This week on Mental Health Bytes, hosts Dr. Aninda Sidhana and RAH (Mr. Trauma Talks) sit down with the remarkable Ishaa Vinod Chopra — author, artist, and mental health advocate whose journey is a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

As the author of Finding Order in Disorder, Ishaa opens her heart about living with bipolar disorder, surviving domestic abuse, and discovering profound healing through art therapy. Through dance, painting, yoga, and her evocative “Mad Poetry,” she shows how creativity can transform pain into power — and suffering into self-discovery.

Founder of the Finding Order in Disorder NGO, Ishaa leads initiatives that combine therapeutic arts, digital storytelling, and community advocacy to give survivors a voice and a safe space to heal. Her story reminds us that recovery may not be linear, but it is always possible when compassion meets courage.

This deeply moving conversation dives into resilience, trauma, and the power of creative healing — a reminder that even in our darkest moments, expression can be the light that leads us home.

✨ “When we dance with our pain, we choreograph our healing.” — Ishaa Vinod Chopra
