In this episode of Y Be Well, host Dr. Jonathon Collopy sits down with Dr. Willough Jenkins, psychiatrist and global mental health advocate, to explore how our emotional well-being is shaped not only by personal stress but by the world around us. Together they unpack the subtle early signs of overwhelm, the impact of constant exposure to global crises and why staying connected, seeking support and finding hope through community are essential tools for resilience. From practical strategies like sleep and exercise to the growing global recognition of mental health as a human right, Dr. Jenkins offers a grounded yet optimistic perspective — reminding us that recovery is possible, and that even in difficult times, connection, action and compassion can light the way forward.
