Mental
Health
is
increasingly
being
recognized
as
being
just
as
important
as
physical
health.
Many
celebrities
are
trying
to
reduce
the
stigma
attached
to
mental
health
by
sharing
their
own
experiences.
The
latest
to
hop
on
the
bandwagon
is
Actor
Amit
Sadh,
who
opened
up
about
the
intense
period
of
mental
health
struggle
that
he
went
through
when
he
was
a
teenager,
and
even
admitted
that
he
tried
taking
his
life
a
few
times.
He
shared
that
he
eventually
developed
a
'never
give
up'
attitude
and
said
that
he
is
currently
much
more
stable
emotionally.
Speaking
to
Mens
XP,
Amit
said,
"Between
the
age
of
16
and
18,
I
tried
committing
suicide
four
times.
I
didn't
have
suicidal
thoughts.
I
just
went
to
commit
suicide,
there
was
no
planning.
I
just
woke
up
one
day
and
tried
and
tried
again
and
again
and
again.
Then
by
God's
grace,
the
fourth
time,
the
last
time
I
did,
I
knew
that
this
is
not
the
way
and
this
is
not
the
end.
And
things
changed.
My
mindset
changed.
And
since
then,
it
has
evolved
and
the
philosophy
of
'never
giving
up'
came
in
me."
He
continued,
"I
didn't
overcome
it
all
in
one
day
-
took
me
20
years!
I
just
found
one
thing
for
sure
-
this
is
not
the
end.
Life
is
a
gift.
So,
the
day
I
understood
this,
I
started
living
it.
I
feel
blessed
and
fortunate
that
I'm
on
the
other
side
of
the
white
light.
Now
I
have
a
lot
of
compassion,
love
and
empathy
for
people
who
become
weak."
Talking
about
how
he
was
noticeably
'frazzled'
during
his
appearance
on
the
reality
show
Bigg
Boss,
Amit
said,
"I
am
in
a
happier
place
now
and
more
stable
emotionally.
I've
never
lied
or
hidden.
The
whole
country
saw
my
journey
in
the
reality
show
Bigg
Boss.
I
was
so
frazzled
and
lost
in
it."
Well,
the
recent
death
of
actor
Sushant
Singh
Rajput
stirred
up
a
debate
about
mental
health
too,
but
the
conversation
soon
went
haywire
with
netizens
and
some
celebrities
arguing
that
mental
health
had
nothing
to
do
with
his
death,
and
mocking
other
celebrities
who
had
opened
up
about
their
own
struggles.
