If you think you know about mental health, think again. Because I am here to let you know that you have only touched the tip of this iceberg. Today, the mental health of people is worse than their physical health. The anxiety level of today's generation is equal to the anxiety levels of mentally ill patients in 1950s. This is an alarming value. Efforts have been made by some organizations and governments to prioritize mental health but the progress has been at a slow rate. Mostly because when people learn about mental illnesses, they don’t want to believe that it really exists. It has become a stigma to even discuss these things. It's also a common belief that mentally ill people are "crazy". Believe me when I say that they are not. They are ill. They need the same amount of help as does a patient of cancer. It's time to put an end to this toxic thinking and fight the stigma around mental illnesses. Mental health is also a priority.

Case Study on Panic Disorder
Case:
Dave is a 41-year-old male who was referred by his primary care physician after presenting to the ER with difficulty breathing. Dave’s physician was unable to find a medical explanation for his symptoms, which left Dave feeling confused, stressed, and angry. Over the last 6 months, Dave has had several instances where he felt an intense fear that would reach a peak within a few minutes. During these instances, he would also experience sweating, heart palpitations, chest pain and discomfort, and shortness of breath. At times, Dave worried that might die. As a result, Dave has persistent worry about having another attack. In addition, he has begun to avoid unfamiliar places and people where it may be difficult to get help in the event of another panic attack. The panic and associated avoidance are significantly impacting Dave’s life as he has been turning down social invitations, making excuses to stay at home whenever possible, and relying on his wife to drive their children to their various activities. Although she was understanding at first, Dave’s wife has grown frustrated with what she perceives as his irrational fear of panic attacks.
