Disasters don’t always happen in the headlines — but when they do, your mental health can be deeply affected. In this special World Mental Health Day 2025 episode, we’re diving into the psychological impact of catastrophes — from natural disasters and pandemics to personal emergencies that shake your life.
Join me, Dr. Amritha, as we explore:
• How catastrophes affect our mind, emotions, and communities
• Why access to mental health services during emergencies is crucial
• Barriers that prevent people from getting help when they need it most
• Practical tips and resources to protect your mental wellness and build resilience
Whether you’re a first responder, a caregiver, or just someone who wants to prepare mentally for life’s unexpected storms, this episode is a must-listen. Your mental health matters — and today, we’re giving it the attention it deserves.
