Hyderabad: Senior homoeopathic doctor, Dr. Gannamraju Durga Prasad Rao, shared that being mentally healthy is a great blessing in today’s world.
Speaking on the occasion of World Mental Health Day, which was observed on Thursday, Dr. Rao highlighted the impact of poor mental health. He explained that mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, phobias, mania, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, delusions, sleep disorders, and addiction are making people weaker.
Dr. Rao also pointed out that there is a social stigma surrounding mental illness. He said that people suffering from mental health problems often face discrimination and are treated unfairly. Many patients are hesitant to seek medical help due to fear of judgment, which makes the situation even more serious and sensitive.
