Depression, Doctors, and Meds: Navigating Mental Health as an Artist

In this Artist Journal episode, I dive deep into mental health, self-reflection, and personal growth. As an artist and highly sensitive empath, I explore topics like ADHD, OCD, and being neurodivergent, while sharing my experiences with therapy, medication, and managing depression. We discuss the importance of standing up for yourself in both personal and professional relationships, recognizing toxic behavior, and fostering healthy communication. I also touch on the topic of women's health, addressing drugs during pregnancy and a woman's right to choose. Mental health is a journey, and you're not broken. It's about learning how to take care of yourself and be your best self, even when you're on medication.
