Podcasts are a great way to switch gears during a commute or to destress while cooking or cleaning at home. These podcasts have been highly recommended by friends or sources online. Listening to people speak on mental health is a great start, but if you want to start your own conversation, head to Psychology Today to find someone to talk to in your area or online. The APA anxiety topic page and the APA depression topic page are also great sources of information. If you are looking for something for your commute tomorrow, scroll through to find your perfect podcast match for what you need.
