India’s mental health stigma & lack of access to therapy
India was dubbed as ‘one of the most depressed countries in the world’ by WHO in 2018-2019. Yet, up to 83 per cent of people suffering from mental health issues don’t get the help they need. One of the primary reasons why people don’t seek therapy is the stigma attached to it. Watch Tina Das broach this sensitive issue in #MindOverMatter

People don't even consider mental health as a thing! Still remember how people made fun of deepika when she told about her health and yet she was supporting jnu students and was fighting for a cause, in cow belt states women are kept in shackles by men
Very enlightening. Very Useful to each person each human being each Indian. Please I beg all Indians especially youngsters to watch this video must should and compulsory. One of the best, crisp, clear , superiya 👍👌 👏 video I have ever seen on mental health. Keep it up Tina Das Madam 🙏
Everything is stigma in India because even the "educated" folks here are absolutely uneducated.
Tnx

Nice episode 👍,
Thank you
one in 4 in Pakistan Suffer from mental health issues. The situation is quite similar when it comes to mental health literacy and knowing your mental health condition. People who are aware of mental health are only a few nevertheless not responsible for educating others who do not have access to mental health education. It's the Government that must take it up as part of the Public Service.
This is a deep issue. Even in supportive environments, ignorant empathy is an issue – it is difficult for a non-professional who has not experienced altered states of mind to really understand. You can't just "snap out" of depression or a manic episode, for e.g.. This why access to therapy and trained professionals becomes a must, regardless of the nature of individual's environment.
The therapy has many issues, there is so much research that psychotherapy or talking to a psychologist has the highest remorse rate. The fact that it does not even work in the West its good that its not being encouraged in India.
Please dont consult a psychiatrist, i am a doctor myself, i just completed my mbbs from govt medical college. Psychiatry is a psuedoscience, the side effects of drugs are much worse than the mental illness. And please dont fall for the hype like 1 out of every 4 person has mental illness. No, thats not true, the diagnostic criteria used to diagnose mental illness is flawed and not scientific. If u have anxiety it doesnt make sense to put you on benzodiazepenes and antidepressant, these drugs will cause more damage than your anxiety. Instead take help of your loved ones and consult a psychologist.
In competitive examination there's no free giveaway
Then Olympic to world cup , there would have been reservation
Next time you have someone seriously ill , please go to a consultant with reserved quota
40% scorer will get Ortho and 80% scorer will have to study non clinical , it's insult of competition and grossly unfair
Not all bramhin kayastha richer than leather businessman
If upliftment of poor is criteria
Let play it fair
It should only be given to EWS – SC/ST/OBC and only once in life not repeatedly
That's respecting Ambedkar sirs vision in true sense
Let make it compulsory that all got clinical degrees using SC/ST/OBC Quota have to flaunt it in public notice
Let government accept MBBS degree is not guarantee that they will be considered as economically sound & can shoulder family's responsibility , let gov admit they pay MBBS poorly & less
It will snowball in a great controversy unless definite steps are taken by government to ensure Postponement of implementation at least in PG
Thank you Tina for a wonderful and well researched episode of #MOM 💙
Life is always beautiful when you have good health, for almost 4 years I was diagnosed with HPV, and I was lonely and sad, luckily for me I was addressed to a kind and great herbal doctor who helped me to restore my health back to me, he sent me the herbs that cured my HPV, completely and the test results proves I'm now negative of the virus , all thanks to you dr.aniherbalhome1@gmail.com for the cure remedy for restoring my health, I will always be grateful to you for your kind gestures
💟 much needed! Didn't expect it to be in Hinglish 👍🏻 this is relatively more WhatsApp (family groups) share friendly ☆
I was infected with the HIV virus and I got cured of the HIV virus last month after I contacted DR. Ogbeifun I saw a post on the internet (YOUTUBE CHANNEL) after I have sought healing for several years from different doctors. I sent the Doctor a request for help, just a few emails. I followed his instructions and he sent me the medication and after two weeks, I went for a check up. Now I am negative and I referred him to all my friends who had this same Virus and they have gotten their cure too.

Need of the hour. Quality of life can be improved. 👍🏼👍🏼
It needed to be said! Thank you so much 💓
Hats off Madam, you have really dealt with the real matter regarding mental health in India.
mental health is non existent..talk about it and you will probably be compared with sharmaji son/daughter with that too saying that he/she has more mentally healthier than you.
Excellent information, put very clearly and comprehensively. Being a Mental Health professional, I am thankful to you for creating this video. I will be sharing this with all my network of clients and colleagues. Thank you, keep up the good work! – Dr. Kshipra Moghe
How bad I need a therapist and how less I earn to get one. I am stuck.
The video is unnecessarily too long/ stretched. Very first time coming on this channel. Not sure if this channel gives in-depth analysis or sth like that. If possible, can you please mention that at the start of that video/ in title? Might help the audience decide whether this video would be helpful for them or not. Watched till 2:19. So far, good content.
Mental health matters
October 10th is considered as #worldmentalhealth by World Federation of Mental Health #WFMH . Let's spread the importance of #mentalhealth in #India
कृपया, मेरे पुत्र के द्वारा मेन्टल इश्यूज के बारे में लिखी गयी मिनी बुक को vivekupadhyay substack ke madhyam se padhane ka prayas karain. It may be helpful. He has just finished the rough draft on this subject.
sorry to be rude but is this video in english? I can't tell.
