Between the pandemic and America's reckoning with racism and police brutality, many of us are anxious, angry, and depressed. On this week's show, TED Fellow and writer Laurel Braitman helps us process it all.

Host Manoush Zomorodi talks to medical workers who are facing two public health crises: the pandemic and systemic racism. TED Fellow Laurel Braitman tells us about the work she is doing with healthcare workers to help them process.

Manoush continues the conversation with Laurel Braitman, who describes what everyone can learn about their mental health from her work with healthcare workers. She also talks us through Brene Brown's talk on the importance of embracing vulnerability and teen activist Hailey Hardcastle's talk on the importance of mental health at any age.

Laurel Braitman talks us through how young people can process the pandemic, and take care of their mental health always. Manoush and Laurel finish their conversation with a look at Andrew Solomon's TED talk on recognizing depression and the importance of seeking the help you need.
