It’s my call: The Final Hours
I woke up with a terrible sweat. My stomach gnawed and growled. Something was not right. I got out of my futon1 and immediately searched my room.

It’s my call: Breaking the boundaries of the brain
Although depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders have been around since the beginning of humanity itself, they have only recently been recognised by health professionals and people around the world as clinical issues.

It’s my call – This is how the world ends …
