”Mental

Mental health issues are a significant burden to our society. When mental illness strikes we lose our functional ability and isolate ourselves losing contact with people around us. However we still hesitate to seek help as we get apprehensive about the reaction of family, friends and relatives. Thus we suffer in silence as mental illness continues to wreck our lives.

The fact is mental illness is an illness just like any physical illness only manifesting in different form. Treatment methods in Psychiatry have improved significantly in the last few decades. Ongoing research, development of new medicines and structured counselling techniques mean that more and more people can be helped to come out of psychological problems.

What is needed is increased awareness amongst people who can then help themselves and others. One must not hesitate to seek help if he/she is mentally unwell.
