Desi Daze

By: Sama Health
  • Summary

  • This is a non-western mental health show for South Asians, by South Asians. Most of the content about mental health is from people who don't look, sound or live like us. From being told by our families that "we have no reason to be depressed"; or being told "chaltha hai", "just pray more", and "work harder" when we are anxious; to dealing with nosy aunties and the pressure of taking care of elder family members - being desi is different. This show is about breaking the silence around desi mental health without being culturally tone deaf.
