Let’s address the challenges hindering mental health support in India:
Family Pressure: Families often don’t understand or downplay mental health issues, prioritizing strength over emotional vulnerability.
Cultural Stigma: Mental health problems are sometimes seen as shameful due to religious or cultural beliefs, leading to fear of judgment when seeking help.
Personal Boundaries: Many neglect their own needs for the sake of others, preventing them from seeking therapy and self-care.
Limited Use of Therapists: Trained therapists are available, but people often only seek help during crises, rather than integrating therapy into regular self-care practices.
Let’s break these barriers together and ensure everyone can access the mental health support they need.
