Life Chitty Chat: Anxiety, Body Image & Family Planning Decisions
Listen now
Description
Life will throw a lot of challenges at you that may not seem medical, but as a GP, Dr Preeya is often just there to listen. Preeya and Megan Burslem (host of Classic Breakfast on ABC Classic) met through work and had a clash of souls (yep, it’s a thing - we think!). Two humans discussing everything from the pressures on women (from diet culture, family planning and relationships) to mental health (and yes there are some tears so be warned) If any of the topics raised in this episode are confronting for you please see a qualified health professional like your GP or psychologist, or seek help through organisations such as Lifeline (13 11 14). You are not alone. The discussions in this podcast are general in nature and do not replace the need for you to see a qualified health professional for any concerns you may have.
