Kea Tossavainen - Mental Health Awareness Week Share Your Story
-
- Society & Culture
Today's story is from Kea Tossavainen, from Finland. She talks about her experience of having Bipolar Disorder. She discusses her trigger, trying to gain control on her life, the support she has been given, her medication and making decisions that are good for her. I found my time with Kea very interesting, I came away from our meeting thinking a lot about the hormones in the contraceptive pill causing emotional instability within young women. Also, the idealisation and glorification of mental health that can be found on social media amongst young people. What are your thoughts on this? Get in touch via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Thanks for listening and we will be back with you tomorrow for another story!
