Carishma Patel opens up about her mental health journey — from depression and silent struggles at university to finding hope and healing through creative expression.
In this powerful episode of Unscripted, Amit Ghose sits down with Carishma as she shares how living with chronic pelvic pain, grief, and emotional trauma led to a period of self-isolation. Misdiagnosed with endometriosis and battling depression, she reveals how poetry became her outlet — and how speaking her truth helped her survive.
This is a story of vulnerability, recovery, and the strength it takes to be seen. Carishma also performs one of her original poems that reflects her path from pain to purpose.
