@AlexAndBooks_ I agree. One of the most common problems people come to me for, especially students and young people, is a lack of focus and inattention.
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability and reduced quality of life. I consistently urge psychiatrists and physicians to include psychologists in care teams to provide psychotherapy as part of a holistic treatment approach that addresses overall health.
When people think about treating depression, they often focus on medication alone. But research suggests exercise, sleep, diet, and psychotherapy can all have a meaningful impact on mood and overall mental health. https://t.co/OMTLpLpfhA

@KantInEastt The idea of keeping animals locked up in zoos for public entertainment is so wrong, & now feeding pets to them? That’s on a whole other level. We’ve got to remember that animals are living beings, they feel pain and have emotions. This kind of cruelty shouldn’t be allowed.
Moments like these remind me why I chose this path.

To every soul struggling quietly: healing is possible. You are not alone. Seek help. Break the stigma around mental health.
