Episode #62 Depression and Mental Health in Glamorous Hollywood

Raising the New Earth

According to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Health), one in five adults will experience or have experienced a mental health struggle, that is to say about 47.6 million living with a mental illness. Now, individuals working in the entertainment industry in front of and behind the set/stage are approximately three times more likely to struggle with mental health challenges. While Arts and Entertainment can transcend emotions and benefit our well-being, it’s somewhat ironic that production and tech workers — the ones we don’t see — are, in fact, suffering.

Studies show that rates of suicide and suicidal thinking, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse are significantly higher among entertainment industry professionals than the general population. It’s a high-risk business that’s rife with uncertainty, job insecurity, and brutal hours, constant competition with others and being subjected to being judged and measured against others is also understandably stressful.
Research has shown that simply venting your troubles to a friend is not helpful. So what can we do about it?
In this solo episode, Noa shares her insights as a working professional, both as an entertainer in Hollywood and a mental health nutritionist, as well as resources available to anyone who seeks help!
