#3 - Tackling Mental Health w/ Aaron Stadlin-Robbie

As a civilization, we are only just beginning to wake up to the concept of mental health, and the integral role it plays in governing each of our daily lives. As actors, athletes, musicians and even world leaders begin to open-up about their battles with mental health, the human blights of depression, anxiety, panic, delusion and self-harm - that have been swept under the carpet for centuries - are, for the first time, being readily acknowledged and confronted. 

But despite mental illness claiming a life every 40 seconds, the subject remains heavily shrouded in prejudice, suspicion, awkwardness and shame.

In this episode, I'm joined by Aaron Stadlin-Robbie - the founder of Talking Mental. Together we discuss his challenges with mental illness, Hong Kong and its pitfalls, the spectrum of mental health, the implications of the pandemic, the disparity between physical and mental illness, young people and their uncertain future, mental wellbeing as a performance enhancer, appealing to masculinity, the normalization of mental health discussion, the future of the mental health and a whole load more.

I hope you enjoy.
