The components of you that you cannot see are very real and they are attached to components of you that are inside of your brain.
Ever felt like society just doesn’t 'get' mental illness? In this episode of 'Minding Your Amygdala', Dr. Alauna Curry tackles the real issues behind mental health awareness. Despite dedicating a week to mental illness every October, Dr. Curry argues that we're far from truly understanding the complexities of conditions like Depression, Schizophrenia, ADHD, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder.
She sheds light on how our culture misuses terms like 'bipolar' to describe erratic weather or 'crazy' to label those in crisis, highlighting a widespread lack of proper language and empathy in discussing mental health. Dr. Curry doesn't just point out the problems; she dives deep into the primitive brain systems affected by trauma and offers an empathy-based approach to healing.
Her insights are not just theoretical but practical, giving listeners tools to understand their own mental health and support others. She stresses that the invisible parts of us are very real and intricately connected to our brain's inner workings. If you’ve ever wondered why mental health services seem so inadequate or why there's so much stigma around emotional struggles, this episode is for you. Dr.
Curry’s candid discussion breaks down these barriers and provides a transformative perspective on mental health and recovery. It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and find new ways to navigate their mental health journey.
