Isha Barlas

Isha is a 19-year-old English Literature student at City University London, living in the south with her parents and two younger sisters. She passionately writes about her personal experiences in the hope to challenge societal attitudes towards mental health and raise awareness. As someone who has suffered with depressions and anxiety for many years of her life, she thinks that it is important that people are open about their mental health and receive the support that they need by sparking a vital conversation and by addressing the various stigmas surrounding the issue.
