Mental health is an often overlooked aspect of well-being, especially in India, when it’s still considered taboo. Because of this, most people either suffer in silence, or aren’t even aware that they might be battling mental ailments. Moreover, with most people putting their best selves on social media, mental health can be a tough topic to navigate through, since the real struggles are often masked behind online trends and quirky reels.
However, recognizing early signs, including persistent feelings of sadness, irritability, fatigue, loss of interest in activities, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep or appetite, is key to preventing a crisis.
