Dr. Dr. ” This is the type of depression professionals like you and I struggle with in silence. It’s incredibly hard to treat and difficult to spot as the patients are high functioning and don’t appear as though they are suffering/are not believed when they disclose their struggles to family/friends/coworkers. High-functioning people are more likely to suffer from stigma. Mental illness is often misunderstood, and often not treated. I will dedicate my efforts to making their lives easier.
- My passion is to end mental health stigma and increase awareness. The media has a huge influence on changing perspectives and shaping literacy. This is why I want to be part of the media.
