We love her because we always talk about mental health in our blogs and social media posts. This is a really important topic that everyone is aware of but they just don’t know if they have it or they are too afraid to go ask someone about it. That’s why having a doctor who mentions mental health on an open platform makes others feel braver to go and take control of it because they don’t want it to come in the way of their career and personal life.
