Learn about the social, biological and philosophical underpinnings of healthy children, teens and adults, neurodiversity, and the role of emerging healthcare technologies.
In this episode, you will learn about the various causes of anxiety, from both a social and biological perspective. Interestingly, we discuss why anxiety is necessary for a healthy life. On depression, you’ll hear why melancholy, introversion and reduced social contact can actually be helpful to an individual.
You will hear about modern challenges for teenagers, such as social media, climate change, war and economic immobility effect children and parents in modern western countries.
We also dive deeply into Autism Spectrum Disorder, as Dr. Fradkin discusses the significance of early intervention, behavioural therapies, and the role of genetics in shaping neurodiverse profiles. Dr. Fradkin’s research on transcranial photobiomodulation is also discussed. Learn about the critical importance of societal support and inclusive policies in nurturing autistic individuals and how families can navigate raising children with unique needs.
More than a discussion of mental health, we talk about the difference between being okay and thriving, and what it takes to reach your full potential.
