As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness month, in this week’s episode, Ektha and I discuss:
A holistic approach to mental well-being, incorporating the mind, body and spirit
The factors that affect mental health in South Asian women v non-South Asian women, and in men v women
Tips on how to get started with improving your mental well-being and how to get support
This was such an insightful conversation and I wish I knew about a holistic approach to mental well-being and the different treatment options available when I was looking for support before for my anxiety and seasonal depression. It’s conversations like this from passionate providers like Ektha that allow us all to learn and take steps towards the right way to support ourselves.
