We're not saying that there isn't a role for medication, institutionalization, psychoanalysis, but it's a continuum, and there are times when that's necessary, but there are other times when the emphasis should be on Salutogenic processes so that they never get to where they need that serious intervention.
Mental health is often a hidden struggle, affecting one in four adults each year. In this episode of 'Beyond Theory', Victor Brick opens up about his personal journey and his mission to make mental health resources accessible to all. As the co-founder of the John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation, Victor was inspired by his brother John's battle with schizophrenia.
His experience drives his advocacy for a holistic approach to mental health care, focusing on preventive measures and overall well-being rather than just treatment. Victor shares his thoughts on the continuum of care, from medication and institutionalization to more holistic approaches like mindfulness and wellness. He discusses the challenges of mental health treatment in the US and the impact of Covid-19 on mental well-being.
With a blend of personal anecdotes and broader insights, this episode sheds light on the urgent need to break the stigma surrounding mental health and make support more accessible and affordable for everyone. Whether you're dealing with mental health issues yourself or supporting someone who is, Victor's story offers valuable perspectives and hope.
