Curving the microphone boom AROUND his beard on the right side would avoid the scraping sound every time he moves his face.

The required therapy for borderline personality disorder is dialectical behavioral therapy. When the subject of Canadian health care comes up, most people think of free health care. Andy and his team seem to have pointed out a glaring fact. In Canada a Canadian citizen can get free medical care for almost any physical ailment you can think of, however when it comes to mental health these same people will simply run into road blocks when it comes to no-cost therapy such as dialectical behavioral therapy. Canadian citizens are often told that their only option is the private option for which they have to pay thousands of dollars.
I love this guy. Brilliant talk. Thank you.
Can AI understand our mind?
Is AI our friend without emotion?
"That’s sad. How plastic and artificial life has become. It gets harder and harder to find something…real.”
I'm here because this man is so hot🔥🔥🔥
from lengthy experience of depression and anxiety (from even before I could name my experience) ..I have come to a conclusion .. I might suggest that an Essential part of any form of cognitive therapy should be the dissemination and adoption of the practice of 'MINDFULNESS'
I'm not sure if an overemphasis on data driven approaches is strictly advisable but, with refinement it is doubtless a meritorious agenda Plus … his use of newly invented digitally oriented psychotherapeutic memes was a delight in itself .. significantly lifted my mood :))
Love your videos!!!
xt is doing good things at the moment, wednesday nights are now so interesting 😆.
I raise awareness for mental health if anybody is interested in checking out my channel. Stay positive x
How about considering it a good thing like with autism now everyone wants to be autistic because its a “gift” im being sarcasticish but in all seriousness we just need to change our attitude towards it and just love eachother so people will stop using it to seek attention because the feel alone
what a promising solution for a wide world serious problem ..
I hope we make a world cooperation against depression .. I hope every struggling one to feel health and better and achieve their goals …
Thank You
Indeed, health is a factory of intelligence and many other things🇮🇶
