Ep 3 - Mental Health Awareness in Pakistan and India (Hindi/Urdu)
With over 240 million people suffering from depression around the world and the numbers ever-increasing, it's no surprise that the WHO has labelled it as a crisis.
In fact, new research has even shown that those suffering from depression have physical changes in their brains as compared to their counterparts.
This means the treatment should be seen as no different than treating a physical ailment.
With such staggering evidence, why is it that communities in Pakistan and India to this day still look down upon these issues? Why is it so hard for us to acknowledge that mental illness is real, and seeking treatment is ok?
Often times we are told to just "get over it", or "be a man". Yet we wouldn't dare repeat those words to someone who broke their arm or leg?
The fact is this. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and the words we choose to use can either help or aggravate those who are in the clutches of this illness. This is exactly what we talk about in today's episode of Inside Out with Sahas and Ali.
