Life
With the high-pressure society we live in, mental health is quite often an overlooked subject.
To delve into the matter, it’s important to provide an opportunity for people around the world to make mental health care a reality for all.
As the UAE continues to break the stigma surrounding this, mental health clinics have gained popularity to address factors surrounding depression, fatigue, anxiety, panic attacks and more.
