I am from Rourkela, Odisha. I am 28 years old. When I was 22, I had a panic

attack in my hostel during the night before my semester exams. I realised then
that I suffer from anxiety disorder and at times, depression. I can‘t enter a
closed lift or fly in an airplane. Also, I can‘t stay away from my parents at night
or in another city.

I am an animator from Hyderabad. I was also suffering from depression for

eight years and then I came out of this just because of meditation. It really
helps.
-Arvin Namam

I am always open about me being depressed and even taking treatment for it.

People think that going to a psychiatrist is shameful. We must deal with this.
-Vijaya Negi

I was depressed and so fragile. Going through the kind of incidents that I did

in life, anybody would have become crazy. I can‘t unfortunately change my life
and cry over spilt milk but I‘m looking forward to a great future.
