Mental Health in the Brown Community
Episode 12
Tuesday, 1 September, 2020

Many South Asians rush to treat physical pains but brush off emotional ones. In this episode, the ladies invite Kulpreet Singh, the founder of the South Asian Mental Health Alliance (SAMHA), who explains why we're not immune to things like clinical depression. Diagnosed with ADHD, Singh learned that he faced limitations others around him didn't. And yet, people didn't take his condition seriously. He explains what mental health issues South Asians are more prone to and how Indians often dismiss problems of the mind while our religions focus on them. He then delves into how to help a loved one with these problems and how to raise kids who handle difficulties in a healthy way.
