Mental health Issues :

According to the National Crime Records Bureau report, the numbers are alarming.

The Report states that 4 out of 10 (4/10) students in Kota are facing mental health issues.

According to surveys, 34 children are taking their own lives every day. This number is increasing.

On one hand, India has reached the moon, but on the other hand, parents still want to secure their children's careers.

The competition in jobs is also increasing, adding to the pressure on children.

In the city of Kota, Rajasthan, students from all over the country come to prepare for competitive exams.

Every year, cases of suicide come to light here. By 2023, 25 children have already committed suicide.

Recently, a 16-year-old student's suicide case came to light. She had been preparing for the NEET exam in Kota for the past 5 months.

Clinical psychologist, Mimansa Singh Tanwar, explains how we can prevent children from taking such drastic steps.

Rapidly Increasing Cases :

Dr. Mimansa points out that in this digital age, children are rapidly facing mental health challenges.

Hormonal changes and the stress of career are depressing children.

In the era of social media, children are growing up faster than their age. In such circumstances, we need to understand our children as friends and teach them how to confront their challenges.

Pressure of Studies and Bullying
From a young age :

Children are facing increased pressure to study.

Additionally, bullying and a lack of self-confidence are causing distress among children.

Social media is also affecting their minds.

Anger and depression are rapidly increasing among children.

Preventing Suicide :

Parents should treat their children as friends and teach them to keep trying and how to solve problems.

Children should be taught how to recognize stress.

Seek Help Without Hesitation :

Young people should openly discuss their mental health with parents, siblings, friends, or anyone they trust, without any hesitation.

Share on Social Media:

Psychologists suggest that children who are dealing with academic pressure, bullying, or any mental stress can share their experiences on social media. When people share their experiences related to mental health with those around them, depression decreases.

Additionally, you can get help from experts.
