- Grief and Mental Health Breakdown: How Loss Impacts the Mind (#138)
What happens when grief pushes your mental health to the breaking point? Meghan Riordan Jarvis, a psychotherapist and grief expert, opens up about the devastating impact of losing both her father and mother in quick succession—and how it sent her into a spiral of deteriorating mental health.
In this episode of DEAD Talks, Meghan shares her raw story of breakdown and recovery, revealing the therapeutic tools that helped her rebuild from the same struggles she now helps clients face. We explore the intersection of grief, trauma, and mental health—how loss can manifest in anxiety, depression, and even physical symptoms—and what it really takes to heal.
