In this episode of the Millennium Counseling Center Podcast, Derek and Oren dive into the mental health landscape of 2024. They discuss how society’s perception of mental health has evolved, making it more acceptable for people to seek help and talk about their struggles. The conversation covers the impact of stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges in today’s fast-paced world and how these issues manifest in everyday life.
They touch on how global events like the COVID-19 pandemic have accelerated the openness towards mental health discussions, particularly among younger generations who are more educated and aware of these issues. Derek shares insights from his clients, noting that many people who might not have sought help a decade ago are now more willing to talk about their mental health.
He points out that mental health issues don’t always have to be severe conditions like schizophrenia; they can be everyday stressors such as anxiety, depression, financial pressures, and relationship challenges. Oren adds that as more people openly discuss their mental health, what was once considered 'normal' has shifted, leading to a reduction in stigma. The hosts also explore practical ways to identify and manage stress and anxiety. They emphasise the importance of self-awareness and intentional self-care.
Derek uses the metaphor of having too many tabs open on a laptop to illustrate how we often overload ourselves with tasks and responsibilities. He suggests that recognising when you need to 'close some tabs' can help prevent burnout. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding how societal attitudes towards mental health are changing and what practical steps you can take to manage your own mental well-being.
Whether you're dealing with everyday stress or more severe mental health challenges, Derek and Oren offer valuable insights and advice to help you navigate your journey.
