#WomenUnlocked: A mental health check-in with Dr Khanyile
Loading player...
If we are being honest many of us are struggling with our mental wellbeing. The COVID-19 pandemic has been destructive in many ways, one of the more obvious has been the economic devastation.
Thousands of people have lost their jobs whether it was through forced retrenchments by companies or a lack of demand for their services rendered. One cannot put into words the absolute desperation that has not only plighted our already struggling economy in South Africa but the world in general.
Once the pair peels off what is surface level, they reveal the heightened feelings of uncertainty, unrest, loneliness, depression that they have been going through. In efforts to not only raise awareness on mental health and being vulnerable with KZN, the two wanted to encourage a safe space for the listeners to share their struggles, reminding them that they are not alone and that there is help should they need.
To do this, Stacey and JSbu called on Dr Khanyile, a full-time medical officer that's passionate about mental matters. Dr Khanyile also happens to be the Vice President of a platform that encourages the conversations related to mental health called Mental Matters (link the Instagram page of Mental Matters)
In an interview with Stacey, Dr Khanyile gave Stacey insights into what her first-hand experience as a medical practitioner has been of the devastating effects of COVID-19 that go beyond physical injuries. The two ladies also reflect on the state of their own mental wellbeing.
