Med Conceptions: Episode 2 – Talk with Dr. Andreas Anastasiou about Relationships, Mental Health & Social Media

Our Second Podcast with Psychologist Andreas Anastasiou has just aired.

Relationships, Mental Health & Social Media -Dr Andreas Anastasiou
Med Conceptions Full Podcast #2

You can also listen to the full episode on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, and our website (https://medconceptions.buzzsprout.com/)

In this episode, we talk about building lasting relationships, maintaining mental health amidst a pandemic and fighting social media addiction. Dr Andreas Anastasiou also gives us an insight into what a career in psychology entails and answers the question ‘why divorce rates are so high?’. Dr Andreas Anastasiou has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He has worked as a psychologist in several settings in the United States including a Veteran’s Affairs hospital, counseling centers, and state agencies. As Associate Professor at Mary Baldwin University in Virginia, USA, he served as chair of the psychology department for four years. He repatriated to Cyprus six years ago and, since then, has been an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Nicosia, where he also served as Chair of the Social Sciences Department. He has served as Board member of the Cyprus Psychological Association. In addition, Andreas maintains a private practice in counseling psychology. His research focuses on gender differences in the communication of empathy, conflict resolution, and multicultural issues.
