Pt 1: Can Medication “Fix You”? | Psychiatrist Dr Benji Waterhouse

The Adam Kay of mental healthcare, Dr Benji Waterhouse is a front-line NHS doctor specialising in psychiatry, as well as an award-winning stand-up comedian. In this episode, he opens the doors to the psychiatric ward and shares if you need to be “mad” to work there.  In part 1, Benji explains how humour makes difficult topics easier to talk about, why his own unhappy home life inspired his career in psychiatry and he discusses whether medication can fix mental illness.  Follow <a href="https://www.instagram.com/doctor_benjis/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@doctor_benjis</a> and get his book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1787333175" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘You Don’t Have to be Mad to Work Here’</a> Follow the podcast on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thestompcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@thestompcast</a> To improve your mental fitness, get Dr Alex’s book <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mind-Manual-BESTSELLER-Fitness-Everyone/dp/1783254904" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Mind Manual</a> <a href="https://bemettle.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Download Mettle</a>: the mental fitness app for men Hosted on Acast.
