Crushing Depression Myths!

In this conversation, I interview psychiatrist, and my friend, Dr. Rhonda Williams about mental health and the importance of seeking help. We discuss the balance between physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and the need for connection and community. We also address common myths about depression and anxiety, such as the belief that it will just go away or that it is a character flaw. Dr. Rhonda emphasizes the importance of understanding that mental health disorders are medical disorders and that seeking help is not a sign of weakness.
