The Importance of Furthering our Knowledge
- Sum of Life focuses entirely on Mental Health. The main goal here is to try to help put people in the right direction and for people to find the best help that they need. I focus a lot on anxiety and anxiety-related disorders, however, other mental illnesses such as depression, body dysmorphia, etc. are discussed.
- I mainly tend to critique 'Instagram-Therapy' accounts that I believe are spouting ideas I personally disagree with in regard to Mental Health. This is deeply important to me.
- If you care at all for Mental Health or bettering the conversations about Mental Health then this show is just for you. Please take a listen to one of my podcast episodes or follow me on Instagram @sumoflifeofficial!
