What's Happening - With Rabbi Levi Jacobson

Obsessed With Mental Health


Listen Later

The Jewish world is recognizing the value of wellness and there are many supports that now exist for emotional and psychological well-being. In this episode we question if the focus on mental health can unintentionally encourage over-pathologizing normal challenges and take away opportunities for building resilience. Are we damaging ourselves and our children with our obsession with mental health? Could an overreliance on therapy and diagnoses be limiting our ability to deal with stress? Listen to this episode to find out what Torah and Chassidus have to say about this very important question!
