How one woman raises awareness about mental health

October 10th is World Mental Health Day –an international day focused on education and awareness about a variety of mental disorders that are estimated to affect roughly 13 percent of the global population. The day also highlights the stigma many people with a disorder face.

CGTN’s Karina Huber meets one woman who overcame her fears by talking about her struggles in a public forum. She has since started an organization actively encouraging others to do the same.
