Vivekananda Mission School Alumni Association presents Mental Health and School Kids. This event is an exclusive for school students only.

People usually associate depression with emotions such as sadness or grief, but, in fact, more often it has more to do with the feeling of nothingness and lack of purpose – there is a difference between feeling depressed and having depression. Neither is much fun, but the latter in particular needs careful attention. Unfortunately, depression still feels very taboo. Despite the commendable efforts to raise awareness, educate, and advocate against social stigma around the globe, societies slyly tend to insist on cheerfulness, which is why a lot of people end up not only struggling but also feeling ostracized. The thing is, depression is not an uncommon problem. More than that, it’s not wrong.
