Being in medical/dental/pharma fields there might be students who fail in one or more subjects and may feel very depressed and low.
The student may not be able to share it to his/her friend or Professor due to personal reasons and due to the competitive atmosphere
If a student is feeling depressed from a long period of time, and is unable to handle it with stress coping mechanisms, If it is impacting his/her daily activities,
seeking help from a Doctor who is trained in mental health is the best way to go about it.

Absolutely correct.
But most of the students don’t understand the need of the psychiatrists and that’s a sad part. I think, mainly because of the taboos or they are afraid.
Mental health is as important as the physical health. More Awareness and priority should be given to it.

Yes.
Even today, consulting a psychiatrist is still a taboo in our country. To preserve their societal image, many patients and their families tend to hide their concerns related to mental health and well-being.

Normalizing mental health care is crucial. Meeting a psychiatrist is just like visiting any other doctor – it’s a step towards taking care of your well-being. By reducing stigma and promoting open conversations, we can encourage more people to seek help when needed. Prioritizing mental health is essential for overall wellness.
