Covid raised awareness of mental health in india!!

After the Covid-19 pandemic, there has been a lot of changes in people’s thinking and awareness about the need of mental health, said psychiatric experts from across the country gathered in confrence on Saturday.

Good thing is that people have started

acknowledging these psychological problems and consulting mental health

professionals. The Government too has

proactively launched many such helplines to deal with mental health problems.

Being aware of your overall health is important so that you can detect any symptoms and seek professional help when necessary.

Raising mental health awareness can help you to understand your symptoms, find professional treatment, and, perhaps most importantly, break the mental health stigma that leaves so many people suffering in secret.

Some common disorders that need more awareness include:

Generalized anxiety disorder

Substance use disorders

Depression

Bipolar disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder

Schizophrenia

Suicidal ideation

Another significant benefit to mental health awareness is that the more people know about the need for mental health treatment, the more mental health resources will become available. Without mental health resources, people would not be able to recover.

Awareness will break the Mental Health Stigma.
