In between these camps in the middle, there's the vast wasteland, and that's where I am in this nowhere place where the subsidised sessions barely scratch the surface, but, culturally speaking, we're not scared enough to intervene further. Struggling but not suicidal enough, not suicidal enough.
Ever felt like finding a good psychiatrist is as tricky as finding your soulmate? In this episode of 'All In The Mind', host Sanne Kadar dives into her own rollercoaster ride through the mental health care system. From the sky-high costs of therapy to the limited options available, Kadar paints a vivid picture of the hurdles many face when seeking help.
She calls it the 'vast wasteland' of mental health care—a place where people are often left in limbo because they aren't 'suicidal enough' to get immediate help. Kadar doesn't just stop at the financial struggles; she also delves into the cultural stigmas that make seeking help even more challenging. Despite society being more open about mental health than before, many still hesitate to reach out due to lingering taboos.
Her candid reflections on her own emotional struggles and the daunting task of getting a diagnosis add a deeply personal touch to the episode. One of the most compelling parts of her story is her relentless search for a psychiatrist, which she likens to dating—full of dead ends and disappointments. But Kadar's persistence pays off, leading her to a specialized mental health clinic in her hometown.
This episode is a powerful reminder that while the mental health care system may be flawed, advocating for yourself can lead to finding the support you need. Whether you've struggled with mental health issues yourself or know someone who has, Kadar's raw and honest storytelling makes this episode a must-listen.
