Motherhood is often portrayed as a blissful journey filled with love and joy. However, behind the celebrations of bringing new life into the world, many mothers, especially in India, suffer in silence. The pressure to be a “perfect mother,” lack of emotional and social support, and the constant juggling between responsibilities take a toll on their mental health.
Mental health recovery is a journey that not only involves the individual struggling but also the people around them. Family support can be one of the most vital elements in helping someone recover from mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, addiction, or trauma. In a world where stigma around mental health still exists, having a supportive family can help break down barriers, provide much-needed understanding, and offer a stable foundation for recovery.

Parenting is both a joyous and challenging journey, and dealing with wild outbursts from children can be particularly stressful. These outbursts, often characterized by intense and sometimes aggressive behavior, can stem from a variety of sources. Common causes include overwhelming emotions, lack of sleep, hunger, and frustration with communication or environmental constraints. For younger children, such outbursts might be part of normal development as they learn to regulate their emotions. However, frequent or very intense outbursts might indicate underlying issues such as stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges.
