Talking about mental health I want to share something personal.i have seen it in my home.my brother has been suffering from depression since he was a teenager he showed signs of depression but my parents could not understand it at first back then there was not much awareness about mental health.few years later only then things got worse my parents realised that he needed professional help and took him to psychiatrist he was on medication for many years and almost recovered completely.then one day he stopped his medication saying I am fine now I don't need medicines anymore.still he was fine for some years without medication then he again showed signs of depression also had insomnia he would be awake whole night but he refused to go to doctor my parents tried a lot but couldn't take him.when his condition worsened they forcibly took him to doctor and he was diagnosed again now it has been two years he has been on medication and has got better.
I felt like sharing this.if someone has any issues they should share it with family/friend and it should not be ignored like my parents did.if someond is on medication they should not stop it on their own.someone should be with them and make sure they take medicines.these things me and my family has learnt.
