In this episode of Embrace Mental Health, we jump back into our Stranger Things series, diving in to Seasons 3 and 4 and how trauma, grief, depression, and stigma show up in some of the show’s most complex characters.

From Hopper's unprocessed grief, to the cycle of abuse in Billy’s storyline, how untreated pain can be exploited, both internally and externally, to Vecna as a strong metaphor for how depression often attacks. And finally, to the iconic “Running Up That Hill” scene as a metaphor for finding the things in your life that make you decide to fight back and run when it seems like the mental illness might win. Whether you've watched this show or not, there is something in this episode for you. Here’s to finding your own "Running Up That Hill" connections, even when you feel trapped in your own Upside Downs.
