A short excerpt from a YouTube interview featuring Sir John Kirwan and another speaker discussing mental-health stigma and practical behavior-change ideas. Kirwan reflects on stigma around seeking help and introduces the idea of "habit stacking" (linking a new habit to an existing one), using examples like showering followed by coffee and the contrast between negative and positive habit stacks.

Insane, you know.
And so I think there's been a stigma where we.

I just said, oh, this is good. I'm going to. You know, the only, the only habit stacking on you was negative habit stacking. You know, when you have a glass of wine, you open a packet of chips. Yeah, I know that. That's negative. Have a stacking. Do you know anyone that actually puts a packet of chips back half full? Oh, come on. They're. They're. Yeah, there's something wrong with them if they're doing that.
