Today we took a deep dive (hence slightly longer) discussion with Eric Kussin, the founder of #SameHere Global Mental Health Movement. Eric talked about how he went from being a seemingly regular guy to being pumped with 50 different combinations of psychotropic medications and lying on his bed wasted. After two and a half years he saw an integrative psychiatrist and thus started his own journey to mental health recovery.

- How do we stop the stigma of mental health by storytelling to normalise mental health

- What're the pros and cons of "celebrity sharing"

- We're all a little "crazy"

- Adverse childhood events, trauma and life (and why Eric doesn't like the phrase "It's OK to be Not OK")

- STARR exercises, Sudarshan Kriya breathing and the Art of Living, "mental" hygiene, and "prescribing" other modalities of healing for mental health
