ABOUT

I personally think that Mental Health issues, whilst prevalent amongst South Africans, is still considered taboo. During an interview with Dr. Malebo Mokotedi; my Phenomenal Woman GP, she educated me so much about issues relating to mental health. So, I decided to ask her to come and speak more about this at a Phenomenal Women event because I want to introduce this incredible woman to all of you. She has already helped so many women to recover from mental health issues.

There are a lot of people that make judgments or have a lack of understanding of mental health disorders which have stopped us from talking about this serious issue. I read a report that 1 of 5 people in SA suffers from mental health issues like bipolar disorder, depression etc.

Despite the huge strides that we have made medically in understanding this field, somehow, we have been told to just suppress those feelings and move on. We talk about it in hushed tones embarrassed to speak out publicly. I recall the dark phase that I have gone through - depressive thoughts after I had my baby daughter and I did not know what it was. I was afraid to even talk about it. That’s why I have decided to raise awareness about this critical situation.

We have two prestigious guest speakers and women who will speak about their own personal experience and how they overcame their own mental health issues. The main speaker of this incredible event is a very dynamic lady named Dr. Malebo Mokotedi, who will tell us how to cope with mental health issues and how to maintain good mental health. If you are suffering from mental health issues or know someone who is suffering; this event is to show you that you are not alone!
