About the Episode

In today’s episode of UNSILENT, we get to know Brittany, a writer and advocate living with mental health challenges including Borderline Personality Disorder and OCD . 📺 Watch at youtu.be/Wemz1TFDJTE and stream wherever you listen to podcasts. 🍎 🎧 apple.co/3RXFOwL. In this first part of our two-part conversation with Brittany, she opens up about living with these disorders and the impact they’ve had on her personal life. She also shares some of the specific challenges and experiences she’s had with these disorders, and notably, when she, in 2019, decided to voluntarily admit herself to seek treatment and recovery, and since then, has gone on to be a fierce mental health advocate. She also leaves us with some thoughts on ways that we can best advocate for the youth in our lives. We know these conversations are sometimes difficult to have, and we thank Brittany so much for putting her advocacy in action and opening up and sharing her life experiences with us.
