Description
If you’ve been having feelings of anxiety, depression, or have had dark thoughts, it is okay to ask for help. You are NOT ALONE. Help and support is available! In this episode, Bianca Gonzalez sits down with Dr. Jasmine Vergara, psychiatrist and Technical Officer at the World Health Organization, to talk about signs you should watch out for, and the tools and resources available to help you. There is no shame in seeking help—we’ve done it too!
