Asian American Wellness


I started this account to spread awareness and inform others about the huge stigma against mental health in the Asian-American community. I think that it’s important to acknowledge all the signs and symptoms relating to multiple mental illnesses and instead talk about it to someone even if it does seem taboo. In order to break this stigma, we need to combat racist ideologies that are placed on Asian Americans such as the pressure to keep hold of the “model minority” reputation which causes large amounts of pressure to live up to. I hope to help elaborate and write about a multitude of these issues and hopefully help Asian- Americans and other people of different races who are struggling with their own mental health.

Hi guys! My name is Marykate and I’m half Filipina and half Chinese. I'm an Asian American who is passionate about mental health for all despite the huge stigma behind it. I currently run the account independently and even though it's a work in progress full of trial and errors, I hope that my account helps other people feel less alone especially fellow Asian- Americans who fell like they have no one to turn to. Please follow @asianamerican.wellness on instagram to read articles on mental health tips and also modern day struggles for Asian Americans.
