Dr. Roger McFillin welcomes back Clinical Psychologist Dr. Riz Ahmad to explore a fundamental question: "Does nature make mistakes?" Challenging conventional psychiatric approaches, they argue that what we label as mental illness is actually be the body's natural signals for change. The psychologists contrast traditional mental health treatment with 'functional mental health', which focuses on root causes and the interconnection between physical and mental well-being rather than subjective labels and drugs. Through practical examples, they advocate for a paradigm shift that considers the whole person - from lifestyle and nutrition to relationships and spiritual health - ultimately calling for a healthcare system that heals rather than simply suppresses symptoms.
