BRS working president KT Rama Rao emphasised the growing importance of mental health awareness in the current fast-paced world. He urged people to shed stigma around mental health issues and consult professionals to address them.
“Mental health is as important as physical health. Seeking help from
professionals should not be seen as a weakness,” he said, adding that untreated stress is contributing to rising health issues, including diabetes and even suicides.
Rama Rao inaugurated Amrutha Sankalp Clinic, a new mental wellness centre set up by Dr Surendra, Sirisha, and Vijayalakshmi, in Gachibowli on Friday.
