It’s all about mental health on this week’s episode. Shocked by another celebrity suicide being attributed to depression, we take a look into our own battles with depression and anxiety. We discuss our experiences, our failures, and our healthy as well as unhealthy coping mechanisms. The stigma in Indian society about mental wellness and awareness about mental disorders has colored both our childhoods full of judgement from family and strangers. We share our stories and some tips to manage your mental health influenced by our own struggles with it. We truly hope that this episode makes you feel less alone!
