I just published I’ve Moved to Substack — Here’s Why https://t.co/6eBtRxGoKU

[Jonas Attilus, MD MPH @jonasattilus]

I know publishing is not an easy path. But after twenty years of becoming a doctor, after surviving an earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands, after learning to hold other people’s trauma while carrying my own—I am ready.

So today we remember, b/c that is what the living do. We carry the memories of those who are gone, and the legacy they left behind. We also carry an earlier version of ourselves—a vestige of who we once were—and we search for peace between those selves. https://t.co/VxK7yadl1r

Friends, I’ve started sharing more of my writing on Substack—personal essays and reflections shaped by medicine, migration, and community. My work explores identity, memory & belonging . I’d truly appreciate your support if you’re open to following along. https://t.co/wfNHeskAdf

Winter is a season. It comes and it passes. We don’t need to rush it away, because it, too, has something to offer. It provides contrast, reminding us of the beauty of human existence.

How do we hold tight to this present moment, the only time that truly exists? This life, this fleeting, astonishing now — the only moment we are ever truly given.

I want to write about that. About who we became when the dust finally settled. A memoir not just for the dead, but for the living who walk alongside invisible ghosts. A story of what happened — and what did not. Of unspoken possibilities.

Consider this not an end, but a beginning. An offering for a better world. A way to resist silence, because silence wounds us. Consider this voicing my thoughts, because it heals us.

Consider this a gift from the ancestors .

@drjessigold @FASPEnews @VUamsterdam @KazJNelson You may have been the first person that I heard this program from back in 2018 or 2019. Can't wait to call myself an alumnus

[Jonas Attilus, MD MPH @jonasattilus]

I am super excited about my upcoming trip to Germany & Poland with @FASPEnews.
I am also overjoyed to stop by @VUamsterdam, the Netherlands, to be on a global mental health panel. @KazJNelson @drjessigold

@FASPEnews @globeandmail Here is the link. I highly recommend it :) https://t.co/ZMSTQUq9Hs

[Jonas Attilus, MD MPH @jonasattilus]

@FASPEnews @globeandmail It is very interesting that she will be my co-fellow. There is a good episode on the association between racism and schizophrenia from The Decibel that I always refer to, and continue to share it with the intern. I will be honored to meet her in person.

[Jonas Attilus, MD MPH @jonasattilus]
