“I withdrew from social situations, I lost my appetite, I experienced physical symptoms like numbness and blurred vision, I had low self-worth and panic attacks”
I’ve always had an interest in psychology and chose to study it at university. However, it was not until I struggled with severe anxiety myself a few years ago that I fully grasped how mental health issues can impact everything we do. Personally, I withdrew from social situations, I lost my appetite, I experienced physical symptoms like numbness and blurred vision, I had low self-worth and panic attacks. It saddens me to know that these are just some of the ways that people are affected and that there’s a whole host of other challenges people experience every day. Mental health issues can affect anyone at any time which is why it is so important to me to be part of a company that seeks to break the stigma and develop treatments to help people who need it the most.
