Mental illness has led people to commit actions that would make one’s senses to shatter, it would make our hearts bleed. In recent times, the growing epidemic of suicide rates has called for our large concern. There has been an abnormally substantial increase in suicide rates and we have come across news regarding many popular public figures taking their own lives. On the other hand, Pakistanis also deal with this dilemma. We cannot ignore that mental illness prevails on an all-time high in this part of the world as well.
Indeed, it’s shocking how such a subject is largely ignored in our country. Suicide is a taboo. Mental illness is a foreign subject. People are ignorant towards it. They do not know how to help the victims. In fact, the victims are often put to shame, religious shaming and what not, which worsens the circumstances in all cases. Suicide prevention hotline, something most countries have a dedicated system and legislation for nowadays. But in Pakistan? It’s a bigger shame.
