Moe Saha does away with the notion that mental illness is somehow not a legitimate illness in her talk. She uses her background in the genetic sciences to back up her argument, and make the case for potential new treatments.

Tamoha Saha is a student at Los Altos High School with unusual passions for both genetics and mental health. She has performed lots of personal research on the subjects.
