Navigating Mental Health as a First Generation Bangladeshi-American Ft. Tania

Psych: A Resident's Perspective Witnessing the mental health changes in my community growing up, I know how debilitating mental illness could be. Mental health is often stigmatized where people feel isolated, afraid to reach out for help. My podcast targets to raise general awareness of mental health. I want to address misconceptions about mental health and challenge the foundation on which these false beliefs are built. I want to reinforce the idea it's okay to not be okay and that mental health does not define a person. My name is Dr. Shawn Jacob. I received my undergraduate degree in Integrative Neuroscience, went on to attend medical school and am currently a first-year medicine resident. My podcast will give the listener a unique perspective from the lens of a resident physician as he goes through his rotations through residency.
