Depression - S1 - Ep.2
"Navigating the Depths of Depression and Anxiety" In this raw and introspective episode, I open up about the often misunderstood and stigmatized realities of depression and anxiety. Join me as we share personal stories, insights, and expert advice, shedding light on the complex nature of these mental health challenges. I discuss the day-to-day struggles, the impact on relationships, and the various coping mechanisms that have helped us along the way. My aim is to provide a safe space for listeners to feel understood, less alone, and equipped with knowledge to better manage their own experiences with depression and anxiety. Together, we explore the journey to healing and hope. Join me for a compassionate and enlightening conversation about these common yet often unspoken battles.
