Care Star Avish (Lawyer who talks about the need for Mental Health Awareness in law)

Care FAM welcomes Avish, being a lawyer myself I relate to him so much. Having known him since law school and now as a friend, it is incredibly important that we as lawyers talk about mental health. Yes, law is a demanding profession for sure but together we can make it more manageable. Stress and anxiety management is needed a lot in this fraternity and I am glad to have lawyers like Avish share their views. More power to him.

Who are you? Given where you are today, what was the most challenging experience you have had so far and how have you changed the situation around? (If you have struggled with mental health, please do share, so that someone like you could be inspired).

I am a lawyer and in my profession, I generally encounter people who have mental health issues due to pressure or their work routine and they need proper guidance and mentoring to come out of that zone of depression.

Your mental health journey and how much has it impacted you in your life choices and decisions?

Well, in our generation people don't pay much heed to their own mental health. We are so competitive that we even don't have time for ourselves. For me, mental health is more important than physical fitness for the proper functioning of everything around us.

Your tips and guidance for anyone reading this

Give time to yourself and in spite of competing with others try to better yourself with each passing day.
