Jihad is a British-Lebanese multimedia producer who was raised between Sierra Leone and the UK. In this episode, he talks about the intense grief and depression he experienced after his mother’s death from cancer, and how therapy helped him overcome the symptoms of PTSD that followed. He also speaks about surviving Lebanon's many compounding tragedies and how living among a distressed population helped him deal with his own grief in what he calls 'a kind of national group therapy'. Finally, Jihad reveals how living as an openly gay man in a culturally conservative country is his form of activism, and that therapy has made him realise how the wounds of childhood bullying targeting his sexuality still bare their marks on him as an adult. Jihad’s recommendations for balancing mental health: - daily physical movement; - regular interaction with nature; - cross-species interaction (Jihad adopted a dog in Lebanon); and
- any form of creative expression (talent not required).
