World Mental Health Day Focuses on Raising Awareness

World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10 every year, aiming to raise awareness of mental health issues and initiate discussions about them. Several Bollywood celebrities, including Deepika Padukone, Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, and others, have been vocal about their mental health struggles and battles. Now, Aamir Khan and his daughter Ira Khan join this conversation by sharing a video message promoting mental health awareness and therapy.

Aamir Khan Emphasizes the Importance of Seeking Help

In their video, Aamir Khan emphasizes the idea that just as we seek help from teachers to learn math or visit professionals for haircuts, there are tasks that require assistance from trained individuals. Aamir highlights that, similarly, when it comes to mental or emotional health, seeking help from mental health experts is crucial. He openly shares that he and Ira have been benefiting from therapy for several years.

No Shame in Seeking Professional Help

Aamir Khan, in the video, states, “Meri beti Ira aur main pichhle kai saal se therapy ka laabh utha rahe hain. Aur agar aapko lagta hai aap bhi maansik ya jazbaati takleefon se guzar rahe hain, to aap bhi kisi aise vyakti ko dhund sakte hai jo professional hai, trained hai, jo aapki madad kar sakta hai. Isme koi sharam nahi hai” (My daughter Ira and I have been seeking therapy for many years now and have been benefiting greatly from it. If you think you are also going through mental or emotional issues, then you should also seek a trained mental health expert who can help you. There’s no shame in it).

Positive Fan Reactions

Fans reacted positively to the video, thanking Aamir and Ira for discussing mental health openly. One fan commented, “This is Beautiful thank you for doing this,” while another one wrote, “It’s great to see celebrities using their platform to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. Their openness and support can inspire many to seek help and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health issues. #MentalHealthMatters.”

Encouraging Professional Help

The video concludes with a disclaimer urging those who know someone experiencing mental health challenges to reach out to nearby doctors, mental health experts, or NGOs for immediate assistance. Helplines are also recommended for those in need.

In an industry often marked by silence on mental health, Aamir Khan and Ira Khan’s open conversation about therapy serves as an important step in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
