Mental Health of our generation
As promised in the answer of a question in our
Mental Health Quora – we are giving a detailed
answer of the question in our blog.
The question being – “What is the issue for our
generation to have such bad mental health as a
whole?”
This is undoubtedly a very apt and deep question.
Hence, we decided to not just answer it on quora but
also write a blog about the same.
The first thing here is to understand that it is very
important for every person to know and understand
what mental health is. To accept the fact that there
really is something called mental health and it is
important to people regardless of age, gender or
generation. And clearly, we as a society lack that.
We lack to acknowledge the fact that mental health
is important. We also lack accepting that mental
illness is just as any physical illness that can be
cured if not run away from it.
The next important thing to consider is Nature and
Nurture of an individual. The nature we are growing in
today does not actually have anything natural left. It
affects our mental health to a very bad extent. And the
nurturing we have is filled with so many things, where
our parents do not value or acknowledge our emotions.
And it all actually starts right there.
This actively demonstrates that it is the issue to be
keenly taken care of.

better mental health? Tell us in the comments below.
