Progress in Mind

Lundbeck is one of the only global pharmaceutical companies dedicated to restoring brain health for people living with brain diseases. For two years in a row, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to cover their two-day patient advocacy summit (#1voicesummit), where representatives from patient groups around the world gather to learn from each other. What an inspirational bunch!

Following the summit, I also wrote two articles for the biennial Lundbeck Magazine and proofread the entire publication, which had mental health discrimination as its theme.

People facing mental health challenges deserve our compassion, just as those struggling with physical ailments do. Mental health is a topic close to my life and to my heart. In fact, few families are untouched by depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s or other brain diseases. The least we can do is talk openly – and kindly – about our experiences. And if you want to hear mine, just let me know.
