So you're saying millennials and younger generations are talking more openly about mental health.
00:04
Do you also think therapy and mental health tools have become more normalized among younger
00:10
generations? This is compared to older generations, or are they facing, are they still facing some
00:16
stigmas? I think there's still some stigma associated with it, and we need to continue
00:21
to sort of challenge the stigma of having mental health difficulties. I mean, everyone is prone to
00:27
having mental health difficulties at different points in their lives. We need to distinguish
00:32
normal unhappiness and sadness and normal kind of anxiety from pathological depression or anxiety
00:40
disorder. And the ways that we distinguish that are things like how much is it impacting on your life?
00:46
And I think it's really important that we do say to young people and to each other that being
00:50
anxious sometimes is a perfectly normal thing to do. In fact, it's actually a helpful thing to be
00:55
anxious when you're facing an exam because, for example, or a sports event or something that you
01:00
need to perform at because anxiety helps increase your performance to a certain extent. But if you
01:06
have too much anxiety, it can impact on your day to day functioning and it can become a kind of
01:12
disorder which needs the right help and support. I think young people are more open to receiving
01:17
therapy, to receiving help than perhaps the previous generation 20 or 30 years ago were. And that's a
01:23
really positive thing.
