Roshni
Roshni Trust is a voluntary organization that offers
support to the depressed and the suicidal. TV9 has been associated with Roshni
for close to ten years now. At a time when there was little awareness and
information on mental health, TV9 dealt with the topic and raised conversations
through many programs and free public service messages.
TV9 has been interviewing many people throughout ten
years who spoke about their journey of battling the disease depression
and how others held on to hope when things looked bleak, helped together in
trying to find a way out of the darkness actively rather than giving up on
living. People mistake depression for sadness and they do not know it is a
brain disorder and as real as any physical illness. Many myths and beliefs
ruled the day.
