featured articleanother perspective by nabeeha islam"As someone who has been dealing with my own mental illnesses, I decided two years ago that I couldn’t handle my mental health by myself anymore. I was completely terrified at the idea of going to my Asian immigrant parents and telling them that their only child was dealing with all of these things they might have never even heard of before."
In her recent article, Nabeeha Islam details her personal struggles with mental health and gives some tips on how to approach your guardian when it comes to getting the professional help you need. |
