We are a non-profit organization that aims to
destigmatize Mental Health by spreading Awareness

For over 20 years, we have been committed to make people
aware about Mental Health around the world.

We cannot achieve our goals on our own. We work together with businesses,
government, and nonprofits, and each partner plays a specific role in accelerating progress.

What is Mental Health?

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.
It affects how we think, feel, and act.

It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence
through adulthood. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, poor mental health
and mental illness are not the same.

A person can experience poor mental health and not be diagnosed with a mental illness.

Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience periods of
physical, mental, and social well-being.

Why is mental health important for overall health?

Mental and physical health are equally important components of overall health.

For example, depression increases the risk for many types of physical health problems,
particularly long-lasting conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

Similarly, the presence of chronic conditions can increase the risk for mental illness.

Reasons to care for Mental Health

Maintaining a positive mental health and treating any mental health conditions is crucial
to stabilizing constructive behaviors, emotions, and thoughts.

Focusing on mental health care can increase productivity, enhance our self-image, and improve relationships.

For example, heart disease and stress are related to Mental Health,
So managing stress might have a positive outcome on heart disease.

Other benefits of taking care of our mental health can include:

• Improving one's mood.

• Reducing Anxiety.

• Creating an enhanced sense of inner peace.

• Thinking more clearly.

• Improving relationships & increasing one's self esteem.

Signs You Need To See A Therapist (And How To Find The Right One?)

We all experience stress, anxiety, mood swings and other forms of emotional distress at one point or another in our lives.

Whether it's because of a professional setback, rejection, financial issues, relationships, personal loss or some other reason.

Maybe you're feeling low or empty and are unable to "snap out of it". Or, maybe you're noticing certain negative patterns in your lifestyle that you can't seem to break.

Sometimes the signs of mental or emotional distress are obvious. But at other times, they are harder to pinpoint.

What is Psychotherapy?

Often, people freak out when they hear the word "therapy".

But contrary to common misconception, psychotherapy isn't just for those who are struggling with mental illness.
It can be beneficial for anyone who is experiencing stress, intense emotions or life transitions and wants to improve their life.

The main types of psychotherapy include:

1. Interpersonal Psychotherapy
   (Centers on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning of an individual)

2. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy
   (Used for treating depression, PTSD and other psychological disorders)

3. Cognitive analytical therapy
   (Emphasizes on investigating past behaviour and belief, negative behavioural patterns, etc.)

4. Systemic psychotherapy
   (analyzes interactions and dynamics of people in relationships, eg: couples therapy)

5. Humanistic therapy
   (focuses on developing a strong sense of self and reaching one's potential)

Should you see a Therapist?

It's important to remember that reaching out is not a sign of weakness, but a significant step toward the path of self-care.

And the sooner you seek help, the faster you can get back on track.

Here are nine critical signs it's time to get professional help, according to mental health experts:

• You're having difficulty regulating your emotions.

• You aren't performing as effectively at work or school.

• You're experiencing changes or disruptions in sleep or appetite.
