India's young adults are breaking taboos by seeking help for depression, anxiety, and stress. This is a positive step, but the surge in antidepressant use and "cool" mental health merch raises questions. Are we normalizing panic attacks? What's driving this surge in mental health issues? Academic pressure, social media, or deeper societal issues? Even students as young as 7 are battling depression and anxiety. What are schools doing about this? Host Ratna Bhushan talks to Geetika Kapoor, School Psychologist and founder of EdEssential, Ayesha Syal, Senior Faculty and Lead Educator, St Xaviers School, along with ET’s in-house expert Teena Thacker. Listen to the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast! Credit: Abhi and Niyu, ABC News (Australia) and Indiatimes.
