Dena Amy - An Open Discussion on Mental Health
Today we are joined by singer, dancer, actor, producer and DJ extraordinaire Dena Amy. Dena has been through some of her lowest moments this year, she was diagnosed with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and has spent a lot of her time in hospital and recovering. In this conversation, Dena spoke so openly about her struggles with anxiety and depression and we were so grateful that she was willing to be so vulnerable with us in sharing her story. With such a big profile and incredible career to date, we are in awe of Dena’s willingness to showcase more than the highlight reel we often see with those who have had such success. This episode does have reference to suicide and depression and it may be triggering for some. If you need help please contact Beyond Blue - 1300 22 4636.
