‘Book a session’: Mohib Mirza’s advice on mental health

In today’s busy world, mental health is more important than ever, yet it is an issue that is often overlooked. Stress, anxiety, and emotional struggles affect everyone, but getting help from a professional can really make a big difference in handling these problems.

Recently, actor Mohib Mirza appeared as a guest on Fuchsia Magazine, where he talked about the importance of young men addressing their stress and seeking help when needed.

“I’m talking about all this for the boys who might be listening,” he specified.

“I don’t know if they’re watching this episode now or will watch it in the future, but if you’re listening, boys, don’t ever think that seeking help will make you uncool or anything like that.

“If you’re stressed, whether it’s because of studies, family issues, or a relationship, book a session. I understand you might think it’s expensive or whatever, but this is something you need to do,” he said.

“Sorting things out on your own can be tough, especially when you’ve taken my help several times already. You know, I keep guiding you, but a psychiatrist or psychologist actually gives you a break, which is part of their job. So, never impose this on anyone else; there needs to be acceptance of it”, Mirza added.

The host, Rabia Mughni, asked, “Why did you go to therapy? What made you think of going?”

The Shehr-e Zaat actor replied, “People may or may not understand, but the pressure of work, that’s something people with jobs will relate to.”

“Now, I’m the director, an actor in it, and I have a brilliant team of 10 people around me. That’s a huge responsibility. Plus, I’m an overthinker. I overanalyse everything,” he added.

Currently, Mohib Mirza is starring in the drama serial Jafaa, directed by Danish Nawaz and written by Samira Fazal. It airs on HUM TV on Friday at 8:00 PM
