1 of 6 - From Adolescence to Adulthood - The Hormonal Salad Tuesday Talks have taken a turn and we at Mental Health AE are doing something new with someone new. We are excited to introduce you to our podcast series: From Adolescence to Adulthood - Understanding the Challenges and Navigating the Journey. In this series we bring are joined by an expert in the field to give us valuable insights. Nokhez Usama is a neuropsychologist and is currently working as a behavioral therapist here in Dubai. She has joined the Mental Health AE team to bring insight and awareness to mental health matters. Together we have mapped out 3 part series, 2 episodes each, as well as expert guests; diving into the different themes in the journey of adolescence to adulthood. Teenagehood is one of the most exciting times of an individual life. However, simultaneously it is also considered the most stressful period as an individual adjusts from childhood to adulthood. There's a lot that happens during this transition: hormonal changes, physical changes, emotional needs change, and sudden realizations of what you want to do with your life and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. In this podcast, Ali & Nokhez talk about what adolescence is, what happens to the brain during this period, and how these neural changes affect the behavior and decision-making processes in adolescence. Beyond this, we bring to light this period's importance and significance in everyone's life.

Tuning into Mental Health AE means entering a conversation grounded in the unique rhythms and realities of life in the United Arab Emirates. This isn't about abstract theories; it's a practical, compassionate dialogue focused on local well-being. Each episode stems from the initiative's core mission to build awareness and carve out a genuine safe space for listeners, offering tangible access to information and resources that resonate within this specific cultural context. You'll hear honest discussions that tackle the everyday stresses, societal pressures, and personal challenges people face here, all while navigating paths toward resilience and balance. The podcast serves as an audio extension of that supportive community, where topics range from managing anxiety and workplace burnout to fostering mindfulness and emotional health, always with a relatable, UAE-centric perspective. Hosted by the team behind MentalHealth AE, the episodes are designed to feel like a thoughtful chat with someone who gets it, providing both solace and actionable insights without judgment. It’s for anyone in the region looking to understand their own mind better or simply seeking a moment of grounded reflection amidst a fast-paced world.
