Description

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.
