Depression, Anxiety, & Suicide: Addressing Mental Illness with Dr. Jonathan Prousky

How do we approach patients with mental health disorders? How do
you engage someone who's really depressed to get off the couch and
get outside? To turn the TV off or put the phone down? The pandemic
has led to an increase in mental illness, with more people
reporting symptoms of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
My guest in this podcast, Dr. Jonathan Prousky ND, has been deeply
entrenched in the world of integrative medicine to support patients
with mental illness. Dr. Prousky has worked in the field of mental
health as a naturopath, chief medical officer, and professor at the
Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, and was inducted into
The Orthomolecular Hall of Fame for his commitment to mental
health. Together, we dive into the essentials for supporting
patients with targeted supplementation, including mechanisms of
action and dosages, how to best engage patients who are struggling
with mental illness, and how to create safety planning for suicidal
patients. You won’t want to miss this episode — I’ve been thinking
about it every day and so will you after listening. Please let me
