Tahira Kashyap Khurrana talks about importance of open discussion on mental health

Tahira Kashyap Khurrana was recently a part of an open discussion to discuss the mental health of children. Here, she talked about the mental health cases in COVID-19 lockdown. Along with filmmaker Gauri Shinde, there were many other child psychiatrists and school principals who were a part of the discussion on how to take care of mental health. 

According to a report by ANI, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana recently took part in an open panel discussion ‘Mind Your Mind’ on Monday and opened up about how she managed to interact with her children about her dealing with mental health. Talking about the forum and children’s mental issues, she stated that ‘Mind Your Mind’ was a rather important forum to address the issue of children and teenager’s mental health.

The actor added how mental health was something that was considered a taboo and was conveniently brushed under the carpet and also added how unfortunate this was. She continued that somehow nobody wants to believe that even one’s children could go through anxiety and depression. 

Speaking about the mental health cases in COVID-19 lockdown that rose to peaks in a matter of time, she stated how it was significant to create an open discussion on mental health especially since the mental health cases in COVID-19 lockdown had shot up by a huge margin.
