#mental health Conditions don’t discriminate, and neither should we. @Nawazuddin_S Your voice can be heard for good and bad.
Depression is a reality for everyone.

talk to Mashable IndiaNawazuddin said (translated from Hindi): “I come from a place where if I told my father that I was depressed, he would slap me and put me to work. No one in the village is depressed. Not everyone is happy. Since coming to this city, I have learned about anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder. All these things happen in the city. Everyone glorifies their feelings here. Workers and sidewalk dwellers dance when it rains. They know nothing about depression. The more money you make, the more sick you get. “
Nawazuddin’s idea that the pressures and isolation of city life are related to mental illness may not be entirely wrong. The problem is the ease with which mental health struggles are ignored, the simplistic view of depression, and the generalization of rural life.
