Shama Sikandar: It is very important to take care of mental health

- ‘I am a very spiritual person and I needed a lot of medical treatment, which came to be over the years. Because of that I can handle this situation better.

'The state of mental health in our country is very worrying, but no one pays enough attention to it. Some people suffer from depression and bipolar disorder, 'says actress Shama Sikandar and is very talkative about it. It is only when an epidemic-like situation arises that many people turn their attention to this problem.

"Everyone was talking about mental health when the last lockdown was imposed in 2020 because they suddenly realized that this was very important. As the lockdown came to an end, everyone forgot about it. Such a thing is of no use, 'he said.

When the second wave of Kovid-12 reverberated across the country, people's attention was once again focused on mental health and it started to be discussed again. The actress is insisting on discussing this on a daily basis. ‘I recently saw a big celebrity in Bollywood revive the discussion around mental health. Suddenly the issue came to the fore and people started discussing it. Even so, I noticed that the conversation continued throughout the year. It should be time to talk about this, whether there is a lockdown or not, 'he said.

9-year-old Shama Sikandar believes, "Everyone should make sure everyone is fine at the time of this test. Even if you are busy with global affairs and think you are good, you are not well. You need to recover. People are distracted. "I was surprised to learn that mental health is the most important thing and not just during difficult times," he said.

The actress herself is also recovering now and she wants to recommend the way she is recovering to others. ‘I am a very spiritual person and I needed a lot of medical treatment, which took years to come. Because of that I can handle this situation better. Tragedy has befallen us and our lives have been reassured. We need to stop all this and understand the values ​​of life and what it has to offer us, ”he said.
