“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” – Glenn Close.

Everyone is going through troubled and traumatic times of our life, by COVID-19 pandemic. Pandemic really wreaked havoc on our peaceful life detaching us from our Friends, family and dear ones. Quarantine and social distancing bring changes to our beautiful flow of life. Mental health is crucial but still is disregarded as insignificant by society often as a taboo. A lot of you and your loved ones are isolated, suffering silently, feared and helpless, unable to talk your mind out of it.

COVID-19 has triggered mental health issues among us. Anxiety, Depression and many more illnesses are increasing not only in young people but also among elderly and children, day by day. We all are stuck in our home, uncertain about our lives and our loved one's well being. Loss of freedom, Boredom, separation from loved ones all are contributing to deterioration of Mental Health.

We all have become desperate to be reached upon the other end. We all focus on our physical appearance, but forgets about our mental happiness.

Mental Illness can be cured through conveying emotions, bringing a positive mindset and changing lifestyle. Good Mind can build up good relationships, make you work productively, and make you a physically and emotionally healthy individual. Curing your mental health issues can bring positive impacts on your life.

Humans are social creatures, different from other animals.We all need someone to listen to our problems. Communication plays an important role in curing mental health issues. Talking to others helps in venting out your emotions. Every individual deserves to be helped out of a dark cage of mental pain.

It's not an easy hurdle to pass through, recovering from mental illness. Seeking help is never a weakness. Take a chance to express your feelings and emotions to your loved ones. Take the time to help and heal from your pain.
