Never ignore the mental health because it is as important as the physical health. It is said that by visiting the doctor our physical health issue could be solved. In mental health, symptoms might be there for too long but we might not get appropriate treatment for that. Those who have got mental health issues feel shy to talk about their issues with others is very common.
