New series of popular Medihelp mental health talk show returns to kykNET

The second series of the popular kykNET talk show “’n Lewe met” kicks off on 18 October 2011, with the first of 13 new episodes that tell the true stories of people who lives with various mental health conditions every day.

As with the first series, a guest will be in studio every week to share their personal experiences of a specific condition with the viewers and the programme anchor, Ruda Landman. Landman will be assisted by Dr Franco Colin, who will discuss each condition from a clinical perspective – including the effect it has on family and friends.

The program’s approach is based on Medihelp medical scheme’s DVD series entitled “Living with”. This series looks at conditions such as bipolar mood disorder, panic disorder and alcoholism, among others.
