  Stress is still a taboo in India, and people choose not to speak about it. We still think that going to a physiatrist means that the person is ‘ mad ‘. forget about the consequences of not removing this taboo, but the effect of ignoring is worse.  We live in  the 21th century, and we live in a world where 45% of teenagers suffer from stress, anxiety and other similar diseases. Many times when we teenagers open up about stress, we are smirked and said ‘you are a kid, what are you having to worry about? You just have to play and enjoy and you are talking about having stress !’. Even many times, we think the same to ourselves and try to bury this weight inside.

  Stressing is so stressful but thinking about not stressing makes you stress even more. Earlier, getting an education was for the privileged children, most of which belonging to high castes. That was the story of India in the past. However now, completing your schooling and getting a degree is the bare minimum one can expect. These expectations change to exhaustion of energy.

But all these needs may only be fulfilled with struggle, hard work, and loads of mental power. This is where stress comes in.

I want to let you know, that mental health is a topic that people are now learning about and not neglecting, but the wrong information c...
