How To Talk About Mental Health In Relationships | Alyssa Lein Smith, Quincy Jones Productions

Too Much To Handle with Hannah Cranston

Talking about mental health in any scenario can be taboo and daunting, but exposing your own struggles, especially to a partner, can be terrifying. We all know that we SHOULD talk about mental health to destigmatize it, but where do we start? How do we broach the topic with our loved ones? And what do we do if they react poorly? Today I sit down with Alyssa Lein Smith, who is the Chief Of Staff and the media manager at Quincy Jones Productions and also someone who has been diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome, to talk about just that! Alyssa discusses her struggle with mental illness and how she overcame, sharing an unbelievable story filled with heartbreak and whole lot of triumph! Learn more about your ad choices.
