A lot of us have been trying new things to manage our mental health, especially in the past year and a half. But can suggesting things like meditation and exercise actually help someone with anxiety and/or depression?
Elena and Harv talk to comedian and mental health advocate Kelsey Darragh about what she does to cope, checking in with loved ones, and why this question can help open discussions about mental health.
For another angle on this question, check out our Season 2 episode "Have you tried _____?" where we discuss this question with people who have chronic illnesses.
