Perhaps you’re noticing the way your mind impacts your body (particularly your gut!) and you’re wanting to get some more help with your state of mind. In Australia, it can be really confusing to know where to start when it comes to trying to improve your mental health - do you get a mental health diagnosis? Do you take medication or try psychotherapy? If medication (such as an SSRI) helps, does that mean you had a chemical imbalance in your brain? What if medication doesn’t work, what does that mean about your brain? Dr Paul Denborough is here to shed light on these kinds of questions today. He is a psychiatrist with over 20 years of clinical experience and is co-founder of the exciting new mental health awareness campaign titled the ‘Not Broken Project’ with the University of Adelaide.To learn more about the Not Broken Project you can visit:https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ylm91L16Zfo46voSwgxLZhttps://discovery.college/podcast/not-broken/ Do you want to learn more about the mind-gut connection?
