Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it often carries unnecessary stigma. Many people hesitate to seek help or take prescribed medicines due to misconceptions and fear of judgment. But the truth is, mental health medicines save lives and improve quality of living—just like medicines for diabetes, blood pressure, or infections.
