About

Hi, I’m Sahana, the creator of Diary of the Mind! Diary of the Mind is a space dedicated to teen mental health and self-improvement. My goal is to provide thoughtful insights, relatable experiences, and actionable tips to help teens navigate life’s challenges.

Being a teen myself, I know how hard things can be. Mental health challenges are incredibly prevalent among our age group, and is a topic that needs more recognition than what it gets. I created this as a space for teens to learn and share about their own mental health. Sometimes, we don’t need the adults around us to tell us about our mind. We just need each other.

Here, you can find practical tips, creative ideas, and the modern circumstances of teen mental health, self-improvement, and growth. We discuss major and modern concepts in teen life today, like mental health days and academic validation, and give you all the information you could ever need on it.

Why Us?

Why can you trust, Diary of the Mind? Well, all the articles written here are extremely well-researched, referencing numerous studies, professionals, and reliable sources and scholarly articles. And hey, you don’t need to worry about any harmful information, because all the advice given here is for anyone to do for themselves, not on serious topics in need of professional help.

You might still be doubtful, I understand. Why should you come to Diary of the Mind over all these other medical websites on the internet? They’re professional, after all, so they should be giving better advice to everyone, as well as teens? Well, sometimes, insights are better given by a peer over a professional.
