Understanding Mental Health: Real Stories, Real Solutions

 Mental health affects millions, yet many people silently struggle every day. As a clinical psychologist, I meet individuals from all walks of life—students facing academic pressure, professionals dealing with anxiety, and parents managing stress. Each story is unique, and every person deserves understanding and support.


One young student came to me feeling constantly anxious, unable to focus on studies, and socially withdrawn. After a few sessions of therapy, they learned practical strategies to manage anxiety, improve focus, and rebuild confidence. Today, they actively participate in college life and feel more in control of their emotions.


Stories like this remind us that mental health challenges are not a weakness—they are part of life. Early recognition, seeking help, and professional guidance—even through a few sessions—can make a significant difference. Therapy is about learning coping strategies, understanding oneself, and building resilience.


If you or someone you know is struggling, reaching out for support is the first step. Mental health is essential for overall well-being, and seeking help is a sign of strength.

Why Emotions Run Wild: The Truth About Borderline Personality Disorder

  Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD, is a mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves, especially in relationships and daily life. People with BPD often experience very strong emotions that can change quickly. They may feel extremely happy one moment and very sad, angry, or anxious the next, even without any clear reason. One of the main struggles of people with BPD is a deep fear of being abandoned by the people they care about. This fear can make them act in ways that push others away, even if they don’t want to. Their relationships with family, friends, or partners may feel like a roller coaster — very intense and unstable. At times, they may feel that someone is the best person in the world, and soon after, they may think that same person doesn’t care about them at all. People with BPD often do impulsive things, such as spending too much money, driving recklessly, or abusing alcohol or drugs. These actions can feel like a way to cope with ...

How Internet Addiction Almost Cost Rahul His Career – A Hidden Struggle Many Don’t Talk About

  Rahul was once an ambitious young professional, full of dreams. After graduating with top marks, he landed a good job in a tech company. Everything seemed perfect. But over time, something started to change—not in the workplace, but in his personal habits. It began innocently. Checking social media during breaks, watching videos after work to relax, and browsing the internet in his free time. Slowly, Rahul’s casual habit turned into a constant need. Every free moment was spent scrolling endlessly, watching videos, or playing online games. His productivity at work started to decline. Tasks that once took him an hour now dragged into days. He missed deadlines and meetings because he was too absorbed in the virtual world. His manager noticed his slipping performance and warned him several times. But Rahul couldn’t stop. The urge to stay connected online felt uncontrollable. His relationships also began to suffer. Phone calls with family became shorter. Conversations with frien...
