Parenting & Mental Health: Addressing Root Causes with Dr. Ardeshir Mehran

April 09, 2025 • Dr Tomi Mitchell • Season 15 • Episode 9

Mental health struggles like anxiety, depression, and ADHD don’t appear out of nowhere—they often stem from deeper, unresolved emotional needs. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with psychologist and leadership coach Dr. Ardeshir Mehran to explore the critical role of emotional connection in mental well-being. We discuss how parents can shift their approach from managing symptoms to fostering true healing by addressing their own emotional health and creating a supportive environment for their children.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

● Why anxiety, depression, and ADHD often stem from deeper emotional disconnection within family dynamics and how to approach healing holistically

● How a parent’s emotional well-being, self-awareness, and ability to regulate emotions directly impact a child’s mental health

● The seven emotional rights essential for fulfillment and how to nurture emotional intelligence, connection, and psychological safety in children

● Why traditional therapy and medication alone may not be the solution and how alternative and integrative approaches can support long-term healing

● Practical steps parents can take today to embrace mindful parenting, strengthen communication, and build resilience in their children

Dr. Ardeshir Mehran is a distinguished psychologist, researcher, and leadership coach specializing in emotional wellness. After years of working with high-achieving professionals, he shifted his focus to helping families address the underlying emotional patterns affecting their children’s mental health.

Through his groundbreaking work on “emotional rights,” he offers science-backed strategies that empower parents to nurture resilience, deepen connections, and support lasting emotional well-being within their families.

Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, and Dr. Ardeshir Mehran for an enlightening conversation on the power of emotional connection and how parents can transform their family’s mental health from the inside out.
