Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Naari-tives! This time we talk about a very important topic: Single Motherhood. Often riddled with high levels of stigma and discrimination, the experience of single motherhood can take a significant toll on mental health. We sit down and have a conversation with mS. Sukanya Srinivas Ananth. A seasoned psychotherapist with more than 18 years of experience, she throws light on the heterogeneity that inherently comes with single motherhood, the different experiences they have, and the mental health implications of the same. Grab a cup of coffee and get ready for an insightful and interesting episode!
