1.14 South Asian Mental Health: Why Are We So Damn Tired? ft. Nancy Bahl, PhD

To wrap up Dear Brown Girls' first season, we decided to try to answer the question that's been haunting us all along- why are we (brown girls all over the world) so damn tired? To answer this question we had the opportunity to chat with Nancy Bahl, a PhD candidate in clinical psychology and general brown girl extraordinaire. Nancy breaks down why mental health issues are rampant in our culture, the unhealthy behaviors that are normalized in our communities, and how they manifest and affect us deep into adulthood. Thankfully, Nancy doesn't just leave us hanging in the dark realms of our unconscious, and shares her toolbox of strategies you can try at home, as well as how best to look for a practitioner that fits you.
