Seeking the unseen
We often neglect the unseen aspects of ourselves in the healthcare system, focusing primarily on what can be seen - a physical body or overt mental illness. This gap ignited Dr. Sonko’s passion for mental health.
Mental health is more than just the absence of mental disorders or disabilities: The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health holistically: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
