Bigg Boss OTT 2 Star Falaq Naaz: The Issue Of Mental Health Awareness Is Not Being Addressed

With so many cases of suicide nowadays, actress Falaq Naaz says that something needs to be done to help those around us. She says that awareness needs to be created and judgement needs to be diminished to eradicate this.

"The major cause of suicide is mental health awareness, I feel that people nowadays rush so much, they take so much stress in their lives, and overthink a lot. People have so much stress about how others are spending their time online. It's come to a point where everyone is online, they're all watching, and everyone seems to be doing well. They are not sharing their problems with others, and so the issue of mental health awareness is not being addressed," she says.

She adds, "For example, if I'm stressed and I want to talk to someone, I'll think about it 50 times. I feel like people who are into mental awareness need to pay attention to the fact that if there's no one around to listen, you should consult a doctor or a counsellor. I believe that seeking help is not madness; it's taking care of yourself. Just as we take vitamins, minerals, and calcium to fulfill deficiencies in our bodies, our brains are also a part of our body. If natural development is not occurring in the brain, then we should seek help in the form of medication or treatment."

Taking help is very necessary, she says, adding, "In our industry, there are many instances where society news comes out, and I feel that mental awareness is very important. If there is no one around you to talk to, you should consult a better consultant or doctor. I think that will help. It can be very helpful in life. Additionally, there is yoga, but there are limitations, and there are times when a person feels so troubled that they don't feel like doing anything, even talking to people becomes difficult. Sharing knowledge is very easy. Do yoga, and meditate, and you will feel better. But what if you don't even feel like getting up at that time? That's when a doctor or medication helps you to stay happy."
