Mental Health of Actors (male and female) in the Film Industry– A Study of its Causes, Effects, and Recommendations
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Many actors face anxiety and depression, but do not speak about it. They are ashamed of their emotions, of projecting a poor self-image, and end up doing greater harm to themselves. However, perspectives on mental health are changing and successful actors are publically discussing their anxiety issues and depression. This article explores the same further.The stigma around mental health is slowly and steadily loosening from the shackles. Celebrities speaking about and starting the conversation around mental health can bring a positive reinforcement to bring down stigma around mental health.
