Mental health is one of the most misunderstood — and most avoided — conversations in African communities. In this powerful episode of the Insight Zone Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Mariah Eze, DNP, PMHNP-BC, MHA, to unpack the stigma, silence, and cultural beliefs surrounding mental health in African and faith-based spaces.

We explore:

Why emotional pain is often dismissed in African homes
The difference between personality, burnout, anxiety, depression & ADHD
How faith and mental health can coexist — without shame
Early signs of mental health struggles we often ignore
The role of genetics, environment, hormones & lifestyle
Why seeking help is not weakness, but strength

This conversation is honest, clinical, compassionate, and deeply necessary.🔗 Connect with Dr. Mariah's work here:
