Desi Marriages: Culture, Trauma & Mental Health | دیسی شادیاں: کلچر، ٹراما اور ذہنی صحت

Описание: Are desi marriages truly happy — or are they just surviving under cultural pressure?

In this deep and honest episode of Mazari Talks, we sit down with Dr. Bisma (Medical Doctor & Mental Health Advocate) to unpack the silent emotional struggles inside desi marriages. From childhood trauma and societal pressure to poor decision-making, emotional suppression, and mental health neglect — this conversation is grounded in psychology, clinical insight, and real-life cases.

This episode is not about blaming culture or promoting divorce. It’s about understanding patterns, recognizing red flags, and learning how healing actually begins.
