WHY BEING QUIET IS NO LONGER AN OPTION

BOOK NAME- 
Shhh! DON'T TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH 
                                                                        WHY BEING QUIET  IS NO LONGER AN OPTION

In the 19th year of his life, Yashasvi tried to end his life. Follow the journey of Yashasvi and millions of other people who are tormented by their own minds. This is not a self-help book. Mental health is no longer just about helping yourself. It is a movement against an invisible crisis that breeds inside our minds. A crisis that makes you question the voice in your head. Yes, the same voice that is reading this out to you.
True stories, research, statistics and facts. This book will convince you why mental health cannot be just about self-help anymore, and why people like Yashasvi need our help.

AUTHOR NAME- ARJUN GUPTA (He is a mental health activist. He has been raising mental health awareness through his blog and youtube channel for 2 years, after having battled severe clinical depression between 2015 and 2017).

PUBLISHING YEAR- 2019



The  cover of the book is  featuring three monkeys which means speak no evil, see no evil and hear no evil.

Through a story, the author makes his point that how crucial it is to reconsider our perspective regarding mental health. According to him depression is as real as cancer or flu or a broken arm.


The book has been divided into six sections –

SECTION I

From Possessed to Depressed


SECTION II

Defining Mental Health


SECTION III

Understanding Mental Illness


SECTION IV

For and against Mental Health Awareness


SECTION V

Stigma- A Silent Weapon


SECTION VI

The Dull Golden bird


The extensive research is full of facts, figures and substantial data.

 

Especially loved this line " You don’t ask a person with cancer to get over it but you expect the same from a person with depression". 


Nothing can summarise it better than this line. As a society we have two very polar takes on depression. Either we completely avoid them or we start overstress and calling ourselves to go through a depression. There's no in between.


The author makes it evident that if sufferers don’t work to improve their condition then consultations and medications won’t work either.


Overall, this book provides you full information about mental illnesses and leaves you inspired too.


You can buy this book from- https://www.amazon.in/, www.flipkart.com


Thankyou😊

* निराश न होना, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं' * -🖋 देवांश

|| निराश न होना, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं' || बीतेगा ये पल भी, तू निराश तो नहीं,  कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है,  'तू नहीं'। माना हालत थोड़ी नासाज़ है, सहमा हुआ हर इंसान है, पर जज़्बा जिंदा रहने का तू खोना नहीं, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है, 'तू नहीं'। माना कि दिल रोया है, जब किसी ने किसी अपने को खोया है। दिल से टूटा जरूर है, पर हिम्मत तू छोड़ना नहीं, विश्वास रख, कमज़ोर तेरा वक्त है,  'तू नहीं'। 🖋 देवांश

DRINK H2O

"जलं जीवनम् अस्ति " As we all know that water is an essential part of our life and we also know that drinking water keeps the body toxin free. An average person loses 3 to 4 liters of fluid in a day .The factors contributing for losing water from the body are sweat, urine, breathing and bowel movements. Proper hydration is essential for good health. You need to make up for the water losses by consuming sufficient water. It is said that hiccups is a symptom that indicates water level is low in the system. Grab a glass of water and yes…you have put a stop to the hiccup. How much water should you drink? Forget the simple math — eight glasses a day isn’t the answer. And forget the complicated math, too — half your body weight in ounces isn’t right, either. In fact, there’s no formula that gives you the magic number for hydration. “It’s really dependent on your individual needs,” said Tyler Florek, a registered dietitian nutritionist at Banner Health. How many calories you eat, ho...
