About fifty percent of our basic adult personality is formed by age 3 and 85% by age 6 according to psychiatry research, but we can change this through MENTAL HEALTH NEWS RADIO ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS WITH DR. PAUL MEIER podcasts, therapy, God in our lives and healthy intimate friendships.
Ever wondered how much of who you are today was shaped before you even started school? In this engaging episode of 'Mental Health News Radio', host Kristin Walker sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Paul Meier to unpack the profound impact of the first six years of life on personality development. They dive into fascinating psychiatry research that suggests half of our basic adult personality is formed by age three, and a staggering 85% by age six.
But don't worry, it's not all set in stone—there's room for change and growth. Dr. Meier shares eye-opening insights on how essential physical touch is for babies, explaining that a lack of it can lead to severe consequences like marasmus. He also discusses how inconsistent parenting in the first 18 months can contribute to borderline personality traits later in life.
The conversation doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff, exploring how early experiences shape our views on everything from self-esteem to relationships. But it's not all doom and gloom. Dr. Meier emphasizes the power of therapy, spirituality, and healthy friendships in healing emotional wounds from those early years. He also touches on the link between mental and physical health, highlighting the benefits of spec scans in diagnosing and treating mental health issues.
This episode offers a deep dive into various personality disorders, the challenges of living with conditions like OCD, and the importance of medication in mental health treatment. Whether you're a parent, someone interested in psychology, or just curious about what makes you tick, this roundtable discussion promises valuable insights and practical advice.
