Keynote Topic
A journey with my mental illness. It was inspired by my desire to create an awareness and understanding about the life of someone who is living with a mental illness.
I felt that I could share valuable insights as someone who lives with a mental illness and as a doctor to individuals like myself. The intention is to humanise this journey through sharing my thoughts and reflections related to it.
