Mental Health Quotes

Deepika Padukone

"People talk about physical fitness,

But mental health is equally important.

I see people suffering,

And their families feel a sense of shame about it,

Which doesn't help.

One needs support and understanding.

I am now working on an initiative way to create awareness  about anxiety and depression and help people."

"When I realized I was depressed,

Then I started reading up about it.

When I read that one in four people are depressed,

I felt that I'm not the only one.

I also felt that how many people must be feeling suffocated to fight this battle alone.

I just wanted to reach out and tell them that even I'm like you,

And that's okay if you feel like that."

~

"I wish to be appreciated not only as a film star but also for the person I am. 

If I manage to bring a smile on people's faces,

Then I think I'll be successful."

~

"Being sad and being depressed are two different things.

Also,

People going through depression don't look so,

While someone sad will look sad.

The most common reaction is,

'How can you be depressed?

You have everything going for you.

You are the supposed number one heroine and have a plush home, 

Car, 

Movies...

What else do you want?'"
