If you don't have proper mental health substance use treatment, then we can't prosper as a city, as a state, as a country.
Can you tell the difference between mental health and mental illness? In this episode of 'On Your Radar', host John Williams chats with Dave Gomel from Rosecrance to break down these crucial concepts. With mental health becoming a hot topic, especially post-pandemic, it's more important than ever to understand what each term means and how they impact our lives.
Dave explains that while mental health is about our overall emotional well-being, mental illness refers to specific conditions that require medical diagnosis and treatment. They also tackle the stigma that often surrounds mental illness, making it harder for people to seek the help they need. The conversation covers practical tools like telehealth and psychopharmacology therapy, which have become vital for many during these challenging times.
If you're curious about how to better manage your mental well-being or support someone struggling with mental illness, this episode offers valuable insights and advice.
