Transcripts
abely going a little deeper now back to
mental health which is where this this
episode's going to be in that module um
mental health is Health uh there's so
much stigma today with someone who says
they are working on their mental health
versus someone who says they're going to
work out at the gym when we started a
chat said I work out every morning if
some if You' have said uh I'm I work on
my mental health every morning it has a
different tone to it a different
reaction we're not as open about talking
about our diet our mental diet as we are
our physical diet uh our our stress is
the enemy stress is the enemy in my
world how important is it that we track
our mental diet of what goes in and how
it works in our
minds well so I would have two answers
to that question um I think the way you
mean it is paying attention to uh to
what we expose ourselves to in order to
protect our mental health uh so that
could include Stress Management it could
also include uh honestly for me um I'm
careful about what kind of movies and
shows I watch um I've grown out of
horror movies and psychological
thrillers because um I need something
that actually helps me feel calm and
peaceful um in order to have the energy
and strength I need to to do my day job
so um I think it's important that people
pay attention to that I had a young man
years ago in mental health court and he
had a Non-Stop diet of of zombie movies
and violent video games and and you know
it took me a while to persuade him that
his really severe anxiety disorder was
not being helped by those I also want to
talk about diet diet we know and I'll
use the anxi anxiety example anxiety is
a disorder that is real I'm a firm
believer I think it perhaps gets
misdiagnosed and and sometimes
overmedicated
but rates of incidents are going way up
on anxiety and your students um are part
of a generation that's done so much to
dial down stigma on mental illness they
are also and this is maybe two sides of
the same coin they are experiencing
mental health disorders at a much higher
rate than my age group did um being
careful about not only what images and
and experience they expose themselves to
but also food if they are starting their
day off as most college kids do with a
monster or a rock star or two or three
of them they are putting gasoline on
that anxiety disorder fire um certain
foods believe it or not are really bad
for persons battling anxiety they're
also can be bad for depression they also
can be bad for ADHD type disorders um
we've learned a lot about that and I try
not to be too preachy about it but I
myself am very careful about what I take
in um and I do try gently to support not
only uh the clients we serve but also
the team members um in uh taking care of
themselves take a walk uh after dinner
or before breakfast um try to cut back
on the rock stars try to stay away from
really sugary stuff or fried stuff try
to eat some plants in their whole
original condition um not super
processed stuff but it is um It's Tricky
but it is critical to understand that
for a lot of the folks particularly in
mental health court um they what they
eat is every bit as important as keeping
up with their medication regimen in
terms of trying to help support their
recovery and their Wellness so yeah
there's a there's a lot to work with in
what your your question called to mind
you mentioned our this generation is uh
kind of knock the door off the hinges
when it comes to talking about mental
health thank you I mentioned mental
health briefly in one of my earlier
lectures in in in the class module two
or three involving use of force and
objective reasonableness and um I was I
had so many comments of Praise that I'm
talking about mental health and that
kind of like oh I need to there's an
entire module of mental health entire
week where we're going to talk about
mental health and how it impacts
criminal justice today because whether
it was nobody grew up as a kid playing
tops Rob I want to go work with mental
health but it's the reality that that
we're here we're dealing with this and
we need to deal with it correctly and
that's why I'm so thankful for CIT and
that we talk about that in the module
and I know you've been through the
training with us and you're a big
supporter of that and that's big part of
why this community is so special um so
uh going to um now a big part of that
equation well hold on before I go that
is you mentioned the energy drinks I
don't drink my wife and I don't drink
any of that stuff I drink cup of coffee
the same coffee my grandpa's drank for
his entire life and he Liv
