About
Mental Well-being

As the world comes to understand the importance of mental health, we also try to push towards it’s awareness and acceptance. The rapidly developing technology has enabled us to be connected with anyone in the world at anytime but has also simultaneously isolated us. The increasing depression and suicide rates in youths especially is the call to action for changing the way we deal with mental health.

anka EK Inspired documents the youth’s struggle with depression, anxiety and other mental disabilities to highlight those issues and dispel the stigma associated with them. It hopes that recounting the experiences can help those who watch it with their own struggles with their mental health.

She shares the experience that inspired her to take the initiative of spreading awareness about mental health in youths and help others that are going through the same ordeal she had. It is an all too familiar story for the youths of today in this rapidly developing but ignorant world, that brushes off and sets aside the all too real issue of depression.
