World Mental Health Day: Karan Johar recalls his first experience of anxiety in 2015-16; educates about “red flag conversations”
Karan Johar, one of the most successful filmmakers in Bollywood, has opened up about his struggles with mental health on the occasion of World Mental Health Day.
In a heartfelt post on social media, Johar revealed that he first experienced anxiety in 2015-16. He sought help from a psychologist and was able to manage his condition with medication and lifestyle changes. However, in March this year, he felt the anxiety returning.
“This year in March this year ( I knew the trigger ) it returned and I knew I had to address it immediately…. For someone who does battle anxiety or depression “simple solutions like “ … go for a drive !!! Meet friends !! Go for a holiday …. Get a massage … these are red flag conversations to have and you must be educated enough in this zone to even offer advice,” read an excerpt of his note.
Johar urged people to be educated about mental health and to seek professional help if they are struggling. He also advised family members to support their loved ones and to not neglect mental health.
"To family members, my advice is simply to make sure that the person going through it seeks professional help," he wrote. "We tend to address blood pressure, diabetes, etc with so much instant ease then why neglect mental health."
Johar's post has resonated with many people, who have taken to social media to share their own stories of struggling with mental health. Johar's bravery in speaking out about his own experiences is helping to raise awareness of mental health and to encourage people to seek help.
