Be Kind!
Mental health is so so important. We are all going through tough times. Some are blessed with innate strength to handle it but most of us need the support of loved ones to get thorough tough times. Call that friend or relative. Small acts of kindness can go a long way ❤️

Time to Address Mental Health Issues:
Mental health: it's 2020, and yet here in India, mental health is still considered to be a myth. People are not ready to believe that depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD etc are DISEASES. They are not a person's mood.( 1/n)

Mental Health Should be Taught in Schools!
We don't need deaths to remind us about mental health. We don't need the suicides of the people close to us/people we love to remind us that it's an actual thing we need to be educated and be sympathetic about. Checc up on people, remind them they're not alone . Do your part.
