mental health story
Psychological journey account
A mental health story is a personal narrative about psychological struggles, recovery, or lived experience with conditions like depression, anxiety, or trauma.
The term gained currency as awareness campaigns encouraged sharing: She decided to tell her mental health story to help others feel less alone.
Such stories often appear in advocacy contexts, therapy settings, or social media, framing mental illness through individual testimony rather than clinical abstraction.
