I Was Struggling with PTSD, Now I Help to Cure It Through AI

Read the brave story of Anam from Pakistan who was struggling with Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder (PTSD) after her dad was in a critical health condition. She had to prepare for entrance exams while taking care of her siblings for several months.

It is truly amazing how many inspiring individuals have applied to our Collaborative AI Challenges. I am very honored to share the story of Anam today from whom I learned a lot by just speaking and listening to her.

She has been part of our Global AI Challenge on Building a Machine Learning Model for PTSD treatment.

Anam, tell us your story.

I am a Computer Science student and before that, I was actually a pre-medical student. I switched a lot of majors. The thing in Pakistan is, after studying biology, you can either become a doctor or a dentist.

I wanted to do research but there weren’t many options.

That is why I decided to switch to computer science and for that, we have to study mathematics before college.
