    ❓Whose life have you impacted this year?

👩🏽‍⚕️ As Psychiatrists what we do requires strict confidentiality, but I’m able to share this post with you with permission.

💕 A beautiful soul plagued with suicidal thoughts and after 8 months of therapy sent this to me.

 
💡There is always light in every situation. If you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts or severe depression please reach out for help. 

📌 There is no shame or stigma! Psychiatry is a calling and not a job so it’s exciting to see lives transformed with what we do.

📌 The pandemic has indeed impacted so many this year but always know that He makes a way where there seems to be none. 

🤝Take the bold step of faith, speak up, don’t suffer in silence and reach out for help.
