In recognition of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, I sit down with Berrak Sarikaya, a Turkish Immigrant, and discuss her experiences with mental illness through the lens of another culture. We discuss the difficulties of fitting in, schizophrenia, the impact not seeking treatment has on others, and more.

OFM S1 E14: Minority Mental Health Awareness Month Special w/ Berrak Sarikaya, Solopreneur

OFM is a raw look at mental illness from people who suffer to understand how it impacts the lives of people who are just like you. The show has evolved over time and with two queer co-hosts, one of whom is transgender, the show has started to look more often at how the queer community is impacted by the topic. 

As we work to change society's understanding of these illnesses, we hope to show that we are defined by more than the illnesses we have to live with. Then, together, we can #EndTheStigma and help others find the comfort, and the help, they need.
