Let's Talk Mental Health – How Do You Explain Depression To Someone Who May Not Get It?

In this week's episode I talk about mental health - how do you explain depression to someone who doesn’t get it?

I talk very openly about my mental health journey but it’s still something I still really struggle with. It affects my life, business, and friendships - although I have found great ways through it, I do understand that there are still many sceptics out there and also people that don’t always know the warning signs. I also understand how hard it is to reach out for help when you spiral so with the cost of living crisis amongst coming out of the trauma of a global pandemic, I thought it would be good to highlight a blog I wrote during the pandemic where I had many amazing people on Twitter contribute.


I hope you enjoy!
