Mental health has been one of the toughest subjects to talk about for decades. But thanks to awareness programs and more celebrities talking about their mental health, the stigma around it has normalised to a certain degree. On World Mental Health Day, doctors and medical professionals call for awareness and urge people to keep conversations going to remove the taboo attached to it.
According to Dr Ramon Llamba, a professional life and business coach, physical health often takes its roots in our mental well-being. “It is important that mental and emotional health are much more important than emotional health. Any physical problem that happens in our body has its roots in our minds and our emotions. Educating ourselves about this is the key thing and normalising,” she said.
