Mental Health and Awareness

Mental health in the mayhem of modern living, in the whirlwind of work challenges, people and pressures; locked up when the whole world is in pure chaos is a big deal. Those filled with mental health, those who lead a healthy and happy life, that who walk on the thin line of goodness; mental health has such importance for our well-being. In this blog, we will explore the world of mental health and awareness, a landscape that is hidden from many but a place that should be brought to light, with more information and awareness than one can imagine.The first barrier to address, in my mind, is the overwhelming stigma that surrounds mental health. For so long, those suffering from mental illness have been whispered about in hushed tones, as if some kind of taboo exists around the condition. Silence breeds fear, and fear gives way to stigma. And so often I have heard this from the friends and family members who come to me for advice: Mom is suffering but is too ashamed to see anyone for help.
