Panacea has the goal of initiating open conversations and reducing stigma surrounding mental health and mental illness. To do so, Michelle teaches 'mental health 101' and shares some of her own experiences living with mental illness.

The positive impact that mental health literacy can have in your own life, and for the people around you, is what drives her. If her words can inspire empathy and change at least one person's perspective or make someone feel less alone, then she has done her job. Join us for some fun tunes and vulnerable conversations!

Every 4th and 5th Thursday of the month, 2 - 3pm (EST)

December 28, 2023: Happy 1 Year(?): Major Depressive Disorder

It's been 12 months of Panacea xO!!! In this segment, we talk about my experience living with Major Depressive Disorder, some of the underlying risk factors and precipitators, and the feedback loops that serve to maintain depressive symptoms. I touch on how my understanding of the way we conceptualize and categorize mental illness has changed in the last year, and how this has affected my self-compassion and forgiveness. Happy Holidays to all, and Happy New Year! See you lovely humans in 2024 :) Disclaimer: I am not a mental health professional and what I say may not apply to everyone.
