Dr. Mark Cross - The Anxious Shrink BRAVE JOURNEYS with TAMMI FARADAY
-
- Mental Health
Doctor Mark Cross has worked in psychiatry for three decades and specialises in treating young people, complex PTSD, women’s mental health & anxiety disorders.
Mark’s also a senior Lecturer at the University of NSW & a conjoint lecturer at Western Sydney University. He sits on the Board of SANE AUSTRALIA - whose mission is to improve the health of those living with complex mental health issues, as well as reducing stigma & in 2015, Mark received the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists NSW Branch Meritorious Service Award for his “significant contribution” to psychiatry.
And if that’s not enough of a professional pedigree, Mark was the lead psychiatrist on the ground-breaking series Changing Minds for the ABC - that followed patients in the locked ward of the Mental Health Unit of Liverpool Hospital.
Mark’s fundamental message is that mental illness is exactly that, an illness, not a character defect. He wants us all to be unafraid to speak about how we are REALLY doing.
Oh, and did I forget to mention – he’s also lived with anxiety all his life and refers to himself as the “anxious shrink”.
How could he NOT be a guest on Brave Journeys??? Free therapy for me!!! Woo Hoo!!!
This is Mark’s story…
