All in the Mind

How to help someone who doesn’t want help, and well-being benefits of holidays


Listen Later

A new series of All in the Mind kicks off with the first of the finalists in the All in the Mind Awards. Seven hundred of you entered the awards and our judging panel had the tricky task of choosing just nine finalists. The first of those is Rachel who was nominated by her husband Sam for all the support she offered him through his depression and psychosis. They tell Claudia Hammond their story.

And in the studio with Claudia is Daryl O'Connor, Professor of Psychology at the University of Leeds. He's got research about a new approach to persuading people with psychosis to look for and accept psychological support.

And Claudia speaks to psychotherapist Sophie Scott about how to persuade a loved one to get professional help when they don't want to.

And finally, new research showing that the psychological benefits of a holiday last longer than you think - but only if you really do switch off from work. And you can make them last even longer by being active on holiday rather than flopping by the pool every day. Daryl and Claudia discuss.

Presenter: Claudia Hammond,

Producer: Lorna Stewart
Studio Manager: Sue Maillot
