Click here to start loving your brain!
It’s not always easy to love your brain, especially when it can sometimes feel like a toxic partner. Your own brain can gaslight you and lovebomb you! But your cerebellum isn’t going to buy you a dozen roses or take you out for oysters and breaking up with your brain is simply not an option. It’s also not easy to admit your relationship with your mind isn’t always great. Canadians are more likely to reveal they have cancer than depression. This affects all of us. Half of Canadians will have experienced mental illness by the age of 40. Young people are especially vulnerable to mental illness. One in four young people need to access mental health services every year. Even if you aren’t one of them, you know someone who is. This season of Playing with Marbles is all about young people who have a complicated relationship with their brains: six episodes, six people, six mental health conditions. This isn’t your typical awareness campaign. This is lived experience alongside cutting-edge research. It’s how having a mental illness feels, and what is going on inside your brain. Playing with Marbles Season 3 turns the situationship between science and the people it serves into a loving partnership. We’re hoping that by showing you that every brain is different, you can start to give your own brain the love that it deserves.
