When it comes to mental health and emotional well-being, we are accustomed to either brushing these under the carpet or skirting around the issues. However, the ongoing pandemic, and especially the lockdown implemented world over at different times, has affected mental health in such a manner that makes it imperative for us to stop dodging the issue. Covid-19 has perhaps forever altered the way we function and interact, resulting in greater amount of worries and increased alienation. Today, it is not just the question of our physical survival, but the survival of our mental and emotional health too. Roli Pulse, a digital initiative of Roli Books, in association with The Heath Collective, brings the Talking Mental Health series – an attempt to shift the focus of the mainstream narrative to mental and emotional health.
