Therapy is not just for people who are in a crisis. It's also a way to maintain your mental health, the same way you would go to the gym to maintain your physical health.
Imagine navigating the maze of mental health, only to find more barriers than solutions. That's the reality for many in the Black community, and it's the focus of this episode of 'Pennie For Your Thoughts'. Host Pennie Anassi is joined by Quachae Thomas, a licensed health professional, to tackle these pressing issues head-on. They dive into the disparities within the mental health system and offer practical advice on dealing with brain fog, Adult ADD, depression, and anxiety.
Quachae shares her insights on the fine line between insecurity and intuition, and how to manage co-dependency. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the impact of low testosterone on men's mental health and the role of therapy and medication in maintaining well-being. Plus, they highlight how figures in the hip hop community, like comedian Druski, are raising awareness about sustainability and climate change.
Whether you're struggling with mental health yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation is packed with valuable takeaways. Tune in for an honest, empathetic discussion that aims to break down the barriers and stigmas surrounding mental health in the Black community.
