Communication Quote by Andrey Rublev
“I was taking anti-depression tablets and it was not helping at all. In the end I said: 'I don't want to take anything any more.' I stopped all the tablets and Marat Safin helped me a lot with conversation. He made me realise many things and then I start to work with a psychologist.”
