Raising Healthy Minds: Exploring Trends in Children’s Mental Health

We discuss trending topics in mental health, focusing on the rise of disorders such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorders. The discussion also touches on the impact of societal changes, such as increased awareness and changes in diagnostic criteria, as well as the significant role of technology and social media. The episode emphasises the importance of communication, the unique nature of each individual's condition, and the role of families in supporting mental health. Specific events, like the Bondi Junction incident, are highlighted as triggers for mental health issues, and the conversation explores generational shifts in attitudes toward mental health and resilience.
