Just in time for Mental Health awareness week in the UK, this week we bring the topic of mental health in men with my friend and Dr. Louis Akindele.
Louis, no stranger to anxiety and its effects not only on his patients, but also on himself, sits today with us to talk about his experiences and the events that made him realise he had to take some action. Louis wrote a blog post earlier this year called Love and Anxiety in the times of covid, in which he exposes his personal struggles with anxiety and the physical symptoms that it brought, exposing very openly the physical symptoms most men experience but don't talk about, and would like this subject to be less taboo. With great vulnerability, we talk all about it. I encourage you all to listen to find out what it is ;).
Louis Akindele is a professional NHS doctor, and an amateur footballer, triathlete with a passion for poetry and writing.
