The Mind Unmasked: Mental Health Awareness Month / S9E15
Description
Guest: Dr. Sean Leonardo Knowles, Physician
Under the theme of Mental Health Awareness Month, Jerome Sawyer sits down with psychiatrist Dr. Sean Leonardo Knowles to confront the deepening mental health crisis in The Bahamas. Together they unpack the alarming rise in suicide—especially among men—and the widespread stigma that keeps so many suffering in silence. Dr. Knowles urges a national response, advocating for mental health education in schools, legal reforms on youth substance use, and increased access to care across the islands. From trauma and addiction to emotional repression in men, this episode issues a compelling call for cultural change, compassionate intervention, and serious investment in the nation’s mental wellbeing.
