“Textbooks stereotype conditions are almost non-existent. What I know is that in the real world, psychological presentations vary enormously and I’ve become good at seeing through masks that hide what’s really going on. It’s so rewarding to be part of another’s journey in life through a crisis or struggle, overcoming challenges and growing strength, resilience and new skills to handle life” Sahar Fattahi says.
