In this video, I speak about the "Family" concept in the Arab World, ideally in Syria and Lebanon. We had less mental issues before, mainly because our families were everything to us. When meeting someone from the family, a friend or a neighbor and speak about what is making us sad, upset, mad or happy, that helped us forget about our problems or solve them by combining the parts of solutions every time we spoke it out.
"Family" is what we need to go back to our sweet life that we lived before social media and war.
