“But I think again, what I learned after my own experience is that these kinds of negative, distorted thoughts are incredibly common, and of course more common if there's a mental health condition.”
What happens when the weight of hopelessness feels too heavy to bear? In this episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', host Paul Gilmartin sits down with Dr. Christine Moutier, the chief medical officer for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Dr. Moutier brings a wealth of knowledge from both her personal and professional life, offering a compassionate perspective on dealing with hopelessness.
She dives into the often-overlooked aspects of mental health, like the physical toll it can take and the critical importance of self-kindness. The conversation also touches on how the culture within medical training can shape attitudes towards mental health and the pressing need to create better access to care. Whether you're looking for ways to support a loved one or seeking strategies to manage your own mental health, Dr. Moutier's insights are both practical and deeply empathetic.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness or wanting to understand more about mental health struggles.
