S1 E14: Mental Illnesses Get Real With Us
-
- Society & Culture
What even is a mental illness? To begin with, you shouldn't be afraid of people with them. Their brains are just wired differently to your average one. They are a wide range of conditions that affect mood, thinking, and behavior. Some include: Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCDs, EDs, and so many more.
There are common ones and uncommon ones, all affecting everyone differently. Sometimes life as a teenager is already difficult enough, but when another weight is added to our problems, how do we as a society react?
Listen in on this week's episode, with your hosts: Paola and Dani—where they talk about the different mental illnesses people, including teens and young adults, struggle with. From experiences with some themselves, friends they're close to, and the many ways the media incorrectly portrays them. Keeping things real through it all with each other, and you as the audience.
Note: This episode has a trigger warning. There are topics the hosts touch upon that may be triggering to some viewers.
