    Summary

    This episode of Locked Up Living explores how two doctors from very different specialties, a psychiatrist and an obstetrician/paediatrician, came together to change the way we understand and approach mental health. Shivam Dubey and Salel Gupta share their unique journey, discussing the urgent need for preventive mental health care and the ground breaking MindSync curriculum they've developed for schools. They highlight the lack of emotional education in traditional healthcare and school systems, and reveal how their program brings evidence-based life skills, resilience training, and social-emotional learning directly to children and adults in India, Dubai, and the US.

    The discussion also takes a deep dive into the relationship between love, quantum theory, and mental well-being. Drawing from both Western science and Eastern philosophy, Dr Dubey and Dr Gupta examine how consciousness and compassion can reshape the way we think about health, learning, and adversity. If you're curious about holistic approaches to wellness, or how culture, spirituality, and modern medicine intersect in the quest for better mental health, this episode brings fresh insight and practical ideas for individuals, educators, and communities.
