Styles P: "A Lot of Us Aren’t in Touch With Ourselves to Even Be Mentally Healthy"

Styles P: "A Lot of Us Aren’t in Touch With Ourselves to Even Be Mentally Healthy"

Styles P sat down with Ebro Darden's podcast The Ebro Show for World Health Day (Oct. 10) to talk about the devastating loss of his daughter, Tai Styles, to suicide in 2015.

He said that in her case, there were no signs pointing to her internal struggles.

“I’ve lost a daughter to suicide. And thinking about mental health, I probably look at it different from most people,” he said. “She didn’t have signs, didn’t see it, didn’t know, she never had no attempts, no anything. Most people don’t know how other people feel. “Really, at the end of the day, even mental health specialists, even the experts, a lot of people don’t go around asking people how they feel or expressing how they feel. And with understanding that, like you said, I’m pretty sure most mental health experts have to go through some sort of specific training or class to keep their mind state intact.”

Styles also talked about why it's important to be in touch with yourself.

“I think the average individual doesn’t look at their own life, what they’re going through and measure it on their own scale without comparing it to someone else and how they feel and what’s going on and what they should do, what they should not do, and what makes them tick," he said. "A lot of us aren’t in touch with ourselves to even be mentally healthy."
