In this episode of "Bipolar Talk" 🎙️, we have the immense pleasure of welcoming Ananya Banerjee, a young mental health activist, psychology student, and poet. Ananya shares her inspiring journey from India to Australia and her fight to destigmatize mental health conditions through education and advocacy.

Together, we explore her lived experience with depression, which she was diagnosed with at 18. Ananya offers a powerful insight: the opposite of depression is not happiness; it is expression. She explains how self-expression, psychoeducation, and social support are crucial tools for regaining control and moving forward on the path to healing 🌟.

This episode is a true source of hope for anyone looking to better understand depression and discover the power of vulnerability 💡. Ananya provides an authentic and courageous look at the challenges of mental health, emphasizing the importance of expression in all its forms, from talking to poetry , to heal and help others 🌱.

I invite you to listen to this deep conversation to discover how sharing your story can not only save yourself but also light the way for others 🌍.
