The Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast is humbled to host Scott Shannon, MD on this week’s episode: Mental Health Mastery for Our Kiddos: Powerful tools to make the shift from struggle to success! Dr. Shannon, a “student of consciousness,” has published four books on holistic and integrative mental health including the first textbook for this field in 2001. Dr. Shannon is a past President of the American Holistic Medical Association and a past President of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. He lectures all over the world to professional groups interested in a deeper look at mental health issues and a paradigm shifting perspective about transformative care. On this week’s episode of Soul Purpose Leadership, Dr. Shannon gives us all the insider info and practical tips on how to help the next generation - and ourselves - break free of mental health trappings. And there’s a dire need for it, too - devastatingly, suicide rates have increased by 30% in the pediatric population over the last 2 decades. “When I went into medicine and psychiatry 30-some years ago, pediatric depression was a rare event… now, we expect that 25% of children at this time will experience severe, significant depression by the time they reach adulthood,” Dr. Shannon says. Not-so-fun fact: According to the World Health Organization, depression is slated to become the number one disabling issue worldwide in the next few years. Why? How is this the reality that’s being passed on to our children, and what we can do about it? Tune in and take notes as Dr. Shannon shares not only valuable, but truly practical information that can be implemented right now.
