On the back of R U OK day, the boys get together to chat all things mental health in light of World Mental Health Day on October 10th- a day for mental health education, awareness and advocacy. In this episode of the DeakHeads podcast, Sean openly shares his experiences with depression in the hopes that it might help someone struggling through similar circumstances
Hearing others be open about their own mental health was one of the drivers in Sean speaking up and sourcing some help for his struggles. Speaking up is only a small part of the process and there are many moving parts when dealing with mental ill-health within yourself or those you love.
Sean also touches on some strategies that help his mental health, as well as the steps he took to reach out and get help. While these are specific to Sean's circumstances, we hope that you might gain something beneficial as well. Going about this alone is bloody tough and the more help you can get or stories you can hear the better
We really hope you gain something meaningful from this conversation, and as always if you are struggling, please reach out to a friend, family member, mentor, or even us - our inbox is always open!
Highlights:
- Sean's mental health journey to date
- Why it's so important to be open about mental ill-health
- Why going it alone doesn't work
- Strategies to get on top of your mental health
- How to support a loved one that isn't OK
- Steps to take if you are struggling
