Neerja Birla,<\/strong> said that she believes that awareness must be created around mental illness and people should come forward and talk about their problems rather than putting it under the covers. In today\u2019 generation especially in India many people are taking their life, because they live in the myth that achievers can\u2019t have mental illness. It is a problem that depends on no factor either gender, socio economic background or age and can happen to anybody.
\nShe also spoke about how work place stress has become a common thing now due to over-competitive environment and the high achievers tend to get more affected as they have to outperform themselves.<\/p>\n

The speakers spoke about how mindfulness helps us in responding to the situation and not reacting to the same. They advised people to take time when responding to a situation and it should not be spontaneous, because if we take time then the negative thoughts go down by 50 per cent and people respond on the basis of a rational thinking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
