It all started with a conversation that I had with my best friend, Harini Punnamraj. In the wake of covid, the importance of mental health suddenly rose and people started talking about it. I was complaining about how helpless I feel when someone suffers from mental health issues, which sometimes even leads to self-harming behavior. I mockingly told her that the problem is people just talk and will soon forget about it. No one actually cares about mental health. To which she replied "isn't it the same with you? If you know the problem why wait for someone else to solve it? Instead, why don’t you do something about it? I know you can do it."  This hit me. She was absolutely right as always and perhaps this way, we can help people rather than mere complaining and by taking action ourselves, we can set an example for others to follow. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability, and suicide is one of the leading causes of death. People with severe mental health conditions often die prematurely. Despite progress in some countries, people with mental health conditions often experience severe human rights violations, discrimination, and stigma. I believe that this needs to be changed and my best friend believes in me. That’s how Project C Foundation was born, an organization that aims to provide everyone with mental and emotional support, raise, educate, and spread the importance of mental health wellness to end the stigma associated with it which unfortunately still exists in the 21st century.
