About this listen
*Special 15 minute Episode* In this episode, we explore the journey of Dr. Nusrat Habib Rana into psychiatry, focusing on her dedication to addressing mental health challenges faced by women and girls in Punjab, Pakistan. Despite initial technical difficulties with the internet, Yathika Sivani Muthukrishnan was able to summarize this conversation, talking about the cultural stigmas and misdiagnoses that often hinder effective mental health care. Dr. Nusrat shares her innovative approaches, including the use of storytelling and theater, to help individuals express and manage their stresses. The discussion highlights the importance of advocacy and education in breaking down these barriers. We conclude with a hopeful note on the impact of youth-led initiatives in supporting mental health awareness and care.
