Is Mental Health a Physical Health Issue?

R. B.'s Kitchen Talk Podcast

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, R.B. and her guest, Dr. Robin Wiley, discuss the evolving understanding of mental health and the growing trend within the medical profession to view mental health as intertwined with physical health. They emphasize that not all mental health concerns are illnesses; many are episodic or short-term. Additionally, mental health issues are often underreported due to the stigma that still surrounds mental illness, particularly in the Black community. Listen to this important topic.
Dr. Wiley highlights the increasing attention given to mental health in elementary schools. This shift acknowledges the significant impact of a child's environment and the pressures they face from their peers. Schools are now more proactive in addressing and supporting the mental well-being of their students, reflecting a broader societal recognition of the importance of mental health from a young age.
