#TwitterChat: Are PR professionals contributing to a ticking ‘mental health’ bomb?

When it comes to Mental Health, there is a silence that descends. Mental Health issues are still not discussed openly and people tend to either suffer through it or deal with it in their own ways rather than seek help or discuss with those who can really help them. The stigma attached to mental health deters people from coming out in the open.

It’s been over 7 months now that we have lived in this pandemic period. The risk of COVID-19 infection, being cut off from everything that we have been familiar with throughout our lives, working from home, job losses, salary cuts, the great uncertainty that hangs over everything – all these have increased anxiety levels.
