Celebrities Can Inspire Mental Health Awareness
Actress Dipshikkha Nagppal, known for her role in Megha Barsenge, believes that celebrities speaking out about mental health can inspire others to seek help. She explains that seeing public figures address these issues encourages people to recognize and confront their own struggles.
“People look up to celebrities, and when they talk openly about mental health, it sends a powerful message,” says Nagppal. “Mental health doesn’t discriminate—no matter your success or wealth, it can affect anyone. Recognizing it and taking action can change your life.”
Nagppal’s Personal Journey with Therapy
Nagppal is a strong advocate for mental health support and shares her personal experience with therapy. She sought help from Dr. Anjali Chhabria during a difficult period in her life, including her divorce.
“I started reacting differently to my children, with frustration and anger. I didn’t understand why, especially since I had always wanted children,” Nagppal recalls. “My doctor explained that my emotional struggles were behind these reactions. As a new mother with no elder to guide me, I was overwhelmed.”
How Therapy Transformed Her Life
Nagppal credits therapy for helping her heal and build a stronger bond with her children. “Therapy changed everything for us,” she says. “It helped me understand myself better and improved my relationship with my children.”
The Importance of Seeking Therapy Early
Nagppal advises others not to wait until they are in crisis to see a therapist. “Even when you’re happy, therapy can help you grow and understand yourself better. It offers a safe space where someone listens without judgment and helps you make sense of things,” she says.
Why Expert Help is Essential
Nagppal emphasizes the importance of professional help over talking to friends or family. “Most people don’t want to hear what they consider ‘drama’ and often offer advice based on their perspective, not yours,” she explains. “Expert help is crucial because it helps you live a meaningful and fulfilling life.”
Through her own experience, Nagppal hopes to inspire others to prioritize their mental health and seek the support they need.
