start of call it month still in medicine was allowed in our country what it has showed all of us is that digital interferes and delhi medicine is probably going to be in years to come a more long term solution for a bank plus diverse country like ours because you have somebody said in my easily not having an expert for lots of mines and now i'm just so awful but to get exploited by his medications counseling sitting within the premises where they are because of the internet access and i think that the transition that call it is pretty good and i truly believe that in the years to go then it interferes is good to bridge the ideas gaps we have met less novices never change that you mentioned just earlier was that people are talking more about mental health now than before earlier in the program we mentioned campaign by deepika padukone who is an actor who's been talking about her own experiences of mental health is it possible that.

that's been addressed for example the fear of getting an illness and the fear of what if something happens to your family fear of getting treatment on demand all of these inside these 3 heard stresses later examination results jobs it cannot be all of these psychosocial factors do give stress so that people start talking about it you know and that's also primarily in direction of badly hurt because none of them brought it up you are talking about it because you realize it's only you mustn't. forget them it is a pandemic because it is banned so now look at nets above distress is so a new team sharing about it has become lost pointed out and which i did was also you know me and to mention fall a country they guard because they couldn't see explication is not the solution. the
