Episode 54
Have you experienced mental health challenges or been diagnosed with a mental illness? You are not alone—I have as well! In Western society, we often take a very black-and-white, boxed approach when it comes to mental illness, and there are many challenges with that. In this week’s episode of Live Brighter With Tara, join me as I talk about the many factors that affect our mental health that are not often discussed, and how we can move past our diagnoses to improve our mind management and overall health.
