Quote

I'm a big proponent of having a mental health component go along with whatever the physical realities are.

Mental health needs a great deal of attention. It's the final taboo and it needs to be faced and dealt with.

For mental illnesses, we need better access to treatment and diagnosis.

People talk about physical fitness, but mental health is equally important. I see people suffering, and their families feel a sense of shame about it, which doesn't help. One needs support and understanding. I am now working on an initiative to create awareness about anxiety and depression and help people.

Mental health is often missing from public health debates even though it's critical to wellbeing.

There is no health without mental health; mental health is too important to be left to the professionals alone, and mental health is everyone's business.

My goal is to see that mental illness is treated like cancer.

I want to show that the dividing lines between sanity and mental illness have been drawn in the wrong place.

We have seen that two heads are better than one when dealing with a mental health problem.

Together with open conversations and greater understanding, we can ensure that attitudes for mental health change and children receive the support they deserve.
