CEO of Paracelsus Recovery.
Paracelsus is the world’s most exclusive addiction and mental health treatment centre, providing discretion and luxury for an international clientele of world leaders, royal families, titans of tech, A-list actors and athletes.
In our conversation, Jan explains the concepts of ‘imposter syndrome’ and ‘affluent neglect’ and how they lead to mental health ailments. We also discuss the important mind-body-spirit connection to mental health. There were lots of great lessons for all of us.
Serious Coin creator and host is Kelly Willis Green. Having spent a career as a marketing professional in wealth management and having come into affluence through marriage, Kelly brings both a personal and professional perspective to conversations about wealth – its complexities, privileges, opportunities and challenges.
