47: Living With Mental Illness: A Day In The Life & Strategies To Cope with Karyn Inder

This coming week, your newsfeeds will be filled with conversations around mental health and mental illness in honour of #BellLetsTalk day. I look forward to this week and how it helps to destigmatize mental illness and supporting mental health as a whole, but the conversation can’t stop here.

My hope is that after listening to this episode with mental health advocate, Karyn Inder, you’ll be able to see and understand that anyone can be affected by mental illness. We need to continue talking about it openly in order to ensure people are getting the care they need and not going untreated.

Listen to the episode on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and/or Stitcher.

In this episode we discuss: 

• Karyn’s challenges with mental illness, including bipolar, anxiety and depression

• The relief that can come with a mental illness diagnosis

• Seeing and treating mental health and physical health in the same light

• Talking about mental health with your partner, or in a relationship

• Talking about mental health with your employer

• Karyn’s strategies to support her mental health daily 

• A day in the list of someone struggling with mental health 

• How to support someone in your life who is struggling with mental illness
