Playing with Marbles Season 3 Episode 2 Cover Art
MONTREAL, Feb. 26, 2024 (Globe Newswire) — Playing with Marbles, Brain Canada's English-language podcast about all things brain, is back. This season, we focus on the perspectives of people who have lived experience with a range of mental health conditions.
Half of Canadians have experienced a mental illness by the age of 40, and young people are particularly susceptible to mental illness. Whether due to societal pressures, post-pandemic stress, the current political climate, or other factors, young Canadians often suffer from mental health issues at disproportionately high rates.
“One in four young people needs to access mental health services each year,” says Dr. Vivian Poupon, President and CEO of Brain Canada. “Mental health conditions are becoming more serious, and not just because we are becoming more aware of them. The need for treatment is actually increasing, and now is the time to get it.” The time has come to recognize this and act.”
Join host Katie Jensen on a journey deep into six unique brains to learn about young people living with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Learn what it's like firsthand. ), dissociative identity disorder, and eating disorders. You'll also have the chance to hear from neuroscientists and clinicians about what they think is really going on in our brains, and learn more about the latest treatments.
“Each episode this season follows the story of a real person living with a real mental health condition,” says Katie Jensen. “Most mental illnesses start at a young age, so that's where this season starts.”
Listeners can expect to hear from Brain Canada-funded researchers, including Dr. Joe Henderson, Dr. Tamara Vanderwal, and Dr. Sheena Jocelyn, as well as many other special guests.
