Mental Health Talk: Recent Episodes
Psyched 4 Life
I break down the barrier surrounding mental health talk by having genuine conversations with guests about their mental health experiences and disorders
Today's guest features an athletic friend who has been committed to sports her whole life. It's all the more heartbreaking to hear about her story of 3 types of eating disorders: anorexia, orthorexia and binge eating. She's incredibly strong as she shares her triggers, potential causes and her recovery journey. In the last segment we have a Q+A from the community!
We talk about how challenging uni life is for our mental health - social exclusion, loneliness on campus, battling with insecurities with the future, as well as low points and calling a helpline. Towards the end, we discuss about the string of suicides on campus that aren't being reported widely by media.
A victim of childhood abuse and sexual assault in adulthood comes on to the show to talk about her lowest point, things she's learned and her recovery journey. We talk about dissociation, depersonalisation, derealisation, anxiety, depression and PTSD.
