Mental Health: Discussions around mental health are everywhere. But as different industries ask themselves how to get mental health right, our research points towards the need for a shift in how we understand its causes and, by extension, deliver solutions. In this episode, host Eliot is joined by ReD partner Anne Mette Wørose Lottrup and Emily Mendenhall, medical anthropologist and professor at Georgetown University, to discuss moving beyond a biological and individual understanding of mental health. How do the social sciences help us get to the social, environmental, and cultural factors underpinning psychological distress? What new opportunities for public and private players does this widening in our understanding afford? And how might a more holistic approach to care offer new approaches to solutions and a way out of our current mental health crisis? by Phenomena
