Honolulu (KHON2) – Dr. Karla Garjaka provides mental health tips for those wanting to relieve anxiety and depression.
According to Dr. Karla Garjaka of Globally Brighter and the LEARN school, states the prevalence of mental health concerns has been increasing in recent years. Factors contributing to this rise may include societal pressures, lifestyle changes, increased stress levels, and the impact of events such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
