“One mistake and your life is ruined.”
This fear sits inside thousands of teenagers (13–19) and their parents.
The truth is: peer pressure, drugs, anxiety, depression… most of these can be managed.
The age is vulnerable, but not irreversible. With the right help at the right time, most young people recover.
Teaching kids to say “no” is good. Teaching them to 'ask for help' is even more important.
Remember this before you share that video.

“गलती हो गई तो जिंदगी बर्बाद हो गई।”
ये डर 13-19 साल के हजारों बच्चों और उनके माता-पिता के अंदर बैठा हुआ है।
सच ये है: Peer pressure, drugs, anxiety, depression…
इनमें से ज्यादातर का management संभव है।
उम्र नाजुक जरूर है, लेकिन irreversible नहीं।
सही समय पर मदद मिल जाए तो बच्चे वापस आते हैं।
‘ना’ सिखाना अच्छा है।
‘मदद मांगना’ सिखाना इससे भी ज्यादा जरूरी है।
ये वीडियो शेयर करने से पहले ये बात भी याद रखें।

जब साधु-संत भी इस चुनाव में निर्वाचन अधिकारियों की करतूतों पर सवाल उठाने लगें और उनके रवैये को तानाशाही बताने लगें, तो समझिए कि अन्याय की हदें पार हो चुकी हैं।
सत्य और न्याय की आवाज़ को दबाया नहीं जा सकता। संघर्ष जारी रहेगा!

For a Nasha Mukt Bharat, de-addiction needs more than parallel schemes
A person leaving hospital after addiction treatment should not have to find rehabilitation on their own.
For a Nasha Mukt Bharat, hospitals and community services must work together; and stay in touch with people who need continuing care.

Read my thoughts here
People have always gone through hard times. Severe depression has been around for a long time too. What is different now is that we can better tell when ordinary sadness has turned into something that lasts and gets in the way of daily life.
No one is prescribing antidepressants just because someone went through a breakup, lost a job, or lost someone close. Those are painful situations, and people usually need time, support and sometimes counselling. Major depression looks different. The low mood or loss of interest sticks around, sleep and appetite change, energy drops, thinking gets harder, and the person struggles to manage ordinary tasks. The risk of suicide also goes up.
Trials with large numbers of people show antidepressants work better than placebo for moderate to severe depression. The improvement is not the same for everyone, and some people don’t respond, but quite a few do when the medicine is chosen carefully and reviewed. Therapy helps as well, and many patients do best with both.
Grief and ordinary sadness need room. Severe depression usually needs treatment. Calling them the same thing leaves a lot of people without useful options.
Psychiatric drugs are psychoactive, but so are insulin and blood pressure tablets. That doesn't make them the same as alcohol.
Schizophrenia involves real problems with dopamine that cause voices and paranoia. Antipsychotics target that, which is why many people stop getting locked up, stop hearing things, and manage to hold down a job or see their kids. A few beers have never fixed that for anyone.
It's the same with serious depression. Leave it untreated for long enough and the brain changes. The medications aren't perfect and they don't fix everything, but they lower the risk of suicide and help people get moving again. Coffee doesn't do that.
The idea that something isn't real medicine if it doesn't permanently fix a defect falls apart when you look at half the drugs doctors actually use. Severe illness still needs treatment.
Healthcare failures must be addressed and individual wrongdoing punished, but blaming every doctor or normalising violence against healthcare workers will never improve patient care #Suryaa@Healthlive1
