Why are you passionate about providing mental 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
