It\u2019s about learning how to dance in the rain.\u00bb -Vivian Greene<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I am a proud Panamanian, but I recognize that there are improvements to be made.  I value education as a means for our human resource to increase the quality of life at a global level.  I have faith that an individual can change the world and I have dedicated my life to help people so that they can be that positive force.  I work every day to practice what I preach and balance myself a bit more in mind, body and spirit, but I acknowledge that my main effort to date has been mental.  I love to read and stay abreast of the most recent psychiatric developments, which are seeing their most rapid growth since the birth of the specialty.  Each day I learn about the interrelation between all our systems and their effect on our mental health in the short and long term, which mirror the interrelation between us all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">My interest in medicine came from my maternal grandfather (humanitarian neurosurgeon) and my passion for mental health through mi rotations in medicine where I would spend more time talking with and listening to my patients than my colleagues.  I soon realized that these patients felt more satisfied with their care and their health and would improve quicker, no matter which specialty I was rotating through.  I had the opportunity to do research on the effects of lack of sleep, maternal depression and domestic violence on children.  During my psychiatric rotations, I consolidated the idea that for optimal wellness one needed to work integrally.  For this reason, when I arrived back in Panama and met Analida, we decided to create Holistic Mind Steps (HMS), a health clinic where we work with the whole person in mind, body and spirit, so that they may achieve the optimal version of themselves.  In HMS, in addition to helping with the administration of the clinic, I am one of the psychiatrists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Education:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>School.
