How many more suicides will it take for Indian parents to understand that constant pressure, comparison, emotional neglect, and controlling behavior are seriously damaging their children’s from 20 - 35 old mental health?
​
Not every child who stays quiet is okay.
Not every topper is mentally healthy.
And not every “well-behaved” child feels emotionally safe at home.
Many children grow up feeling loved only when they achieve something.
By the time parents realize the emotional damage, the child may have already spent years silently struggling with anxiety, burnout, fear, depression, or hopelessness.
Children don’t just need food, education, and discipline.
They also need emotional safety, understanding, and support without constant judgment.
As someone working in counseling and emotional healing, I genuinely think Indian families need to normalize mental health conversations before it reaches a breaking point.
What are your thoughts on this?
