IT'S OK NOT TO BE OKAY

 Mental Health Matters!...

Hello World! Today I just want to share the most important aspect of health, that is mental health. Well you might be aware of the campaings and mental health programmes but does it really help us, maybe not. Lets get to the facts. Mental health issues are mostly in developed and developing countries, not sure what the exact reason is. Weather it is OCD, ADHD, PTSD, ODD, ASD, SPD, GAD, Depression, Schizophrenia, etc. There are so many and the stories of people suffering from it are unbearable. Still nobody cares! Harsh.

"I knew people who had suffered from anxiety and found it kind of hard to understand, but then when it hits you, you're like, 'Oh my God, what is this?" -  Shawn Mendes

Even the person who is writing this blog has suffered psychological issues for almost his entire life, thanks to OCD. Yes I am living with it. From washing hands several times to having thoughts of harming somebody. Yes mental disorders can make you disable according to World Health Organization and actually it does.

Remember the famous quote from the movie 'JOKER' , it states,

"The worst part of having a mental illness is people 

expect you to behave, as if you don't."

Am not here to give you people a false hope that life with mental illness is easy or something else, but I just want to say that I have improved a lot and well if there's life, there is still hope! 

Modern science is doing its best to find the exact cause of these illnesses but a lot of work has to be done by you and me and that is spreading awareness, facts, experiences, past to the whole world, yes you heard that right. It needs to be done. Personally I feel OCD is the most weird mental illness as its nature is pure weird and illogical. Medical science claims that medication can improve and cure most of the illnesses but only the victims know exactly that it takes more than just medication. Almost everything depends on the willingness of people to balance their thoughts. The fact is people with mental disorders are not able to live fruitful lives. Everything is weird in the world of these people, from waking up in the morning to sleeping at night, almost their every thought gives them fear, anxiety and much more I guess. But then there's a quote that states, "Where their is Life, their is Hope." 

Many celebrities and sportspersons have come and expressed their personal stories to the world and

said that there is nothing to be ashamed of if you are dealing with psychological issues and one such example is an Indian actress 'Deepika Padukone' who shared her depression story to the whole world and now serving through her The 'Live Love Laugh' Foundation situated in Bengaluru which aims to support mental health victims and creates mental health awareness. However celebrities such as Robin Williams, Avicii and many more were not so lucky.

From my personal experience and observation, I think neurologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists all should come up together to find suitable treatments for such mental disorders, otherwise to be honest no change will occur in this world because not everyone is lucky enough to get treatment and such moral support. The quote I used to say myself is "I have OCD but OCD does not have me."
