Festive Dressing: How dressing up well on Diwali can enhance your mental health

Every week in India, we celebrate some festival or the other. At this time when mental problems are becoming a tragedy, the importance of festivals is being understood. In today's chaos, where we are not able to meet friends and relatives outside of work, this festival brings happiness and an opportunity for socialization where we ignore our problems for some time or days and spend time with each other.

Statistics show that 1 in 4 people have mental health problems; among various reasons, social isolation or loneliness is also an important factor, so the importance of festivals increases a lot. Maintaining balance in today's stressful life is a big challenge, but festivals reduce stress and create a new energy inside where festive dressing plays an important role. The hustle and bustle behind the choice of clothes during festival time like going to the market, enjoying food etc. also positively impacts our mental health. During festivals, many activities can lift your spirits and make you feel good about yourself.
