In Episode 3 we go over the stigma surrounding mental health issues in Desi households with In This Together, a nonprofit based in New Jersey that strives to alleviate stress and raise awareness regarding mental health issues in adolescents. We discuss how mental illnesses can often go unchecked due to the lack of attention brought to them by family members who don’t understand what they are. We also talk about the increase in mental health issues in people as a result of the rise of COVID-19 and being in quarantine, and how we can address this problem by finding new ways to keep ourselves motivated and occupied during this difficult and trying time.
