People never talked about the importance of mental health, it was something a normal topic, for some people just an overthinking and that’s where they lack. Knowingly or unknowingly we ignore the most important thing to be discussed, but in 2020 because of the lockdown when people got self-inspection time, they realized it what’s there mental state is.

We have seen a lot of suicide news during that time, the major reason was unstable and ignorance of mental health. When a person is disturbed and shares his/her issues with someone, but the other person has no idea of what is mental health and suggests the sufferer person not to overreact, which becomes the step towards depression.
