Actress Nausheen Shah was a guest on the show Hasna Mana Hai where she opened up about recently recovering from depression. The actress described it as an ‘extremely dark point’ and she was grateful for coming out of this.
Shah recalled how she went through a period in her time where she was consistently frightened, couldn’t eat or sleep and wanted her mother to stay next to her at all times.
“For sixty or seventy days, I was constantly in my bedroom and didn’t want to go anywhere..Its a very dark hole, a person’s mind can go into a very odd place. Your brain cant process any emotions because you’re so dead inside.”
The ‘Tarap’ actress stressed a person can identify if what they’re going through isn’t just sadness but is actually depression if they feel their body can’t function anymore or if they can’t explain the mental state of their mind. “This is the point where one should go to the doctor. If you keep self-diagnosing then this will keep growing and reach extreme lengths.”
