Friends, in this episode of Beyond Podcast, I am opening up about my personal journey through mental health challenges in 2024, including my experience with major depression and high-functioning depression. I am sharing how I slowly got there, how I saw the signs…but didn’t and I am emphasizing the importance of seeking help. My hope is that my story will shed light on the often-overlooked aspects of mental health, particularly within the South Asian community, and my aim is to normalize struggles, raise awareness, and break the stigma around these issues.
