A lot of my journey has been learning that growth isn’t just about working harder—it’s about staying open to evolving with the world around you.

Over the years, my work as a psychiatrist has expanded beyond traditional clinical spaces into conversations around habits, technology, and innovation in mental healthcare. Recently, I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside an AI company focused on healthcare, which has given me a deeper perspective on how AI may shape the future of patient care and clinician support.

At the same time, it’s reminded me that even as technology evolves, the human side of mental health still matters most.

That balance between innovation and real human connection is something I continue to think about often—both in my career and in the work I build through YouHabits.

Still learning, still growing, and grateful for the opportunities that continue to shape this journey đŸ€

What do you do if you can’t give up social media but want your time on it to be safer for your mental health?

1⃣ Start by carving out time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Whether it’s reading, painting, or going for a walk, these moments of self-care are like mini-resets for your mind.

2⃣ Establishing a routine that includes regular exercise, good sleep, and balanced meals is crucial. Exercise not only keeps your body fit but also releases those feel-good endorphins. Quality sleep and a nutritious diet are like fuel for your brain, helping you stay focused and emotionally balanced.

3⃣ And remember, don’t hesitate to lean on your support network – talking to friends, family, or professionals can make a world of difference.

Taking small, consistent steps towards self-care can create a big impact on your mental health. You got this! 😊

Does social media really affect our mental health?

My answer is YES. More specifically, it’s our HEAVY USE of social media that can affect our mental well-being.

Constant exposure to curated content can create unrealistic expectations and foster feelings of inadequacy, leading to anxiety and depression.

There’s also online interactions that sometimes lack the depth of real-life connections, leading to feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

I could go on and on! Although social media is not a direct cause of mental health issues, it’s a major factor.

Good news is we can do something about it!

🌈 Happy Pride Month.

Everyone deserves a space where they can thrive as their authentic self.

I've seen how powerful a sense of belonging can be for mental well-being. Feeling accepted, supported, and valued isn't just important socially—it plays a meaningful role in our emotional health.

This month is an opportunity to celebrate identity, resilience, community, and the courage it takes to live authentically.

Let's continue creating spaces where people feel safe to be themselves, where differences are respected, and where conversations about mental health remain open and compassionate.

Wishing everyone a Pride Month filled with connection, self-acceptance, and support. 🌈

Why are girls ghosting me? —

It’s NOT because you’re not interesting enough. It’s most likely because you’re not being proactive. You don’t ask questions, you’re not clear with your intentions, you’re not showing genuine interest.

If you’re asking, “Well, what if she doesn’t want to be bothered?” This is where your power of observation comes in. Observe cues and mirror the effort that she’s putting in. Notice if they seem interested or distant and adjust your engagement accordingly. Respond with similar effort. Long messages deserve thoughtful replies; short ones, brief responses.

Genuine effort goes a long way, but don’t forget to observe her actions. Hope this helps!

This scene in Little Women is what avoidant attachment can look like.

Jo clearly cares about Laurie, but when the relationship becomes emotionally real and vulnerable, you can see her start to pull away. As a psychiatrist, I think this scene reflects something many people misunderstand about avoidant attachment: it’s not always a lack of love or emotion. Often, it’s fear of what closeness might cost emotionally.

Jo values independence, freedom, and identity very deeply. For some people, intimacy can unconsciously feel tied to losing autonomy, becoming emotionally dependent, or sacrificing parts of themselves. So even when connection is desired, emotional distance can become a form of self-protection.

What makes this scene powerful is that Jo isn’t acting out of cruelty. She’s trying to stay emotionally honest while also protecting the parts of herself that feel safest when independent.

Sometimes avoidant attachment doesn’t look cold.
Sometimes it looks like someone who wants connection but feels overwhelmed by the vulnerability that comes with it.

Do you relate to this?

Do you tend to fix their problems?

“Fixing” can also be a way for “fixers” to avoid their own issues, focusing on others’ problems to distract themselves from their own challenges.

Definitely, there are some “fixers” who genuinely care about others and feel a strong sense of empathy, driving them to help even without being asked. But no matter how good the intention is it’s always healthy to set boundaries.

Here’s a simple exercise that I’d like you to try. If you know you are a “fixer,” ask whoever is coming to you with their problem if they want your advice or do they just want you to listen.

As a psychiatrist, one thing I’ve learned is that mental health conversations cannot be separated from culture, identity, and belonging.

In many APIDA experiences, pressure, emotional suppression, achievement expectations, and stigma around vulnerability are often normalized so deeply that people don’t always recognize the emotional weight they’re carrying.

That’s one reason why this conversation matters to me.

For APIDA Heritage Month, I wanted to create space for a more honest dialogue around belonging, identity, and mental health — not just clinically, but personally and culturally as well.

What’s one topic you hope we discuss during the live? 💛

This APIDA Heritage Month event, I’m honored to be joined by leaders from the national leadership team of Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association, James M. Chua, alongside a colleague from their mental health leadership team.

As medical students and future healthcare leaders, they represent a generation actively shaping conversations around representation, advocacy, mental health, and culturally responsive care.

Together, we’ll be discussing how identity, culture, and belonging influence emotional well-being — and why creating spaces for these conversations matters now more than ever.
