Mental illnesses do exist for people within South Asian communities. That is a fact.
”One in four of us will suffer from mental illness at some point in our lives – our 2021 survey showed many more people were feeling more anxious and isolated due to the pandemic.
”I can also share how mental ill health is generally frowned upon in all communities, stigma is not a phenomenon that only exists if you have brown skin. What is true however, is that there are additional barriers that exist if one belongs to a South Asian community.”
