Why Are We In A Mental Health Crisis & The New Direction For Catalyst For Healing

In this episode of the Catalyst for Healing podcast, Maria and her guests dive deep into the ongoing mental health crisis, exploring the root causes behind rising rates of depression, social isolation, and emotional overwhelm. From cultural pressures and the impact of social media to disconnection and lack of community support, the conversation shines a light on what’s missing, and what’s possible.

Through honest dialogue and personal insight, the episode highlights the urgent need for systemic change in mental health treatment and the importance of rediscovering authenticity and identity in a world that often encourages masks. You’ll hear how transformative experiences—including psychedelic therapy, mindfulness, and even ketamine therapy—can shift perspectives and support long-term healing.

Whether you're seeking new ways to understand how to treat depression, exploring therapy for mental health, or simply trying to navigate your own journey, this mental health podcast offers compassionate, grounded insight and encouragement to take small, powerful steps forward.
