Understanding Mental Health To Better Understand Young People And You
We are all confused with the world today especially when it comes to mental health. It feels like we have blinked and our psychological wellbeing has changed. Riding the wave isn't helping and the baffling observation is that with the countless psychiatric medications and practices that exist, rates of "mental illness" are sky-rocketing.
In this talk we are going to explore what has happened, and why our gut feeling that something isn't quite right, could well be true. I'll be focussing the talk with arguments against the following key areas:
Personal experiences and medicalisation
Autistic spectrum disorders (ASD)
Attention deficit disorders (ADHD or ADD)
The rise in deliberate self harm
Digital wellbeing for the whole family
We will end with plenty of time for a question and answers session which you can submit questions anonymously, or ask directly at the event.
