Dr. Paul Conti

And that's not how we make people better.

Again, the proof, this isn't me making a projection that, oh, if we do this, it's not going to work.

I'm saying, here's the data in front of us.

We've done this and it doesn't work.

And we need to take an approach to it that is more simple.

Acknowledge, can we have mental health problems?

Yes.

Just like we can have physical health problems.

Depression, for example, is a neurochemical imbalance in us.

It's a health problem, right?

So those health problems are real, but it's how we conceive of them.

If we start saying, we want to help you understand yourself and build good mental health.

Now let's look at all the ways in which, for example, in your case, you're resilient, you're perseverant.

right?

You're able to bring health to yourself when the helping mechanisms are failing you.

We say there's a lot going right in you, right?

To be at the place that you're at.

Now, from that real and true perspective, we're also going to look at what's not the way you want it to be.

We're going to look right at that depression and we're going to help you get to the roots of it.

Now we're talking, right?
