There are many people with mental illness in the world . Doctors say that Covid19 can also cause mental illness. The sad part of this is that some people are mentally ill and they donot realize it and if others tell them they deny it. How do you help a friend or family member who is mentally ill?

Denial is the first phase in most of the cases. People around them have to accept them and not give up on helping them. Many a time they realise that they have a condition but try not to come out because of the stigma attached to mental health.

Communicate constantly. Encourage your friend or your family to look at how beautiful life is. Participate in activities your friend or family likes to engage in.

You can not help them until they want help.

Rightly said. Most of the people deny it. One can always make them understand in loving way and help them in seeing a doctor
