Growing up, the conversation around mental health in Anastasia Vlasova’s home was simple: “Get over it. It's all in your head. Relax.” But in 7th grade, family financial hardships, social isolation, and a newfound self-consciousness about her body lead Anastasia down a dark spiral of anxiety, depression, and eventually an eating disorder. Hear how she built up the courage to ask for help, how she’s doing now, and how she’s using her story to speak out against mental health stigma. “If there's one thing you take away from this episode, it's definitely to reach out for help.”
