The State of Mental Illness in 2025


Listen Later

In this special World Mental Health Day stream, Dr. K explores why mental illness continues to rise even as awareness, therapy, and neuroscience have advanced. He connects the dots between modern lifestyles, constant stimulation, and a growing disconnection from the body. Using insights from both Western psychiatry and Vedic psychology, Dr. K explains how anxiety, burnout, and attention issues are symptoms of a deeper imbalance. The conversation blends brain science with practical tools for rewiring habits and developing real resilience.

Topics include:

  • Why mental health is declining despite more treatment options
    • How technology and constant stimulation mimic ADHD symptoms
      • The role of panic, urgency, and emotional reactivity in shaping attention
        • Practical steps for retraining motivation through small, low-pressure actions
          • Understanding “phantom panic” and how to regulate the nervous system
            • The link between breath, CO₂ balance, and anxiety
              • How diet and the gut–brain connection influence mood
                • Combining therapy, medication, and mind–body practices
                  • Meditation as a long-term way to build focus and emotional stability
