Sushant Singh Rajput's tragedy speaks about wider mental health challenge: Experts
New Delhi/UNI: Even as the shocking suicide of actor Shushant Singh Rajput or some other same 'steps' are completely individual acts, it speaks to the wider mental health challenge of the pandemic times.
This was observed here on Saturday by experts, belonging to Psychology and other major fields, who maintained that Covid times gave birth to 'heightened' mental health challenge.
" Beyond the physical threat, this virus together with the containment strategies it compels, is causing deep hurt to our ineffable inner selves- call it soul or hearts and minds," they said, emphasising that such 'inner attack' is instrumental behind the 'instant acts.'
" Covid-19 is not only a physical threat, but also mental which can be confronted with only a two-pronged strategy," the experts remarked.
Mental health services in country were highly inadequate even before the pandemic.
