Greetings and Welcome back to another episode of "TRU CHAT"...A Community Podcast, a MejIMusyK production. I Am your host JoY of JoYful SoundZ and this is episode 9 entitled, "Mental Illness or Madness." Listen to how madness...a type of mental illness shows up in some of the residents of Englewood, (also plagues other communities like Englewood). You will hear the voices of Britany Simms with Chicago CRED as she dives deep into mental illness and it's true origins. You'll hear from Dru of Dru Fitness who migrated from Atlanta, GA to live with his father in Englewood, Chicago as he shares his story of his transitions throughout his stay in Chicago, how mental illness/madness looks for him in his family and dealing with the trauma. Coping with trauma is and has been a tough issue to crack in Englewood, though with the brainstorming of a few of Chicago's top black psychologist working together to create a new way of coping with trauma and, recognition and prevention of the onset of symptoms leading to depression, Coping will mental illness will have a new feel with effective solutions for the community.
