Sweta and Taylor talk to Dr. Swati Divakarla, a board-certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist about mental health broadly and especially during COVID19. They cover a range of topics from the mental health of frontline healthcare workers (suicides increasing) to why mental health coverage in the US falls short despite its obvious benefit to overall human health. They get into the role of social media for mental health (both good and bad), the stigma around seeking out services, and even the benefits of shock therapy (hint: NOT for “fixing” homosexuality).
It’s been a rough year globally since the pandemic broke out, and Dr. Swati explains steps everyone can take to look after their mental health in this time of COVID and beyond. This is an incredibly informative episode that is relevant to anyone who has experienced either the direct and/or indirect impacts of COVID.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
