Mind If I Join You?
This podcast has been organised and funded by Lundbeck and is intended for UK audiences.
Mind If I Join You? is a podcast series for anyone affected by mental health problems, whether through personal experience, professional life or helping loved ones living with conditions like anxiety or depression. Over the course of the series, Professor Green and psychologist Professor John Harrison cover a variety of topics: dealing with media overload, maintaining relationships, facing external pressures and the unexpected, asking for help and what life is like on the ‘other side’ when you’re managing a mental health condition.
Both Professor Green and Professor Harrison share their own experiences and advice on developing coping strategies, in the hope of encouraging people to recognise when they’re struggling and when to ask for help.
This podcast was recorded, and originally broadcast, in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
