I believe that mental illness should be taken just as seriously as physical illness, and educating our community is the first step.

UC Riverside, Cellular Molecular & Developmental Biology

This topic really resonated with me because I have personally seen the effects of depression and substance abuse take over someone's life. Only now do I realize how many times and in how many ways it could have been prevented.

Having a conversation about mental illness will bring people together in a new level of openness.

Depression and substance abuse are important topics for me because of the detrimental impact is has on the mind and body, especially in underrepresented communities where they have less access to help.
