Anmol Singh-Psychologist & Counselor, Chandigarh

Each one of us while growing up develops an individualistic perspective and belief about the right way to live life. It makes one struggle silently in order to comply with this belief. It is when this struggle becomes too much to live with that the individual starts thinking that something is inherently wrong with him/her leading to depression/ or anxiety. Despite the achievement of social success, social acceptance & security, as envisaged, one still feels worthless because he/she never indulged in doing things that he/she valued.  The feeling of failure and unworthiness can be nipped in the bud if individuals are accepted the way they are and encouraged to use their own skills & abilities to find solution.
