The World Health Organization’s ‘Who’s WHO’ video series tells the stories of WHO colleagues and the work they do to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable. Meet Dr Jasmine Vergara, who works at WHO Philippines as a Technical Officer for Mental Health and Substance Use. In this video Jasmine shares her own experience with depression as a medical resident, how she sought help and eventually recovered. It’s led her to focus her work on mental health at WHO. “It’s okay to ask for help – reaching out to your trusted friends, mentors or teachers who would be able to guide you to the next step of recovery – that is one important key.”
