    Mental health has been debating ever since the bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput surrendered. Mental health has been a subject of debate in books for decades, but no one has paid attention to it. It is over, as usual if no one cares about it. Her grief-stricken relationship seems to have everything in common. She's putting it all out through this book.

     There's also a book called 'Goner' that was released in July. It's debut work by Tazmeen Amna, Delhi based author gives peek into the mind a young woman going through a mid 20's crisis. Here she recounts the bitter events of her ex-boyfriend. With no job, a failing art career, months of expensive therapy, a cast on her leg and mystery man in her life, the question remains if she would be able to recover from her embracing wastefulness.

     Tazmeen Amna said " There is no point in hiding this. It was a nasty affair. It tormented me for years. I tried very hard to get out of this. I cannot tolerate people calling me 'weak', people quickly diagnosed me as 'victim mentality'. But I needed my old life back".

     Adding to this she told " My life has been pretty good since getting out of it. Perhaps I may exaggerated some events of my life in that book. To get out of this, I started some bad habits. I was in a situation then, who could not be saved and who could not be in such a situation. Even if there is someone like that, it is not okay".

     Lady shri ram college for women in the capital laughs " Sadly our people come forward to offer solution including 'don't think too much just pray' but that is not the answer for it. Instead of treatment these useless talks will not cure chronic depression. A lot of elite also suffer from depression but are hesitant to say. They should boldly come forward and tell their depression. Many Hollywood actor-actress openly talk about their problems. Even bollywood needs to take a step forward in such a matter. Especially in the work of the suicide of a talented actor like Sushant Singh Rajput".

     Adding that much research into 'Goner' including talking to her therapist, Tazmeen Amna has already started thinking about her next book. "Absolutely thanks to my anxiety. I have come so far from a hard-hearted mind. From now on I'm a feminist, I'm the voice for those who don't have a voice. I'm very interesting to fix all this and break out every mould".

Image Credit: Pinterest Books are said to be a person’s best friends as when there is no one to guide us, our books are always there to show us the right path in life. They always direct us to follow the moral values and principles of life. Everyone has a book which helped to change one’s life. Books are a great source of knowledge for us and they play an important role in the lives of students. A book never gives wrong advice to its reader and every book we read has a message to learn. In fact, a recent study shows that reading books has a positive impact on the brain. When we read a book or listen to a story, the brain releases certain harmones that allow us to turn the story into our own idea and experience. This is known as ‘neuro coupling’. The brain releases ‘happy hormone’ and we start a perceiving the story as our own and as a result, all the areas of the brain are activated in this process. Many of us have special memories of the books that have inspired us, and have lea...

Image Source: Google      In most of the urban regions, we are living in concrete jungle; our days are spent under artificial lights, our homes are decorated with artificial plants and flowers. Our children are spending time with gadgets, all we are gradually disconnecting from Mother Nature.      Why I’m telling all these because, Nature Deficit Disorder or NDD has gaining attention both in the field of psychology and ecology. In recent years, a famous Indian ecologist Dr. Harini Nagendra on global platforms relates Nature Deficit Disorder to need for nature conservation.      Nature Deficit Disorder is a non-clinical term, not recognized in any of the medical manuals for mental disorders such as the ICD-10 or the DSM-5. Although it’s not a recognized medical condition, concerns about its effects on wellbeing are attracting widespread attention.      Richard Louv, an American non-fiction author and journalist coined ...
