I sat down with a licensed psychotherapist to dive deep into the critical conversation around mental health and the stigma that often surrounds it. We explore the challenges people face in seeking help, the impact of societal perceptions on mental well-being, and practical strategies for breaking down the barriers to open dialogue.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about suicide, which may be distressing to some listeners. Please listen with care.
