Psychiatric issues are more accurately conceptualized as brain health conditions rather than traditional mental illnesses.

“we've really come to believe that most psychiatric problems are not mental health issues at all rather they are brain health issues that steal your mind”

Educational systems should proactively teach children how to recognize mental health struggles rather than remaining passive until a crisis occurs.

“one of the things that I think we're really deficient in society wise is we don't do anything in the educational system to teach kids to recognize red flags in their mental health”

Society should treat emotional health with the same priority as physical health rather than ignoring pain until it becomes a crisis.

“with our emotional health we do so if you're having chest pain you're probably going to go see a cardiologist before you have a heart attack if you're having emotional pain the people who come to my office are usually having an emotional heart attack”
