Mental illness is something that needed to be discussed among people of different age. Because in india discussing mental illness is not all given priority it has always been at last. Mental illness is one of the serious topic to talk about but society don’t give importance to it. It has become to hard to discuss about mental illness that nobody can freely talk with their family and friends. If the person who suffering from mental illness they share to someone with their friends or family they will give you different kind of advices like be positive, do meditation or yoga, go outside have some fresh air, etc. But no one will say that you need therapy. It has become so difficult to discuss about mental illness in our society. As we can see in this COVID-19 pandemic situation people has to stay at home between 4 walls some of them are spending with their families and some of them alone due to which many of people suffer from mental illness. Even sometimes people with their family are suffering from frustration about work from home. Same thing is happening with students with their grades it is hard to study from online classes, attending lectures and many of them can’t afford smartphones and laptops due of which it affect of their study in that also parents pressure to score good grades. Parents are one who can understand their kids very well so they should listen their child atleast ones about mental illness and they should support them to recover from it by taking their child to therapy. People who suffer from mental illness they need to talk out with their loved ones don’t think about society. The only way to change society thinking start talking about mental illness make it highlight as others topics are discussed. Mental illness should be considered as priority in our india.
