This week we discuss the recent awareness day #TimeToTalk, Theresa May and Personal Independence Payments. Yay, benefits!
Mostly we discuss the need for these days and the hollow participation of public figures like Theresa May.
Also, we highlight some truly excellent and important voices in mental health on Twitter that deserve a bit more exposure. They certainly don't need my help, but I would feel remiss if I didn't discuss it.
An honest self-examination in light of the death of singular talent, Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries.

Sorry for the awkward intro, I encountered a difficulty with my hard drive which meant I couldn't actually recover some of the files required to smooth it out. My apologies, wont' happen again.
Heavy one this week. Social Media, Envy and God.
This week we talk about the difficulties in social media implied by recent and older research, philosophy and sociology. We discover that a version of this was predicted by Nietzsche oh so long ago.

In this Episode, we jump from the springboard of Jeremy Hunt and recent articles discussing the current state of the NHS to discuss what it really means to have socialized medicine in a society.
We also get quite personal on this one so not only am I worried about the length of this video, I'm worried about the suitability of its content.
I think what's important to note is that there are places far more appropriate and far more useful to admit to certain ailments, especially those related to psychosis. Not that we shouldn't discuss those things in public, I think we should, but some of the minutia is not suitable, in my mind, for public discourse.

Thank you so much to everyone who watches even just a minute or two. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, and until next time, cheerio.
In this episode we dive from the platform of mental health apps to discuss the nature of quick fixes, why they are so appealing and why, while they might seem appealing, they are ultimately, merely, just that. Quick fixes for long term problems.

Rambling and incoherent thoughts on societal compassion and mental health. We jump off from a recent survey about people feeling uncomfortable discussing their mental health with their bosses to wondering why we can't seem to get over the mental and manner hurdles of telling those nearest and dearest to us how we really feel.

Incoherent and rambling thoughts on Scottish Sun journalist, Bill Leckie, speaking about how he has treated his depression on BBC Radio.
First attempt at a blog, if I do another I promise the framing issues and presentation will be all the better for me having slightly messed this one up.
Take care of your heads and keep hold of your hearts.
Love,
Sko
A show where we try to talk about mental health and how it is portrayed in the media as honestly as possible.
