Her New Book – Deep Expression
Dr Kadiri has just authored a new book called ‘Deep Expression’ which is inspired by true stories. It awakens us to the menace and claws of depression in full display, and it is an important conversation and an essential body of work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of mental health, especially depression to seek to take it head-on.
The impact of ‘Deep Expressions’ is one everyone can connect to, and be a part of creating solutions. ‘Deep Expressions’ spotlights real-life, relatable experiences and ideologies of mental health and depression in intricate details for laymen and scholars especially in developing countries in Africa.
Its impact is embedded in the passionately well-written storytelling piece of literature that chronicles a relatable plot that awakens readers to the menace and claws of DEPRESSION while addressing some deep-seated issues and debunking preconceived societal constructs.
