What’s Missing in Our Pursuit of Happiness | Richa Bhatia | TEDxYeshivaUniversity

While we have the most modern technologies and inventions than ever before in the history of the world, research suggests that millions of people are struggling to feel happy or good, and we see bullying and abuse reaching epidemic proportions. Is pursuing perfection in every sphere of life actually helping us be happy? Through stories, Dr Richa Bhatia, psychiatrist and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, discusses how a lack of self-compassion maybe eroding away our core, and shares her vision for a future where compassion towards self and others paves the way for a happier world. Richa Bhatia, MD, FAPA is a dual Board Certified Child, Adolescent and Adult psychiatrist, serving as Medical Director of the Child and Adolescent OCD Institute at McLean Hospital and a faculty member in the department of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. Previously, she served as a faculty member, and acting Medical Director of the adult inpatient psychiatry units, at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. She has extensive clinical experience diagnosing and treating patients suffering from a wide range of psychiatric conditions, and has been recognized as a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association. In addition to her clinical interests, she is passionate about advocacy and improving public health awareness for optimal mental health and well-being.
