Actors give tips to combat anxiety on World Health Day!

Depression is something millions of people across the world struggle with on a daily basis. From a mango person, to a Bollywood personality to a television star, everyone has had a past which has taken them down the drain. Today we speak to our Telly stars, who talk about their depressed moment and what do they do to combat it.

I have never encountered depression as I am very happy-go-lucky in nature.  However, I do face anxiety at times but I overcome it by chanting. It is some kind of a meditation I do when I tend to work to much or have a sleepless night. 

There are a lot of spa lounges these days and that itself proves that people are going through a lot of stress be it on the personal or professional front. I have not been under depression but if I would be I would opt to switch of my phone and take a two day holiday. Also, I make sure I workout daily and indulge in some sport to refresh my mind.

I am have been lucky and have never faced depression but I have seen a lot of people who have gone through this phase. I believe the primary cause of depression is irregular lifestyle. Unfortunately childhood too plays a very important role where people suffer mentally and emotionally. It may sound weird but I feel having a bend towards spirituality helps one gain some sanity in life. 

Yes, I have been into depression when I participated in the Miss India pageant. I was in the top five and I lost the crown. I was extremely heartbroken. But my family and close friends stood by me and now whenever I feel low, all I make sure is to have the right kind of company around me. 

Everyone goes through a rough patch in life and so did I but it was in my school days. What i have learnt is come what may, i will  keep myself happy.

I have not been in depression but I keep feeling low every now and then. I am a pharmacy student and we have been taught how to overcome stages of stress and anxiety without eating medicines. I would suggest people to keep themselves distracted by listening to music, reading a book or watching television and not focus on the problem. I meditate when i feel low.

Happy Health Day to our readers!
