Ryan Zadrazil, from Wisconsin, US, joins me in this episode to discuss mental health. Ryan is an executive at BetterMynd, an Online Therapy for College Students. BetterMynd Partners with colleges to improve the mental health of students everywhere.
Below is an abridgment of our discussion:

A lot of universities have recognized that students need help but there’s not enough budget for that…students schedule appointments and this will not occur until another month out when they really need those counseling services there and there. That’s when BetterMind can come in and provide those diverse counseling services to those students on campus.
We need to prioritize our mental health. Our mental health, not only our physical, is equally important if we are to be well-rounded human beings.
Some types of mental disorders:


Anxiety disorders, including panic disorder,      obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobias.
Depression, bipolar disorder, and other mood disorders.
Eating disorders.
Personality disorders.
Post-traumatic stress disorder.
Psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia.

4. There should be an all-encompassing mental health program from high school all through college – and people would be more aware of the issues they are facing. This will give them the ability to prevent some of the side effects that happen when they are unmedicated or don’t understand what’s going on in their minds. There isn’t enough being done in this regard in the US and the world at large.
5. Dealing with mental issues: A morning routine coupled with breathing technics. The first hour of the day do things that will mentally prepare you – like listening to soothing music or going on a walk to get the spirit of serenity and calm.  Also, have a wind-down routine at the end of your day.
