21 Marching- In Conversation with Arjun Gupta

Today we are going to talk about a hidden disability covered under the RPWD act, something which cannot be seen, but can wreak havoc in the lives of people experiencing it. We are going to talk about clinical depression.

Depression ranges in seriousness from mild, temporary episodes of sadness to severe, persistent depression. Clinical depression is the more-severe form of depression, also known as major depression or major depressive disorder. It isn’t the same as depression caused by a loss, such as the death of a loved one, or a medical condition, such as a thyroid disorder.

WHO also estimates that about 7.5 per cent Indians suffer from some mental disorder and predicted that by end 2020 roughly 20 per cent of India will suffer from mental illnesses. According to the numbers, 56 million Indians suffer from depression and another 38 million Indians suffer from anxiety disorders.

WHO also estimates that, in India, the economic loss, due to mental health conditions, between 2012-2030, is 1.03 trillions of 2010 dollars.

It therefore becomes imperative that we understand this issue deeply, and collectively help individuals dealing with Clinical depression overcome it and lead meaningful lives.

Our fourth interview under the Marching with Pride campaign

Sharing the recording of our 4th and final episode under the # MarchingwithPride campaign, Another very insightful conversation between @Sonica Aron and @Ritambhara Mehta, where Ritambhara brings up the issue of living in constant #fear of #beingjudged or being a subject of ridicule, and therefore being unable to open up or forge meaningful relationships. She shares examples of #microaggressions and #bullying at schools and the inability of teachers to deal with either the bullying, or the questions and dilemmas that children from the community have regarding #sexuality and #genderidentity. She goes on to talk about how the microaggressions, bullying and alienation continues at the workplace, pushing out members of the community to seek unconventional occupations. She also talks about a very interesting concept- What defines ‘completeness’ for a woman. A must watch for everyone, irrespective of what stage of inclusion in your journey you are. There are takeaways for everyone. #pridemonth #lgbtqia #diversityandinclusion #inclusionmatters #Diversitymatters #conversationseries #pride #createawareness #makeadifference #voices #respectandequalityforall #marchingsheep

Our third interview under the Marching with Pride campaign.

Sharing the recording of our 3rd conversation under the # MarchingwithPride campaign, an insightful conversation between @Sonica Aron and Rahul Paswan. Heartfelt gratitude to Rahul for sharing his journey with such candour. An interesting thread emerges through the three conversations so far…Individuals from the #LGBTQ community understand the conflict and dilemma their families go through in accepting their sexuality and gender identity and are willing to give them time to come to terms with it and accept them.
Why can’t we then, understand and accept them? Rahul also brings out the importance of ignoring the pressures of the heteronormative society and letting curiosity prevail, to continue exploring, learning without guilt or shame, to express and seek help from allies for members of the LGBTQ community. Do watch this video to get inspired by someone who has overcome many hurdles. #pridemonth #lgbtqia #diversityandinclusion #inclusionmatters #diversitymatters #conversationseries #pride #createawareness #makeadifference #Voices #marchingsheep

Sharing the recording of our 2nd interview under the # MarchingwithPride campaign, an insightful conversation between @Sonica Aron and @Antara Pal. Sincere thanks to Antara for sharing her journey with such candour. It was a pleasure having you for this conversation. Antara raises some pertinent issues around the loneliness, confusion and trauma that a child struggling with #sexuality and #genderidentity goes through while growing up, in the absence of support, acknowledgement and resources. Food for thought for families, schools and institutions…surely we as a society can be better. She also brings out the need for #safeworkplaces and #inclusiveworkplaces in letter and spirit for the community, which includes #inclusivepolicies as well as #sensitizedcoworkers.
