Good News Mental Health with Dr. Uejin Kim, MD

Dr. Uejin Kim

Growing up in a Christian and immigrant household, I had many unanswered questions and unmet mental and emotional needs. I was agnostic for a few years before I began my faith journey at 17 years old. As I got training in psychiatry, I realized there was little to no mention of spirituality. I am learning how faith and spiritual perspective work well with mental and emotional health journey. I want to share that with you so we can all grow together.

In this episode, we are going to break down Trauma. 60% of men and 50% of women have had at least one traumatic experience in their lives. 1 in 7 children have experienced abuse or neglect last year. So I know this episode will hit home with a lot of you guys. It affects everybody, not only just the victim but the perpetrator and the families and friends involved. But I want to kind of focus on trauma. And I want to explain trauma in a way that maybe is unexplored. Because it really hints at the spiritual question of what do I deserve. Did I deserve this? Did I deserve such an evil thing in my life? We're going to break down trauma into components that really point to the spiritual significance of traumatic events.

Good News Mental Health with Dr. Uejin Kim, MD - Suicide: Why we are all at risk and What we can do about it (ft. Gillian Rodriguez)
play

12/22/22 • 48 min

This episode was supposed to be launched in early 2023 but I thought it was fitting to release it early due to another loss of a public figure due to suicide. As a mental health provider, sometimes stories and cases confuse me and throw me off. Why? How? What? Psychiatrists, more than other medical field physicians, are supposed to be more familiar with and an expert at understanding suicide. But, the more training I get, the more I am aware of what I don't know... but I want the listeners to know what I at least know.
In this episode, I have a guest who is very familiar with death and suicide, Gillian Rodriguez, a therapist who specializes in prevention, intervention, and postvention of suicide. She and I have a conversation as human beings trying to understand the intricacies, depth, and darkness of suicide. We will also talk about perspectives and sources of hope for people who are wondering if suicide is the solution to their life's pain... and those around them who love them.
If you are wondering and considering suicide, please reach out to help. 9-8-8. You matter.

02/08/24 • 4 min

My first meeting with a financial advisor was an earthquake. I was stunned and discouraged at the consequences of my past/current choices. However, the numerical and clear goal provided comforting guidance for my future choices.
Now, I view myself as a mental health "retirement" advisor. I can look at your past and current habits and see if it is giving you the best "return on investment" for you. This "end goal" perspective of your life can guide you in your mental health journey. With this perspective, what would you change in your current habits or choices?

Good News Mental Health with Dr. Uejin Kim, MD - Mental Health Hacks: Dump List (for forgetful, tired, overwhelmed brains)
play

02/01/24 • 4 min

I am starting an easy-peasy short episode series called Mental Health Hacks! I use these insights or tips and suggest them to my patients. I hope you find them helpful!
Dump list is a great hack for people (like me) who can't keep the to-do list straight... and the brain reminds me ALL the time, EVERY time... especially when I lay down to sleep. When my body is not busy, my brain gets busy.
Our brain reminds us so we don't forget but we can forget more things because our brain is not present/doing things/processing things. Dump list is a great way to increase accountability and mental efficiency.
