    S3E18 - Update + Illustrating Bipolar, with Matt Ottley (Re-Run)
    Mar 11 2026
    Hello everyone, it’s Will here.

    As you know, Ellie and I have had to take a break from the podcast due to some ongoing health issues. We are still hoping to bring you new episodes in late Spring or Summer 2026 but in the meantime, we thought we’d go back through our archives and bring you some of our favourite episodes from the 3 years we’ve been doing the show.

    And so, here is an episode from May 2024. Matt Ottley is a multi-award winning graphic novelist and composer, who was Australia’s nominee for the Hans Christian Andersen award. Matt joined us for a conversation about how he interprets his experiences of bipolar and psychosis through art, words and music. We focus on his book: The Tree of Ecstasy and Unbearable Sadness which had just been released at the time and you can find links to more information about, in the show notes.

    Just a heads up that there is a brief reference to a suicide attempt in the episode, but we don’t go into any detail.

    I hope you enjoy the show, and please do remember it would really help us out if you could rate or review us via your podcast app.

    See you in 2026!
    Dec 14 2025
    Hello everyone, it’s Ellie here.
    Thank you so much to all of you for following our podcast over the last few years. It has meant the world to us, and we’ve loved every part of the podcasting process so far.
    Unfortunately, due to various health issues, we are going to take a slightly-longer-than-planned break from recording new Lively Minds episodes. We hope to return to your ears for a new season sometime in 2026.
    Thank you again to everyone who has listened, subscribed, downloaded and donated to us so far - we are looking forward to picking things up again with you when we can.
    In the meantime, Will and I both wish you all a safe and warm winter, and we look forward to reconnecting with you when we are able to.
    Bye for now!

    S3E17 - Putting a patient-centred approach into practice, with Dr Alex Curmi
    Nov 7 2025
    What is a 'patient-centred approach'? What systemic challenges get in the way of making it a reality?What does the biopsychosocial model tell us about how to choose the best pathways for treatment?

    Alex Curmi, a consultant psychiatrist and trainee psychotherapist from The Thinking Mind Podcast discusses how he helps clients determine the best treatment plans based on a multitude of factors.

    He elaborates on his diverse experiences across various mental health settings and the importance of recognising biological, psychological, and social inputs in mental health. He also touches on the challenges and methodologies involved in acute and planned mental health interventions, patient-centred care, and the role of systemic integration in improving outcomes.

    The conversation highlights the need for a holistic, collaborative, and anti-tribalistic approach in mental health practice.
