Ever feel like you can’t turn your brain off?Or maybe you want to understand why someone in your life seems to ‘over-think’? In this episode of Get Psyched you’ll be introduced to four young people who talk about what it felt like when they couldn’t turn their brains off and what sorts of thoughts were running around in there! You’ll then find out why our brains do this as three different clinicians help us understand why all of us can sometimes get stuck on that mental ‘round-a-bout’. Plus, you'll get some useful thing things to do and say to support yourself and others.
Here are some handy links and resources for more information or for individual advice.

This is mental health info you won't forget. It's for or anyone who hangs out with young people and wants to help out with their mental health. Created by Headspace Launceston, it's real stories from young people who talk about the real stuff (and the 'feels' stuff) and whack that next to the 'deal' stuff from mental health clinicians who help us make sense of mental health.
