Quote: “I think we've weaponized mental health as well, to an extent. Like, it's become a thing we talk about or say as a way to avoid responsibility sometimes. And that's what I don't love. And, you know, that does that's so disrespectful to individuals who are genuinely struggling.” –Dr Sara Kuburic
