Mental health issues are a part of many of our Nepali lives, whether you’re at home or abroad. So many of us have dealt with mental and emotional distress in our lives. Yet so few of us feel comfortable or even safe talking about it out loud. On this episode, our producer Parichaya sits down with Shantanu for a candid discussion on mental health and Shantanu’s own experiences with mental distress, attempting to take his own life, and how he’s coped and grown since. Through this conversation, we shed light on how distress can look different for everyone, how the Nepali society responds to it, and what are some tips and tools to coping with all the forms it takes.
