Getting Real About Mental Health

Mental health is such an important topic that doesn’t get the attention it truly needs.

We often hear the word depression used loosely in conversations and sometimes even without knowing what it really, truly means. Any mental health disorder such as depression shouldn’t be minimalized or talked about lightly. But the reality is, many people find it uncomfortable to discuss it with others, most especially with medical practitioners.

In today’s episode, my good friends Stefanie, Angie and I tackle the under-discussed subject of mental health. We share our personal experiences with mental health as well as our thoughts and views about being properly diagnosed, labelling and minimalizing mental health, getting help and so much more.

Awareness is the first step above everything else. If you suspect that you or someone you know has a mental health problem, please take time to listen to this episode to learn more about it.
