A friend is mine is so obviously depressed after her break-up. I have been suggesting her to get therapy, but she is flatly refusing! I don’t understand this resistance to mental therapy. What is wrong with our society, that even when in obvious pain, we don’t want help?

    There is a stigma attached to “therapy” in our society. Its age old, nothing to do with logic, everything to do with “fear of unknown”.

    On your part, keep telling her to take it. If you want, I can talk to her. I myself had taken therapy long back in teens due to family problems. It truly helps!
