So I asked a few people I’m a big fan of myself to talk about how they cope in times of mild to extreme depression/anxiety and what they’d like to say to each of you experiencing any sort of struggle at this point in time. Remember, it’s OK not to be OK. Starting this 10 part series with the lovely Syra Yusuf ❤️Will be sharing messages from more friends sooner than later. Thank you for this @sairoz #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #depression

Anoushey Ashraf was the host of Oppo’s F17 Pro launch that took place earlier this week. While on the sets of the show, Anoushey asked Syra about her way of coping with anxiety, how she keeps herself calm during a turmoil when things are not perfect in her life.

Syra answered that the best way she keeps herself calm is through meditation and the first step towards healing is acknowledging that you have a problem and recognizing the fact that there is absolutely no harm in seeking help. 

Syra adds that now many celebrities have started sharing their own stories related to chronic depression and mental illness through social media.  This is the best way for people to stand up for themselves and work on their mental health and there are plenty of options available now. Talking to somebody regarding your state of mind helps a lot in terms of depression.

Anoushey Ashraf’s initiative with a series of short interviews every week with famous celebrities will encourage others to acknowledge and deal with issues on mental health. She has always been vocal about spreading Mental Health Awareness as she has personally dealt and struggled with it when she broke up after years of being in a relationship.

We hope this initiative helps people stand up for themselves and realize the fact that they don’t have to walk down the road of mental illness alone.
