The entertainment industry is the most insecure; depression and anxiety is far more visible here, says Saanand Verma

He said that the public gaze makes it easy to get anxious

Actor Saanand Verma spoke at length about the impact of showbiz on the environment and how artists are very prone to depression and anxiety. The actor, who was last seen in the film 'Babli Bouncer', said that the public gaze makes it easy to get anxious. He clarified, "The entertainment industry is the most insecure industry and depression and anxiety is far more visible in this industry. As it’s a show business we are in the news so people keep on looking for different kinds of issues that come with the people in the entertainment industry. There are many people who are capable of making news in the industry. Since it is a glamour industry, everyone likes to read about it. That’s why depression and anxiety is felt more here. There are easy targets and people feel mental sick very quickly because of high levels of stress. Here very less percentage of strugglers become successful. Very few of them get the taste of success,” he says.

He added, “Mental health means everything to me. If you are mentally healthy then everything will be fine. Unfortunately, it’s true that people regard physical health more important than mental health. But in reality, mental health is more important than anything else. Being mentally healthy helps you to obtain physical health. People should be very careful about it and take care of their mental health. It’s important to ignore things that create mental tension. Anything that creates negativity should be avoided. When I feel that I get worked up then I just take care of that thing. I make sure to ignore things that trigger my anger. When I feel low, I hate myself and I always ignore things and focus on the goodness of life and positive things. I am capable of keeping myself happy in any situation of life and that’s the greatest blessing that I have.” Saanand said that its important to follow the abovementioned steps to have a normal and happy mind and body.
