Mental Health awareness.
"No health without mental health."
Introduction:
Why is it like that we all come so so concerned about our mental health only when a notable person has left the earth? Why is it like that we talk about it only after a incident has happened? If one is hurt physically if one is bleeding or his bones are broken then he seeks help but when he is down and broke mentally he dont find anyone . The mental injury is deep and must be dealt with absolute care. A simple talk with near and dear ones can help a lot. Depression, anxiety and the similar sort of things are like the pit. It's not the end there is always a way out. You can get over it. If you alone can't push yourself then seek help always. The real problem lies here that people are not ready to talk. Even nowadays if one is telling that he is low or not feeling good then one conclusion is drawn that he must have lost his mind and he is acting crazy. The mental problems do not see any age, sex it can happen to anyone anytime. Look around you there are people who need help you havea story to tell but they are not getting any kind ears!

- Academics: Education is important. Getting good marks is good and always desireable. But what if one doesn't? Students feel low and anxious and what fuels the fire is the comparision. When student A is compared with student B who has achieved higher marks it creates a self doubt that Student A is not good enough! You are perfect in your own way.
- Comparision: Suppose you are scrolling through social media and checking out how others are doing in their life and how perfect there life is! Then there is a heavy chance you will feel low if you didn't make upto that point. The social media platforms portrays everuthing freaking thing its perfect way. In the best way possible. And you start chasing perfection instead of excellence. Stop comparing. It is a way of proving how inferior a person is in terms of achievement.
- Ignorance: A feeling of ignorance or being left out it's like one is part of the group but no the part of the coversation. Being left out is a different kind of pain. When people contact you only when they need you aand the rest of the time they behave as if they don't even know you.
