FOSTERING MENTAL HEALTH WHILE WEDDING PLANNING

Mental health is finally getting the long-overdue spotlight it deserves. In this contemporary world, where people claim to be woke, countless mental health conditions are swept under the rug and ignored.

Pondering upon mental health issues and consulting a counsellor or therapist is still a stigma. Many might consider heartbreak, unsuccessful career and family issues as the reason for mental health conditions. But few might be unaware of the fact that stressful life events such as planning a wedding can lead to mental illness as well.

Planning an Indian wedding is not as simple as ABC. Accomplishing numerous wedding chores can strain a lot of energy from you resulting in exhaustion. Even if you have hired an expert team of vendors, allocating duties and having an overview of the tasks performed can build up pressure.

From opting for the perfect wedding destination to deciding on swoon-worthy attires for the bride and groom, and much more can consume a lot. A loss of sense of self, while catering to everybody else's needs can make you feel overwhelmed. External pressure from families and friends is exhausting. The anxiety of living up to the expectations of others as well as yours can stimulate mental health issues.
