Dr Aman Kapoor's video: Mind does Matter : Give your Mental Health as much a priority as physical health

Mental health ailments are not taboo!! This is what needs to be pushed to all people. Mental illnesses are like any other illnesses like cold or flu. We need a consolidated effort to get everyone to accept Mental illnesses as they accept physical ones. It should be destigmatised so that the people affected accept that something is wrong and take the treatment, as they would take treatment for any other condition On the other hand, getting quality care and counselling is exceedingly difficult and still out of reach for most of the population of India and rather the world. Mental health care is not just about medicines but majorly about proper early diagnosis, early counselling where possible and medical treatment where needed. Access to mental health care must be made easy. All healthcare practitioners must be trained to diagnose and start proper intervention at primary health care level itself. Workplace, educational institutions and home-based mental health issues must be addressed openly Let’s pledge together this World Mental Health Day to Say that “Mind Does Matter” @AyushmnaNHA @wfmhworldfederationforment3412 @who @NIHgov @MyGovIndia @Madhavbaug @madhavbaugwellness7545 @HealthAffairsJournal @pmoindia
