Back in the days, people’s negative experiences with their mental health used to be treated with stigma. However, in recent years we are gradually becoming more open-minded with various topics that were used to be seen as controversial, fortunately normalizing discussions around people’s mental health. Anxiety attacks, depressive episodes - all of us are fighting internal battles within ourselves, and sometimes even one’s mind is the hardest place to find peace in. These types of ailments cannot be seen with the bare eyes – even if our day-to-day lives are disrupted we expect ourselves to deal with it each day, hoping to find some rest.

But the truth is, regardless of what each of us carries, having this kind of “baggage” does not make anyone less worthy of being seen. #You Matter: and for many reasons.

Eunice Orpilla leads us into the 4th episode of this season, “The Truth Behind Mental Health Disabilities”, with Mr. Richthofen De Jesus as our guest speaker. As with every episode, sit back, soothe your mind, grab your nearest coffee and relax!
