On this week's episode of Conversations With A Therapist, I got to chat with Sylvia Atieno who is a chef, a painter and a musician. She told us about her experience with anxiety and depression, and how the support of a good psychiatrist, medication, family and friends has been a saving grace. Her message to all of us is: be kind. Listen and share widely. Let's #endthestigma of #mentalhealth!
If you are struggling with mental health challenges and would like to speak to a counselor for free, check out Redcross Kenya, they have a helpline.
In case you want to work with me, kindly send a DM on Facebook/Twitter, or email me safespacearena@gmail.com.
