As a society, we're talking about mental health more, but how much do we understand it? Despite what pop culture says, there's no cookie-cutter approach to health and wellness. Which is why I strive to create informative, inclusive, and individualistic mental health content for readers—content that I wish I had during my own mental health journey.
