NEW   Episode 8: The shift to mental wellbeing

The conversation around “mental health” is shifting from a focus on disease and dysfunction to holistic wellbeing. This movement is a bottom-up and top-down approach across several aspects of society, from a grassroots movement powered by the people to paradigm pivots in medicine and government. And it couldn’t be better timed because we are now living the “global mental health crisis” warned by the World Health Organization in 2020. But there’s reason for hope: In this episode, we cover where “mental health” is today, demystify the language around the intellectual and emotional self, discuss the mind-body-spirit connection, and delve into the Global Wellness Industry’s landmark report, “Defining the Mental Wellness Economy.” Katherine Johnston, co-author of the report, explains the growing $121 billion market and much more. 
***This episode is the heart of a special editorial package, Mental Wellbeing 2021, which offers articles that delve into aspects covered in this episode.
