Pooja Mehta has dealt with severe panic attacks and, when she was younger, voices in her head that were intensely negative. It was scary, but her parents were supportive and got her help. The reception in her cultural community was a little more complicated and difficult. She tells Dr. Ken Duckworth, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer, about those situations, as well as her experience starting a NAMI chapter at her university, which quickly became the largest student organization on campus. Pooja also discusses the unexpected death by suicide of her brother.
This conversation was part of Dr. Duckworth’s research for the book, You Are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health--With Advice from Experts and Wisdom from Real People and Families. Hear more episodes of this and other podcasts and nami.org/podcast.
