#MeetTheExpert: Dr. Stephany Lora is a dedicated pediatric psychologist at West Virginia University, specializing in the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. With a compassionate approach and a commitment to advancing pediatric mental health care, Dr. Lora is an invaluable member of the WVU medical team. She is passionate about advocacy and promoting mental health as a holistic approach to patient care. "Mental health has long been stigmatized but is as much a part of basic health as any other health-related behaviors, such as getting a checkup or going to the dentist. Research has shown that difficulties with mental health can have an impact on physical health, such as experiences of pain or the ability to get decent sleep. My hope is that, with initiatives such as Mental Health Awareness Month, mental health becomes easier to talk about and that more people will seek help without shame or the belief that something is inherently 'wrong' with them." #WVUNeuro #W...
