In a world plagued with tons of problems, be it emotional or financial, sometimes solutions end up getting blurred. Suicide refers to the act of self-harm. Lack of proper communication with loved ones can lead to such crucial steps. Metal health has always been a subject of extreme scorn in the Indian society. We always prioritize physical health over mental health. Be it a teenager, or aa working professional – anyone can face mental health related problems, and are indeed facing so. Suicidal tendencies and depression are closely linked, as both are highly intertwined. A society where a young adolescent is compelled to take extreme measures is highly detrimental.
When individuals study in school, peer pressure, academic pressure make it difficult for kids to have a healthy social and educational life. Issues like bullying, and the forced pressure of working way too hard before semester exams take a detrimental toll on the psyche. On the contrary, in case of working people, workplace stress or workplace harassment can lead to massive depression. The digitalization of the world has compelled people to stay more focused on devices instead of real communication. Suicidal tendencies appear at the extreme end of the depression streak, and can easily be avoided with a little help.
