There is no health without mental health. Every 40 seconds, someone loses their life to suicide. So #LetsTalk (the Twitter hashtag to share stories and research and support on the social feed). Today is October 10th, World Mental Health Day. As we go about our lives today and truly every day, we should be mindful that mental health is all about each of us individually, and all of us in our communities and in the world.

Some people will look at this picture and see a duck. Some will see a rabbit. The trick is that both are correct. The difference is how you are oriented to the picture. This is exactly the same in healthcare; we must always ask ourselves “How am I oriented?” (The duck-rabbit drawing was first used by American psychologist Joseph Jastrow in 1899). At every moment of every healthcare interaction, there are two orientations at work: one of operationalizing experience and one of the personal experie
