A Note On Mental Illness

Since childhood, we are taught to exercise daily and enjoy a healthy diet. 

We do this to improve our physical fitness, which helps us to fight off diseases (if we meet them face to face). 

But what about mental health? Why don't we address mental issues?

On a personal note, I have 2 active depression cases in the family.

And still,

My parents haven't had a serious discussion on depression with me or my sibling. 

By now, we all have heard about Mr.Sushant Singh Rajput. 

It's sad to hear about a successful chap taking his own life due to depression. 

May he rest in peace

Instead of expressing our sympathies, it's time to take the fight with depression. 

I would request all of you to take an extra step to help people surrounding us battling depression. 

Go talk to them, listen to their problems and help out in every way possible. 

And don't forget to take care of yourself. 

Remember- humans are designed to work together. That's where our strength lies.
