Awareness (Mental Health Series)

This is Part 1 of our Mental Health Series: In this episode, we share our opinions on mental health along with what we have researched. In Part 2 of this series, we will be bringing on a Therapist to help us dive deeper into Mental Illness and Depression. Today’s topic we are discussing something that is often taboo in most minority communities.  An unspoken subject even though so many of us suffer in silence…. mental illness or mental health disorder.  We bring awareness and speak of not only the signs and symptoms of someone you love or yourself suffering from a mental disorder. Topics Include - Mental Illness in pop culture (Kanye West, Tamar Braxton) to everyday people -How can we be more aware and understanding to people that may be going through a tough time? -What are our triggers that can cause depression? - Just a small act of kindness such as listening and being of service to a person can get someone suffering to open up We will also discuss how living in this "New Normal" with COVID can be a possible trigger for many different types of mental disorders such as situational depression. Now with the constant rapid overnight change, one's mental health is always tested. We have included a hotline that is a suicide prevention lifeline. 1-800-273-8255 Follow us on our social platforms IG: theunzippedpodcast FB: theunzipeedpodcast website: theunzipped.co
