At the peak of these emotional challenges, Mano became depressed but people around her didn’t really get the picture, just like in the real life situations, they took Mano’s behaviour for random acts of craziness, trivialized her issues, attributed them to spiritual attack which made her become suicidal. With efficient technological and psychological intervention, Mano was able to overcome her worst fears, she got help and in the process, helped her husband overcome his too.

It’s all about mental health advocacy in an entertaining way. Our focus was on depression, post partum depression, domestic violence and suicide.
For 2018, it’s on a different topic…#GuessWhich.
For us @pinnaclemedng , @pinnaclehealthr , @pmspeakout, etc…this year is already looking promising.”
