The prime minister pointed out that before a person’s condition reaches such a critical point, it is crucial “to encourage anyone to seek help when they feel stuck. Let’s finally banish the stigma that accompanies mental disorders,” emphasizing that no one should feel ashamed or embarrassed about seeking the help of a psychiatrist or a psychologist.”
