Rama I: From Syria to the US, Battling Depression and Finding Hope

I want to tell my story so people can relate, and I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Imagine moving across three different continents before the age of 30, each time feeling like an outsider. In this heartfelt episode of 'Mental Illness Happy Hour', Paul Gilmartin sits down with Rama I, a 28-year-old Syrian woman who has lived in Syria, Brazil, and now the United States. Rama opens up about her lifelong struggle of always being the minority, dealing with the trauma of sexual abuse, and her ongoing battles with depression and anxiety.
Her story is a poignant reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the power of seeking help. Paul and Rama also delve into the bigotry against Arabs and the complexities of maintaining relationships amidst such challenges. If you're looking for a deeply moving narrative that offers both inspiration and a sense of community, this episode is a must-listen.
