Anxiety isn’t always a bad thing — it’s actually a normal response meant to keep you alert and safe.

But when anxiety starts interfering with your daily life, your relationships, your sleep, or your ability to function… it may be time to seek support.

Getting help doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It means you’re taking care of your mental health.

💙Hi, I’m Dr. Lu, and I’m here again to talk with you about mental health — in a simple, relaxed way.
As your doctor, but also in a human way, because understanding mental health starts with awareness.
And these conversations matter more than we realize.

🥹Adulting. So many things to do, and sometimes it feels too much.

When your to-do list feels overwhelming, write it down — then prioritize.
Accomplishing even one important task counts as a win! 🎉
Find pride and joy in those “small” steps — they matter more than you think. 💙

Distraction, overthinking, forgetfulness — it’s not laziness, it could be ADHD.

Awareness is power, and healing starts with understanding.

That’s why, in this video series, I’m sharing about these topics that sometimes feel a bit taboo, but are so important for our mental health.

If you’ve been enjoying this series and learning something new, leave me a 💙 — I’d love to know you’re here.

💙I’m here to talk about ADHD in a way that helps you understand it better — for yourself and for those you love.

Rest is not the opposite of productivity it’s
part of being human. Asking for help doesn’t mean you’ve failed; it means you’re self aware.

Mental health care includes pausing,
reassessing, and accepting that healing isn’t
linear.

You can be doing your best and still need a
break.

Language like “lazy” or “too emotional” often
hides a deeper need for support.

Knowing your provider matters. Trust and transparency build strong therapeutic relationships.

If you’re curious about who I am, my clinical approach, or why I do this work. Take a moment to get to know the person behind the role.

Mental health care is human work. And I’m here to meet you as one🫶🏼

We grow up hearing that strength means doing everything by your self. But the truth is: strength often looks like honesty.Like asking for help. Like naming your limits.

Vulnerability isn’t weakness it’s an act of
courage, especially in cultures where we’re
taught to stay silent.
Let’s unlearn the stigma.
Let’s normalize reaching out.

Therapy isn’t only for “big problems” It’s also a tool for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and clarity. You don’t need a diagnosis to deserve support.

Sometimes we seek help not because things
are falling apart but because we want to
understand ourselves better.
Start where you are. That’s enough.🙌🏻

Wellness is more than symptom relief, it’s
about feeling connected, seen, and aligned
with your life.

Your mental health is calling not because
you’re broken, but because you deserve
better.

Better tools. Better rest. Better boundaries.
Go ahead answer!✨
