Dr. Lucy is a Nigerian psychiatrist who is passionate about pain management, especially those that aren’t physical.
In her eleven years of service, she has come to realize that one out of every three individuals she comes across have deep seated burdens they bear, which unfortunately shape their current relationships without them even being aware of it.
In her practice, she also learnt that opening up about issues (no matter how meagre it seems), go a long way towards healing. As a matter of fact, having an outlet for mental/ emotional pain before it develops root that shape a person’s life helps foster happier relationships.
Unfortunately, Lucy is aware that Nigeria is not the kind of society that encourage people to speak up. Men can’t speak up for fear of being ridiculed or tagged being weak; while women can’t speak up for fear of stigmatisation. Yet even he who stigmatises is a victim, howbeit in a different angle. Alas, here is what the society has become…an entity that shapes behaviours and moral standards, only to be a mirage in its entire self.

Dr. Lucy therefore came up with a simple solution of this platform, where pains can be discussed anonymously. There is no fear of stigmatisation, just a blog where stories can be shared and others facing similar trauma can be sure they are not alone, while learning from one another.
