OCD, BiPolar 1, & Schizoaffective Disorder Feat. Mel & Jihan

In this week's heartfelt episode of Dear Young Queen: The Podcast, hosts Ashley Weatherspoon and Alexis Stoudemire take you on an intimate journey with two extraordinary best friends, Melissa Duncan and Jihan Gabart. Live from the cozy confines of #CasaLex, the women delve deep into the powerful narrative of friendship, mental health, and unwavering support.

Mel & Jihan share a bond that began in middle school and has weathered the test of time. Hailing from Jamaican roots, the two embarked on an IT business venture that catapulted them into the world of entrepreneurship. However, success came hand in hand with challenges, as it unveiled an array of unresolved issues within Mel.

In a candid account, Mel & Jihan reveal their journey of confronting mental health head-on. The years of strained communication, misinterpretations, and concealed secrets culminated in a life-altering diagnosis. Mel was diagnosed with OCD, BiPolar 1, & Schizoaffective Disorder, marking the onset of her role as a mental health patient while Jihan stepped into the uncharted territory of becoming her devoted "caregiver."

Together, they found strength in vulnerability and founded SoMypolar INC, a non-profit organization committed to raising awareness and eradicating stigmas surrounding mental health. From riveting discussion panels to shedding light on the essential role of caregivers, Mel & Jihan embarked on a mission to change the conversation.

Their latest creation, Tatu’s Adventures, a children’s storybook series, brings their journey to a younger generation. The inaugural book, titled 'Don’t You See,' narrates Mel's earliest encounters with delusions at just five years old, providing a profound understanding of her mental health evolution.

Her firsthand account serves as a beacon of hope, demonstrating that even in the darkest moments, triumph is possible. It is an honor to have Mel & Jihan on the show, proving that women can not only survive but thrive through any adversity.

As you listen to their remarkable journey, remember these key takeaways: First, do not friend superficially. Second, embrace the liberation that comes from accepting help. And third, your candid story could illuminate a path for someone else's struggles.

Tune in to this impactful episode of Dear Young Queen: The Podcast, and witness the power of friendship, resilience, and the pursuit of mental well-being.
