Meet the Perth Psychologist challenging the mental health care system in Australia

Did you know there are more than 250 types of mental health diagnoses?

Clinical Psychologist Dr Bill Saunders thinks in order to better treat mental health, we need to shed that large number, and start investigating mental health from a trauma-informed approach.

Dr Saunders believes what happened in your childhood, as opposed to what’s wrong with you, is the way forward to tackle what he’s calling a mental health crisis.

He’s detailed all that and more in his new book “What Happened? What Mental Health Is Really About.”

RTRFM Breakfast host Taylah Strano sat down with Dr Bill Saunders to find out more about book and plans to revolutionise mental health care.

If you, or someone you know, needs to talk about feelings this conversation may have stirred up the following services are available to you:
