Episode description
In this new episode, the YNA team delves into the history of mental health. In this intriguing conversation, the speakers categorize each era of mental health, starting from the New Stone Age where small holes were chipped into skulls to relieve pressure, to the Dark Ages where exorcisms and abandonment were common. They explore the asylum era, where poorly funded hospitals were established to abandon patients, resulting in inhumane conditions and a rise in mental health stigma. The YNA team shifts to the progress made in the mental health field since the 1990s, acknowledging the importance of early intervention and prevention, the development of new treatments, and the rise of technology. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of mental health, but there is still much work to be done in spreading awareness and providing access to mental health services worldwide. Tune in to this informative and creative conversation on the history and progress of mental health.
