Hi, I'm Dr. Pauline Lysak
As a psychiatrist in Victoria, BC, I've seen too many people struggling with mental health challenges for too long without the proper help.
I've seen how often the basics are ignored because nobody has time to review them or even explain them. There's a lot of "low hanging fruit" when it comes to mental health care—and no good reason to miss it.
Mental Health 101 is my way of making sure this doesn't happen to you too.
You've waited long enough. You can do this!
