About this episode
In this special World Mental Health Day stream, Dr. K explores why mental illness continues to rise even as awareness, therapy, and neuroscience have advanced. He connects the dots between modern lifestyles, constant stimulation, and a growing disconnection from the body. Using insights from both Western psychiatry and Vedic psychology, Dr. K explains how anxiety, burnout, and attention issues are symptoms of a deeper imbalance. The conversation blends brain science with practical tools for rewiring habits and developing real resilience. Topics include: Why mental health is declining despite more treatment options How technology and constant stimulation mimic ADHD symptoms The role of panic, urgency, and emotional reactivity in shaping attention Practical steps for retraining motivation through small, low-pressure actions Understanding “phantom panic” and how to regulate the nervous system The link between breath, CO₂ balance, and anxiety How diet and the gut–brain connection influence mood Combining therapy, medication, and mind–body practices Meditation as a long-term way to build focus and emotional stability HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.
