Rei Pham

The stigma of mental illness such as Depression and Anxiety causes many Vietnamese to avoid talking about this important topic. Watch as Chopsticks Alley's Contributor, Rei Pham, opens up in a raw and unfiltered video sharing her perspective on this topic.

We hope her words will help parents, friends, and families recognize that Depression and Anxiety is real. "It's important to accept that mental illness is a real thing."

We urge parents to talk to their kids openly about depression and anxiety before it's too late.
