Parham Parastaran is an Iranian-American entrepreneur turned mental health advocate who is dedicated to helping people make mental health a priority. Although he enjoyed success, he had a secret: He suffered from severe depression and addiction.
A rock-bottom moment led to signing himself up for psychoanalysis, starting a journey that opened up the darkest doors within himself and found him revisiting a childhood of trauma. He discusses his struggles in his book Perfect Pain.
Now he is focused on advocating for everyday mental wellness -- rather than mental health and “quick fixes” we are so used to hearing about. Through his no-bs approach he shares personal imperfections and goes beyond the “simple tips” mentality in order to build self awareness, especially in younger people.
