Why we escape from mental illnesses? Even if we are afflicted with one or any of our loved ones is diagnosed with it, what’s the big fuss all about? If a dysfunctional Kidney requires dialysis, similarly a discordant mind needs therapy and medication. Life is not without tumultuous experiences and the trauma attached to inconceivable circumstances can sometimes be a final nail in the coffin. A corrigendum in the mind, its functioning, nevertheless needs to be corrected. The taboos around mental illnesses are a perfidy to one’s own existence and the concomitant emotions. Mental disturbance of any kind is an emotional journey and should be addressed by accepting it and being treated for it.
