The first time I had a panic attack, I was 19 and walking back from the dining hall to my college dorm.
I couldn’t pinpoint what started it, what prompted the rush of color to my face, the shortness of breath, the quick onset of intense fear. But I began sobbing, wrapped my arms around my body, and hurried back to the room I’d just moved into — a triple with two other college students.
There was nowhere to go — nowhere to hide my shame at this intense and unexplainable emotion — so I curled up in bed and faced the wall.
What was happening to me? Why was it happening? And how could I make it stop?
It took years of therapy, education, and understanding the stigma surrounding mental illness to fully get a grasp on what was going on.
I eventually understood that the intense rush of fear and distress I’d experienced many times by that point was called a panic attack.

This mental health reminder is one of my favorites.
It’s okay to ask for help!
Life is hard and you shouldn’t be expected to figure it all out yourself.
Asking for help is a sign of strength. If you need help, reach out to someone.
Reach out to someone you trust: a friend or a family member.
Asking for help could also look like going to see a therapist or counselor, or signing up for a therapy app so that you can get some advice from a professional.
Help is always available and it will make you feel so much better!

The perception society has of individuals going through therapy and counselling has still not been completely normalized. Often instead of it being seen as normal, it is still seen as having a mental “illness”. It is a label that remains difficult to lift from the views of society. This can contribute to self-imposed stigma because individuals who tend to avoid therapy don’t want people to think they are “ill”. There can also be a certain level of pride that prevents someone from getting therapy because they feel as if people think of it as a sign of weakness. One way to abolish stigma, is to recognize that asking for help can be considered a sign of strength, rather than a sign of weakness..
Countless studies and research has shown that there are several positive outcomes that arise when a person seeks out therapy. Whether it’s group or individual, in person or online, psychotherapy and counselling helps sort out issues from a wide range of topics like mental and physical health, addiction and recovery, financial, work-related, grief, post-partum depression, anxiety and obsessive behaviours. We specialize in treating individuals who are recovering from addiction. It is a holistic approach to recovery and it is completely online, from the comfort of your home.

Well, your answer is – “We work for peace not for penny". At Drivekraft, our team painstakingly work towards breaking the chains of mental health stigmas that have clutched individuals for millenniums, deceiving them to look at mental health from the eyes of dogmatic beliefs, and a mindset fabricated and codified with taboos related to mental health which even refuses to consider it as a real thing.
But our conscientious team helps individuals to understand that mental pain is as real and demands urgent care and attention as physical pain. And, at times mental health issues can wound an individual deeper than a physical injury in the long run.
So, don’t lose hold of this momentous opportunity and book your first free session with us. Register Now, Link in Bio!

India and Mental Health
Mental health issues need societal acceptance and understanding. Stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness cause people to avoid or delay seeking treatment due to fear of being treated differently or being judged. The social stigma that people living with mental illness experience has made them more vulnerable. Let's change our perception of mental health. If we don’t recognize mental illnesses the way we understand physical health issues, then people will never get the treatment that they need, which makes their situation worse. Drivekraft aims at promoting mental health and reduces the stigma associated with it.

Life lessons by drivekraft
Mental health refers to your emotional and psychological well-being. Having a good psychological state helps you lead a comparatively happy and healthy life. Mental illness is neither a sin nor a crime. The stigma about mental disorders and discrimination against patients and families prevents people from seeking mental health care. With proper medication or psychotherapy, people struggling with mental issues and depression will do get better. Drivekraft offers an effective counselling treatment that helps you restore your mental health and gives the best outcomes.
