Why Healthcare
Psychiatric disorders are often invisible to those around the person who suffers from them, yet the impact on the afflicted person can be tremendous. I believe that lessening the impact of psychiatric illness on the lives of patients and their loved ones is important work. Providing care for those who are seeking treatment is a privilege.
