Balancing careers, families, and personal responsibilities—sound familiar?

For many women, self-care consistently falls to the bottom of the priority list. This pattern becomes particularly pronounced during midlife, when mental health challenges often intensify.

Dr. Zaidi had the privilege of discussing this, a while back, on Brunch with Noreen (RTHK Radio 3), where host Noreen Mir and she explored the unique mental health landscape women navigate, especially during this pivotal life stage.

The conversation highlighted how societal expectations, caregiving roles, and professional demands create a perfect storm that impacts women's wellbeing. Yet these challenges remain under-discussed in both personal and professional spaces.

It's time we normalise prioritising our mental health—not as an afterthought, but as a fundamental part of sustainable success.
