Mindset - An International Cast Talks Mental Health! Part 2

In this episode, the expert panel continues to explore mental health and its treatment. Mental health has many facets and a holistic approach is required to provide the best opportunity for any intervention or treatment to be successful and sustained. Perception and prejudice along with a lack of services and structure all play a part in the experiences of those with mental health challenges but there are ways to live your best life if you have great support and knowledgeable professionals around you.

Trauma can change brain chemistry either temporarily or permanently. It’s important to achieve a balance, a new norm for the person. There needs to be support in place for any changes to be sustained. You can begin with a mental illness and this can result in physical illness.

Living with mental health conditions has its good days and its bad days but you can live your best life. Before puberty, boys are able to express their emotions but after puberty, there is an intensification of emotion but less opportunity for expression. Mental health in minority groups is treated very differently from that of their white counterparts. Most parents don’t seek help if they have a mental health problem because they are worried their child would be taken away. There are now dedicated units where mothers and babies/children can stay together while being treated.   BEST MOMENTS  ‘You need to only be with people are conducive to your mental health’ ‘We should encourage each other to speak more and this is especially important for men’ ‘Seeking help has got to be better than not seeking help’   ABOUT THE GUESTS Brenda Malinki (BM) - Telecoms consultant, mental health and women empowerment advocate Cheys Chagomerana (CC) - Finance professional with experience in management consultancy   Dalitso Nyalani (DN) - Licenced mental health therapist with experience in addiction and trauma Fai Cheleuka (FC) - Residential provider for people with mental illness and developmental disabilities Folake Yusuff (FY) - GP and advocate for mental and financial well-being Pamela Naphiyo (PN) - Finance student with experience in social welfare and spiritual wellbeing Rhodrick Kalumpha (RK) - Chartered Accountant, cultural activist and mental health advocate Wanangwa Clara Namelo (WCN) - Clinical oncologist, part of leadership team in Women Ministries   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series   ABOUT THE HOST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world’s top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).
