I am so fortunate to have been joined by my friend Ridhima, who is the founder of ‘Just another illness’.
We explore her story, her inspirations and challenges faced by South Asians when it comes to mental health.
There isn’t much to write as I loved the conversation, and feel that this forms the basis of the blog.
I would highly recommend following Ridhima‘s page-

Please also listen out to the resources she has mentioned. Please note that these resources are also on the ‘Just Another Illness‘ website!

I cannot emphasise how empowering it was to talk to Ridhima today, as well as the need to get help if you feel you need it. You are never alone!
