People visit a psychiatrist all the time, and if you're facing some emotional problems please don't hesitate. It doesn't mean you're crazy.

Taking time out from his busy schedule he graciously comes down to our humble studio and taught us A LOT OF MINDBLOWING STUFFS!

Funny story... Hsien met his wife on a GRABSHARE.

While having a conversation with the grab driver, his wife overheard the conversation and told him that she is a counselor!  

So they were extremely cool and awesome to come down on our podcast to educate us properly about mental health and discuss how professional help actually looks like.  

We discussed about depression, anxiety attacks and how one should react and help when they come across someone they love with this problem.   

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY AWESOME EPISODE.
