I became a caregiver to my grandparents before I truly understood what mental health meant. My grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and my grandmother with Major Depressive Disorder. As their live-in granddaughter, I took on the role of a primary caregiver for over 14 years, helping with daily tasks, managing medication, coordinating care, and offering steady emotional support. From adolescence into adulthood, I witnessed their battles and learned that healing often begins with something as simple, and powerful, as staying.

Their journeys shaped me in ways no textbook could. I saw how invisible mental and physical struggles can be, and how much it means when someone simply doesn’t walk away. This experience led me to pursue psychology and specialize in psychosocial rehabilitation.
