Welcome back to another episode of Slow Down with Aastha.
In this deeply insightful episode, we are honored to have Dr. Kinger, a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist with 38 years of experience in the field of mental health. Dr. Kinger shares his extensive knowledge on depression and suicide awareness, shedding light on these critical issues being faced by so many youngsters around the world today.
We explore how depression impacts individuals of all ages, including children, and why it manifests even in young minds. Dr. Kinger delves into the phenomenon of non-suicidal self-injury, explaining why young children / people may resort to hurting themselves and where this behavior comes from.
The conversation also covers the vital topic of suicide awareness, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and addressing any signs promptly. Additionally, Dr. Kinger discusses the effects of prolonged recreational drug use and its connection to mental health challenges.
