Actor Prateik Chaudhary says that healthy physical health also goes a long way in caring for mental health. He says that good mental health is essential for survival.
“Mental health is everything. I mean, if you are mentally stable, only you will be able to function and do all the other activities. Otherwise, you will not be able to concentrate or focus on anything like work, personal life, etc. So it’s very important to have good mental health,” he says, adding, “Physical health is also very important in maintaining positive mental health. . I mean fitness or yoga or meditation or any other physical activity really helps mental health a lot.”
The actor says that mental health should be considered as important as any other physical health issue. “Mental health is important and one should not just avoid it. If it is serious, see a doctor as well. One can do many things to take care of their mental health; be positive, stay busy, hang out with friends, family, talk to those close to you about your concerns. And also, the most important thing is to keep faith in oneself and in God and in prayers,” he says.
Speaking of the entertainment industry, he says that since actors are public figures, their problems come to light easily. “Everyone deals with depression and anxiety. It’s very common, but no one talks about it, I guess. Our entertainment industry is run primarily because it’s visible and nothing is personal anymore. We are public figures. I guess each individual has their own struggles. But depression and stress can happen to anyone in any industry,” she concludes.
