Despite coming from a great, loving family and being blessed with all the faculties one could hope for in life, Kareem knew he was different from a very young age.Mental health is still a taboo in the Middle East, yet it knows no boundaries and affects all of us. It is important we raise awareness about this issue and start to have conversations around it. Putting himself in a position of vulnerability, Kareem was brave enough to come forward and share his experience in the hope that he could inspire someone who may be going through something similar and show them that "we do not go through these things alone".
