16th March,2024, Mumbai: Actress Sheleen Dutt claims that the stress and anxiety in our life nowadays is the root cause of many mental health problems. The actress, who last appeared in KINK and Honey Trap Squad, thinks it’s wonderful to see that, in addition to mental health problems, there is now more awareness of mental health therapies.
Discussions about depression and mental health have gained traction since the Covid outbreak and the lockdowns that followed. Many people have experienced difficulties with their mental health as a result of the difficulties of loneliness, uncertainty, and dread, she claims.
Sherleen Dutt on the people becoming more comfortable while talking about mental health issues
She continues, “There’s no doubt that teens are now part of the conversation around mental health. Young people are becoming more comfortable about talking about their challenges and realising the importance of mental wellness. Observing this change in acceptance and knowledge is encouraging.
But you have to be careful when disclosing your deepest emotions to anyone, she advises. Sharing can be beneficial and therapeutic, but it’s crucial to set limits and watch out for oversharing. Although vulnerability can be a strength, it’s also necessary to guard against being taken advantage of or manipulated. It’s important to strike a balance between vulnerability and self-defense, she explains.
How she manages her own mental health?
“I personally prioritise my mental health by practicing self-care routines such as meditation, exercise, spending time with loved ones, and seeking professional support when needed,” she responds when you ask how she looks after her mental well-being. It’s critical that I pay attention to my personal needs and take initiative to look after my mental health.
