Anyone struggling with feelings of depression, or anxiety such as excessive worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, or obsessions and compulsions, should reach out to NHS Talking Therapies on nhs.uk/talk.
In this episode, I’m joined by Dr Chinny from NHS Talking Therapies. For #ChitChatWithMo we discuss all things mental health, mental health struggles within the Black community and how NHS Talking Therapies combats these. We also current favourite things in #BestIn and life gems in our #MoLifeGems segment. Enjoy!
