Do we need a new publication on mental health in Medium? A lot of mental health content on Medium — and on the internet in general — comes from people with personal experience of mental health problems. People’s accounts are truthful, profound and often touching ways for a reader to familiarise with the complexity of mental health, and to start a conversation on it. InSPIre the Mind will bring a different perspective: the point of view of a group of clinicians and researchers working in mental health. In this new publication, we want to complement people’s accounts by discussing the clinical and the scientific evidence underpinning these personal experiences, while also sharing with the readers our research, our clinical work, and or our cultural and societal considerations. We are the members of the Stress, Psychiatry and Immunology (SPI) Lab at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, at King’ College London, and these are our stories. — Carmine Pariante and the InSPIre the Mind team.
