Psychologist Dr. Nicholas McAfee, a member of the affiliate faculty at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, joins co-hosts Meagen Rosenthal, Ph.D, and Alexis Lee to explain the complexities of defining mental health and wellness, highlighting how stigma plays into discussions about mental health. Dr. McAfee notes the positive shift in younger generations with mental health, in which discussing feelings and seeking help is more normalized.
