5.0
Shhh! Don't talk about mental health by Arjun Gupta gives an insight into the effect of mental disorder on one's health and the GDP of a country. He covers the aspect of why it is necessary to talk about it.
Yashasvi at the age of 19 suffer from clinical depression, and it took him two long years before he could start his perpetuate improvement. The story focuses on the history of depression, clique theories, and the mentality of society towards the sufferer. Back in 500 to 1400 CE, people believed that the mind of a mentally ill was possessed by a demon and the priests made a hole in the skull would be considered a treatment. In 1247, Bethlem hospital was established in London for the mentally sick, but they were chained, beaten, and experimented on.
The ill-treatment towards those people is still going on. Although, they have not beaten or chained today and the more sophisticated methods have been used, but they still called by the names like insane, wild, and unstable. Their family, friends, and society abandon them or keep their distance, which makes them more alone.
The book deals with a notion which is not considered paramount. The difference between mental and physical illness, emotional intelligence, the biopsychosocial model, the role of media and movies played, the stigma and stress comes with the disorder are explained in a subtle language. When the voices in your head become your worst enemy, the pain is unbearable. The emotional outbursts, angriness, and suicidal thoughts make a person more miserable and vulnerable. So instead of telling them to get over with it or get a life, try to understand their situation. Don't ignore, rant, or scold them. Talk to them when they are comfortable and ready. This book will work as radiance in the life of its readers. I would recommend it to all people.
