Union Health Ministry slammed over Depression post on Twitter

This tweet trivializes depression and makes it feel like it isn't an illness...

Kis ganvar ne poster banaya ye? ? Eat fruits? I know persons who think whole day about how to commit suicide in their depressed stage. And woh kela kha ke thik hojayga?? Wtf :/

Please have mental health professionals create posters. I understand you want to help but you're only misguiding people.
Mental health awareness is important and there are enough misconceptions as it is, without the MINISTRY OF HEALTH creating more of them.

The only thing missing in this graphic is their recommendation to go see a tantrik baba jo depression karne vaali dusht aatma nikaalta hai

Whoever wrote this has no idea what depression is. Where is the part where you go to the therapist or get meds? People are literally suicidal because of depression and you're asking them to "think positive "? You're putting more people in danger by spreading this message

I'm surprised "Gau Seva" didn't make it to this list. Otherwise I think it's the authoritative guide to curing depression. The people behind this poster have won themselves a Nobel Prize in medicine.

Such a shame that you @MoHFW_INDIA are insulting those who are suffering from #Depression such an irresponsible tweet without consulting any specialist #proofreading ( psychiatrist , phycologist). It saddens me that who are running such an important department.

Depression is a manifestation of several biological and psychosocial aberrations, and in some cases, one more than the other. While coping is different from treating depression, everything listed here will aid in healing from within; none of it will still replace #access to MHS.

Depression is a low mood, Global Warming is just people getting old and complaining about the weather and the first Transplant surgery in the world was Lord Ganesh being given the head of an elephant. That is what you get when you have an illiterate twit as Prime Minister.

Increase psychiatrists and psychologists and ask ppl to get diagnosed and take meds. Stop talking bullshit. You’re our health ministry and not our woo woo ministry . Please talk science ??‍♂️
