Mustafa Dogramaçi
About this episode

In this podcast episode, we delve into the often-taboo topic of mental health in the Arab world with Karim Saad, specifically focusing on how childhood experiences contribute to unresolved issues. We explore the cultural dynamics that surround mental health in Arab societies and the impact of these taboos on individuals' well-being. Through personal narratives, we aim to break the silence surrounding mental health, promoting understanding and compassion for those struggling with unresolved issues in the Arab community. This topic is becoming less and less of a taboo thanks to the new generation and being more open about it.
