About The Writer
Welcome to Mental Matters! My name is Amina Dudley, The writer behind this blog. I am a 17-year-old writer passionate about understanding the complexities of the mind. Born and raised in Tennessee, I have always been fascinated by the human experience and the many ways we navigate our inner worlds. This blog was born out of my desire to educate myself and others. As a young person navigating today’s world, I offer a unique perspective that resonates with modern-day experiences and challenges. Since childhood, writing has been my constant companion, evolving with me through various phases of my life. At the age of 7, I was diagnosed with anxiety. That same year, I began writing my own stories. These two experiences are intertwined, fueling my passion to understand and share insights on mental health. From crafting short stories to exploring journalistic endeavors, writing has always been my outlet for expression and exploration. I hope that the Mental Matters blogs can become a comprehensive resource for anyone interested in mental health, philosophy, and psychology, bridging the gap between academic knowledge and everyday life. Thank you for joining us on this journey.
Sincerely,
Amina Dudley
