She has brought many patients suffering mental illness to full remission. She is a strong advocate for people suffering from mental illnesses. Dr. Wang has volunteered her time in the community to help destigmatize depressive disorders, dementia and delirium. She has also involved herself in student education, on topics such as schizophrenia, sibling relationships, and dream related issues. Even though her psychiatric text book depicts that 2/3 of depressive patients are women, there are no woman-specific treatments available as the current treatment guidelines. Dr. Wang suffered many psychosomatic disorders since childhood. She has benefited tremendously through a self-healing process that she has taught her patients. She practices Yoga, goes to Yoga retreats minimally once a year, she believes in acupuncture and many good advice coming from Indian ayurvedic nutritional theories. She practices Zen meditation, she believes in the power of prayer and she sings in her Church choir. She has strong faith in Christianity. As many physicians experience burn-out in the current brutal managed care era, to practice conventional medicine has not enabled Dr. Wang to do her best. That is to motivate people and pass on her own healing experiences to others, and to unleash the innate self-growth power within. Let’s follow our mother Hildegard, the medieval nun from Germany, the Doctor of the Church, to treat our body as a living creature not a machine when under stress. Let’s summon our body’s own Dr. Quiet, Dr. Nutrient and Dr. Merryman, of which Dr.Wang’s interpretation is that we need to find our passions and God-given-talents to live and to live well.
