Mental health - we all have it. Yep, even you.

We are all getting so good at looking after the various aspects of our physical health - nutrition, types of exercise, light exposure, cold baths - whatever your bag is, we're here for it. And many are catching on that the same approach can be used to look at aspects of our mental health. There are things we know make us feel great and then things we do that make us feel... well, not so great. We're human and we have and will continue to get that balance wrong a lot. But we believe part of getting it wrong a little less is being aware of what those things are. Enter the world of therapy that can help us with this process of discovery, identification and support in understanding our rationale behind behaviours that no longer serve us present day and illuminating a world in which we might be able to make differences choices.

Here, we're speaking with Dr. Mitesh Patel discussing mental health and psychiatry. Mitesh talks about the pyramid of sound foundational principles - what we can do to foster sound mental health - and offers a unique perspective of what this field of work is highlighting at the moment. We cover:
