Consulting a psychiatrist is something people don’t think seriously. But the truth is, only a professional can help in any such case. We cannot do trials.
I feel in our society many people suffer from depression and anxiety but they did not considered it serious or feel hesitate to take professional consultation due to stigma attached with various mental issues. I agree these mental health issues are like slow poison and people should take professional help, if things are not manageable on their own.
I could.so.connect with it. My sister lost her first pregnancy and she fell into depression. It was so hard to get her out of it. Seeking help is the best possible thing you can do
I agree with all your thoughts in fact many of us undergo phases of anxiety and even kids too especially in this lockdown scenario but one thing I feel the need is that these counsellors be more accessible to the masses. Currently for every sitting the doctors charge 800-1000 Rs. And these problems requires recurring visits.
Wonderful post, Rakhi. I am glad you are creating awareness in this area. Seeking help isn’t about being sick or a patient. We need to address this first to wipe off the taboo. Mental health needs right guidance and care, that’s very important.
Seeking professional help when required is very necessary. It is vety important to understand when actually we require it. This post is very helpful.
In our country, there is still a taboo about mental health, if it all is discussed, it is done in hushed tones. But it is so necessary that mental issues are addressed at the earliest. These are all the signals that point towards a visit to the psychiatrist.
Mental health issues are as serious as any other illness and one should not shy away frm visiting a psychiatrist. It’s only to heal a wound that is on one’s mind.
tHESE IS NO SHAME IN seeking professional help if the symptoms are severe. you have mentioned valid reasons to see a psychiatrist.

Mental health issues definitely need care at the earliest to avoid later complications. I’m glad you listed out reasons people could take a consultation.
I’m glad that when I was going through a serious depressing phase my friend made me see a psychiatrist. It was a good decision and helped me deal with it very well. Nothing wrong in it!
In today’s time, it is very important to consult a psychiatrist to discuss anxiety and mental health issue. You have shared a very important topic, our society needs to accept that depression is an illness and people need to get the treatment whenever it is required
