Ouvir episódio

In this powerful and refreshingly honest episode, we sit down with Dr. Andres Fonseca, psychiatrist, co-founder, and CEO of Thrive Mental Wellbeing, to unpack the future of mental health and the myths of workplace wellbeing. With over 30 years of clinical experience, Andres brings a no-nonsense perspective to what’s working - and what’s not - in the world of mental health.

We explore:

Why “positive workplace culture” often misses the mark

The dangers of overdiagnosis and why pathologising everyday challenges does more harm than good

What the next decade holds for mental health, neuroscience, and personalised care

And why advice to your younger self might be more harmful than helpful

Whether you’re a mental health professional, a business leader, or just someone looking for real talk in a noisy wellness world, this episode will challenge you to think deeper - and more critically - about how we define and support mental health today.
