NOIDA NEWS (14/07/2025): At a comprehensive health camp organized by Kailash Deepak Hospital, mental health took center stage as Dr. Pallavi Sharma, Group Director of Kailash Group of Hospitals, delivered a heartfelt and urgent plea to the public: move beyond awareness and toward action when it comes to mental well-being.

Mental health isn’t just about awareness campaigns or social media hashtags. It requires empathy, open dialogue, and timely intervention, Dr. Pallavi Sharma emphasized, addressing a diverse audience that included healthcare professionals, patients, and community members.

In her speech, Dr. Sharma expressed concern over the growing mental health crisis affecting every segment of society — from schoolchildren to working professionals. She highlighted a surge in cases involving emotional burnout, depression, anxiety, and even suicide, calling it a “red flag that cannot be ignored.”

The signs are all around us. Children struggling with academic pressure, young adults facing career uncertainties, and professionals collapsing under the weight of constant performance expectations. Emotional distress has become a silent epidemic, she warned.

Disintegration of Support Systems

Dr. Sharma attributed much of the current mental health burden to the erosion of traditional support systems. India once thrived on the strength of joint families — a safety net of emotional support. Today, the shift towards nuclear families and individualistic living has left many feeling isolated, she explained.

The disconnect, she said, isn’t always visible. People feel lonely even while surrounded by others. This emotional disconnection is feeding stress and despair, especially among the youth and the elderly.

Breaking the Silence

The event emphasized the urgent need to shatter the stigma still surrounding mental health issues in India. Dr. Sharma encouraged people to speak up, seek help, and extend support to those in distress. Feeling overwhelmed is human. What’s not okay is suffering in silence, she said. Whether it’s a family member, a friend, or a professional — talk to someone. Mental health care is not a weakness; it’s a necessity.

Kailash Deepak Hospital, part of the wider Kailash Group of Hospitals network, has been at the forefront of integrating mental health into mainstream healthcare. The hospital offers specialized psychiatric services and psychological counseling in a non-judgmental environment, Dr. Sharma noted.

Beyond Routine Check-Ups: A Platform for Healing

The mega health camp, though primarily focused on medical screenings, evolved into a safe space for discussing emotional struggles. Psychiatrists and counselors from the hospital provided on-the-spot advice and consultations, enabling participants to begin their mental wellness journey without delay.

Dr. Sharma’s closing words resonated deeply with attendees:

Healing doesn’t always start in a hospital. Sometimes it starts with a simple, honest conversation — with yourself, a loved one, or a professional. Let’s stop pretending we’re okay when we’re not. Let’s choose to listen, to speak, and to care.

Unified Support from Kailash Group

Backing Dr. Sharma’s message was the visible solidarity among senior medical professionals from across the Kailash Group’s institutions. Representatives from Kailash Hospital & Heart Institute (Noida), Kailash Hospital & Neuro Institute (Sector 71, Noida), and Kailash Health Village (Sector 62, Noida) attended the event, highlighting the group’s collective commitment to holistic healthcare. Their participation reinforced a powerful message: true health includes mental health.

A Call to Action

As the event concluded, one theme remained central: mental wellness must be treated as essential, not optional. In a society still grappling with stigma and misinformation, institutions like Kailash Deepak Hospital are stepping up to lead the conversation — and the care.

Mental health is not a luxury — it’s a basic human need, said Dr. Pallavi Sharma. And we are here to help every person prioritize it, with compassion and expertise.
