It is challenging enough to go through a union when people come from different cultural and religious backgrounds. And when you introduce mental illness to this mix, commitment takes a whole different meaning.
Stress triggers mental traumas leading to breakdowns which can happen at any age. Mental illness or wellness is not a topic given much attention in Indian culture. It's a taboo subject and rarely do people want to discuss or associate with it. If we want healthy and flourishing society, we need to accept all of human - physical and mental challenges. It is our responsibility as humans to build a community that is strong and one way for a community to be strong is by acknowledging and loving the whole human.
Erin and Keith are working through their challenges. As you will hear, it is important for Erin and Keith to normalize the discussion of mental health so we can move into helping those who are suffering in silence.
Erin is an award winning author and you can find her recent book, Mental Health Strong, informative as well as a great guide to anyone who needs guidance in finding a path to accepting himself/herself and healing.
