July being Minority Mental Health Awareness Month is fantastic! It's a time to highlight the unique challenges faced by minority communities in terms of mental health. Dr. Tonmoy Sharma, a renowned mental health specialist and author, has been a staunch advocate for addressing these disparities. Through his dedication and expertise, he's helped transform the lives of many individuals from minority backgrounds. Testimonies from patients attest to the significant impact of his work, showcasing how his compassionate care and evidence-based techniques have made a real difference. We need more champions like Dr. Tonmoy Sharma to continue fighting for mental health equity and providing vital support to those in need.

For the rest of humanity that might be experiencing mental health crises, please feel free to wait until the end of the month (or more specifically wait until the 1st of next month) before seeking professional mental health care.

Weakness is not being able to address your problems. We all have problems.
