episode 8: The shift to mental wellbeing
The conversation around "mental health" is shifting from a focus on disease and dysfunction to holistic wellbeing. It's a bottom-up and top-down approach, and it couldn't be better timed because we are now living the "global mental health crisis" warned by the World Health Organization in 2020. But there's reason for hope: We cover where "mental health" is today, demystify language on our intellectual and emotional selves, discuss the mind-body-spirit connection, and delve into the Global Wellness Industry's landmark report, "Defining the Mental Wellness Economy." Katherine Johnston, co-author of the report, explains the growing $121 billion market and much more.
