'Married to Medicine’ Freshman Exposes Your Hidden Struggles

   

Psychiatrist Dr. Mirica “Mimi” Sanders and her new husband Steve Sanders have joined season 11 of Married to Medicine. The dynamic couple will join Dr. Jackie, Dr. Heavenly and the rest of the doctors, husbands and friends when the hit Bravo show airs later Sept. 18. M2M is a reality show dedicated to the fabulous lifestyles of medical professionals in Atlanta. Mimi and Steve make the perfect addition of black excellence. Mimi is a beautiful psychiatrist and her handsome husband, a former NFL player. As a mental health professional, Mimi should be able to offer some balance when temperatures run high among the ladies on the show. Before Mimi's introduction to the cast, Dr. Jackie Walters was doing double duty as the voice of reason.

M2M Cast Met With Vice President Kamala Harris

Dr. Mimi shared her advice for keeping prioritizing one's mental health during an interview with Lenox & Parker magazine. She shared the following three tips for managing stress or anxiety during what is promising to be a very emotionally charged presidential race.

1. Give yourself boundaries on how much information you process daily. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed with information, and it triggers you to the point where you are up all night or not able to focus on other areas of life, that's not positive. If you find yourself struggling in this area, limit the time you spend watching TV or social media.

2. If you are the type of person that doesn't do well at rallies or large gatherings, find other ways to show your support, whether it's one on one conversations or through financial contributions.

3. Be Proactive. Understand there will be a lot of information coming your way over the upcoming months. Have a personal plan of how you will navigate this election season that prioritizes your mental health first.

Having a psychiatrist on board should prove helpful for the cast of Married to Medicine. Beyond that, having a psychiatrist as a regular on reality television should offer fans a dose of a healthier vantage point whether that pertains to politics, relationships, or any of the other train wrecks addressed on reality television.

Married to Medicine season 11 is slated for release in the fall of 2024. You can catch all prior seasons streaming on Peacock.
