Actress Nadia Afgan has given a message to her fans to look out for people suffering from mental health problems, listen to them and help them.
Nadia took to Instagram and shared a video in which she said, “I’m sure most of you know that September is suicide prevention month, so this month, keep an eye out for those around you who are suffering from depression, anxiety and mental health issues.”
Stressing the need for people to look out for others, Nadia added, “There are many people in the society who are going through many problems, they don’t even have any knowledge about their mental health, there is a need to keep an eye on such people and listen to them.”
“When you see people with mental problems, talk to friends and family, reassure them that they are not alone, even a word from you can give them courage.”
Mental health is everyone’s problem and all of us are affected by mental health directly or indirectly, so there is a need to understand such problems and support each other, the actress said.
“People suffering from mental problems need to be provided with a safe place where they can overcome their fears and express their feelings and explain their problems,” she said, emphasizing the need to have a safe space.
