MYM – Why do people stop taking medication?
The killing of six people by 40-year-old Joel Cauchi at Bondi Junction horrified the nation. Cauchi started taking medication for schizophrenia aged 17, but at some point stopped. Why do people stop taking medication that can help them control and recover from mental illness? When someone with a serious mental health condition loses contact with the health system, how can the health system be more active in trying to re-establish contact?

MYM - Gratitude

MYM – Social Media
Social media can be good (social connection, finding people with similar interests, learning new things) and it can be bad (addictive, bullying, people being mean, time-wasting). So, how do we get the good, and avoid the bad?
