Depression - A journey of self healing...

Lecture 1 is about, Yacoub Abrahams, my dear friend making a bold move and asking for help publicly - hopefully through this course we can help others (God-willing)

Please share and hopefully it can reach people who needs to hear this...

We did not expect such an overwhelming response from the community on our initial #Depression video - as promised here is Lecture 2 with Ridhwaan Harnaker - Life Coach.

Ridhwaan coaches and provides consulting services to C-Level executives of Small and Medium enterprises; developing bespoke interventions to refine systems, boost productivity, and increase profitability. His workshops on personal growth and business development, have been delivered at tertiary level for the MBA Program at Tshwane University of Technology’s Business School, in Pretoria (South Africa)

Ridhwaan also runs The Coach Incubator - A Life Coach Training Program aimed at offering affordable world class training. His vision is to make high quality Life Coaching accessible to those who need it. He appears regularly on radio, and runs short courses on Success, NLP, Relationships, and his specialty, Sex Addiction.

Lecture 3 we visit an Occupational Therapist working in the mental health department (with a special focus on children) - Tasneem Dalwai

We remember her telling us about 9 or 10 year-old children in depression and thinking about suicide...

Lecture 4 with Dr Ranchod. Having been in practice for more than 20 years, Dr. Ranchod has a wealth of experience in dealing with a variety of conditions. His homeopathic experience has afforded him another toolset to assists his patients, giving them even more treatment options.

Homoeopathy recognises that symptoms often have their origins in immune system imbalances. So, when Dr. Ranchod develops a treatment plan, he not only considers the set of symptoms the patient presents with. He looks at their personality, characteristics, environment and their overall health and wellness. This allows for a more holistic treatment process.

Educating the patient about lifestyle changes is as important as medical treatment. Dr. Ranchod holds regular courses in homoeopathy, empowering patients to treat minor conditions themselves. If you are interested in attending one of these engaging courses, please do not hesitate to contact our offices.

We meet Mariam Salie a Clinical Psychologist in Lecture 5

Clinical psychology is an integration of science, theory and clinical knowledge for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically-based distress or dysfunction and to promote subjective well-being and personal development.

Central to its practice are psychological assessment, clinical formulation, and psychotherapy, although clinical psychologists also engage in research, teaching, consultation, forensic testimony, and program development and administration

We chat to Dr. Cheryl Daniel - Psychologist at Life St Vincent’s at Life Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Cape Town.

It is a 35-bed short-term stay mental healthcare facility, providing in-house treatment for voluntary mental healthcare users. The principal forms of therapy used at the clinic are crisis counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, life skills training and electro-convulsive therapy.

Focused treatment is provided for specific conditions, such as anxiety disorders and depression, with therapeutic programmes conducted in small groups. Monitoring the patient’s views on all aspects of the service keeps this facility up to date with patients’ needs and enables employees to provide them with the best possible service at all times.

Naeem Roopen shared his life story being on the streets and a drug addict in Cape Town, South Africa.
