Mental Health @ The state of emergency

Just a few years ago Anxiety, Depression were as rare as Cancer but now have become as frequent as Common Cold. The mental state of a average person has hit huge fluctuations taking a toll on us. Right from your office desk to your bedroom conversations stress levels have reached an all time high and are increasing at a rapid pace. An average 14 year old teenager has the same stress levels as a mentally ill prisoner in 1965.

What’s gone wrong in this generation?

It’s simple- overgrowing population and the rapid pace of technological developments. The basic purpose for Human Survival and it’s existence- Food, Water, Shelter, Relationships, Education and Healthcare. Everything of these has become complicated and difficult to access.

Our food is junk and artificial loaded with chemicals, cities are running out of water, owning a house will sink you into huge debts, people are living out of egos, basic education cost fortunes and falling sick drills holes down your pockets. We are complicating our own lives with social pressure and unnecessary lifestyle.

The rat race has taken a heavy toll on our lives as our primary goal is to earn money competing against each other but our health takes a back seat leading to physical and mental sufferings. Right from the start of your basic education, there’s a pool of pressure to get set for a perfect life and it reaches a certain new level as you start working, as today’s corporates suck out the life of an employee to make huge profits and throw away a mere salary.

There’s always a failure you can win over later, there’s always a debt you can pay off, there’s always a broken heart you can patch up, there’s always an expectation you can clear off, but never ever take it to the mind and kill yourself.

“Sometimes we choose the difficult path because we think that in order to have important things, we must take the difficult path. One thinks that it’s important to punish oneself.

But WHY?Why not choose the easy way out?What’s wrong in doing that? Especially when we’re not ready to accept the problem”
