    Unwarranted quarantine on an adolescent has taken an innocent playful life! Elsewhere, a news report says he was covid -ve!!

    Anxiety & depression are on the rise along with joblessness/loss in businesses & hunger, which is bound to take many more lives than Corona itself!
    RIP bro!

    RIP Karthik. Elected local representative should reach the public in this pandemic time. 80 percent of them are under home quarantine since March 2020.

    The tv channel should be banned to use the word Mahamari and the voice they raise for their publications.The fear developed in children should be mitigated. It's natural that when parents are in hospital uncertainty develop among children. Tv channel must create confidence among children and this is one of the disease where death rate isl less than 2percent. Some of the unwanted seems of the burial repeatedly telecast to be stopped.
    RIP

    "Depression" has become the new "trend" for suicide cases to be named with.
    The more you trend this word, the more you will hear this word.
    Reason could be something else.

    There is so much ignorance about quarantine that people are succumbing to depression related self-inflicted deaths. Shocking!
    DC should get some social psychologists to speak online about depression related syndrome related to quarentine. If somebody is suspected of corona they are treated as pariahs or criminal which is wrong. What is going on?

    Sadly, in india mental awareness is not given much importance. People judge others for their shortcomings and belittle them in the society . This is on way people get depressed. Moreover when one tries to get help by talking to someone he/she is told to act strong while the person is suffering a mental breakdown within. In this case it might be the loneliness as the reason, but if want people to stop having mental breakdowns we must stop judging people if they have shortcomings . If we stop judging people negatively and spread positivity, thats when we will be able to help them come out of such a painful times.
