Karan Johar Reveals Battling Anxiety And How He Dealt With It In The Latest Post

On World Mental Health Day, Bollywood ace filmmaker Karan Johar reveals battling anxiety in 2015. He stated things got better after medication. However, he felt the trigger again earlier this year in March.

On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, KJo shared a post on World Mental Health Day. Sharing the post he revealed his first encounter with anxiety as he wrote, “Like many others I felt like “this cannot happen to me “…. We read about mental health and hear about it with compassion but somehow you never feel like it will come knocking on your door…But it can and it did….”

Recalling the times, he stated that it was in the year 2015-16 that he ‘felt the first burst of anxiety’ and realized something was wrong. He changed his lifestyle and with medications, things got better. He wrote, “In 2015-2016 I felt the first burst of anxiety and knew within that something was wrong… my friend guided me to a psychologist, and after a series of conversations I knew what I was dealing with and addressed it medically and with a change of lifestyle…. Things got better and I weaned off the meds …”

Further, the filmmaker continues writing, “This year in March this year ( I knew the trigger ) it returned and I knew I had to address it immediately….For someone who does battle anxiety or depression “simple solutions like “ … go for a drive !!! Meet friends !! Go for a holiday …. Get a massage … these are red flag conversations to have and you must be educated enough in this zone to even offer advice…”

Addressing the solution, Karan wrote, “To family members my advice is simply to make sure that the person going through it seeks professional help…We tend to address blood pressure, diabetes, etc with so much instant ease then why neglect mental health….More power to those brave ones who acknowledge the issue and address it head on…But to the millions who don’t … just know that there is a better life awaiting you…. All you need to do is reach out …#worldmentalhealthday.”
