M y colleagues are regularly trying to prove me as ‗mad‘. But I know I will
live my life well because of my successes and achievements. I have ended
relations with those who try to harass me. Since I was chosen by the
management and transferred to a better city, some people are opposing me
and torturing me.
My so-called relatives are also jealous of me. But I promise to live a better life
and not think about suicide. I am leading a pious life but my parents are
worried that I have depression. I am thankful to my God for making me learn
how to live life with my hobbies of poetry, writing scripts and singing religious
songs. Thanks for this episode on depression.

I live in the US. I suffer from a mental illness. I was diagnosed when I was 17
but it wasn‘t until now that I could talk to some people about it. As far as my
professional career goes, I would never mention my illness at my office as it
could be misconstrued.
Living with a mental illness is a struggle. It‘s difficult to maintain your mental
stability every day. For me, it‘s a daily battle and I‘ve given up a lot to keep my
mental health and sanity. I want to know more about how Indians living in
India cope with such diseases, how they talk about it in their professional lives
and how their family supports them with the daily trials and tribulations.

I am a student from Ahmedabad. I have been depressed because of my
studies. Mujhe hamesha suicide ke thoughts aate hai. Life se interest uth gaya
hai. Study mein bhi main concentrate nahi kar pa rahi hoon. Main ghar se
door hostel mein rehkar study karti hoon. Kisi cheez mein mann nahi lagta.
