Mental illness is considered as taboo by the society and by the patient also and this is mostly happen in Asian side . Mental innocently mean when a person is suffering from any mental disease mental disorder such as like stress , depression and any other . Most patients are scared of talking about their mental illness or about the disease to other people, even not to their family member and friends .
Patient hide about his disease for the sake of the family member . As if a family member knows about his depression and stress they will be tensed about him. Many times the society discriminate with the patient of mental disorder as they considered him or her as they will harm them or do something with is not reliable .
A suffering person is already a victim of depression and press and then becomes more disturbed by the unnecessary things of the society, because of this he is very afraid of telling people about his mental stress in the society.
Suicide does not know that “being a patient of mental disorder” and “Suffering from any mental illness” is totally very different things . Due to which a person who is suffering from any mental stress is not feel comfortable to speak in front of other about his feelings his emotion and the face he is suffering from in this stage a person need to express his feeling to some other people so that his stress and depression levels can be reduced and at this point the person give and take any drastic step like suicide .
Society need to understand that mental illness is not a taboo instead of this we should talk to that person and help out so that he or she can deal with this problem easily and live their life like a normal person .
