This week, we discuss our journeys with mental health and what it means to seek help when your culture doesn't acknowledge mental health issues.

We learn about Alex's struggles with connecting to therapists, Suhail's journals, and how coming to the UK changed Oz's views on openly talking about mental health.

This is an updated and remastered version of the second half of Episode 6 - you can still listen to the original episode online.
