Ariana Grande is advocating for mental health support for young entertainers, emphasizing the need for therapy services in the industry.

During an appearance on Marc Maron’s podcast, the Oscar-nominated singer and actress discussed the pressures of fame and urged record labels and studios to provide mandatory therapy for rising stars.

Grande, who entered the spotlight at 19, shared her struggles with public scrutiny, particularly regarding her body and relationships. “I was 19 when all of that nonsense started happening to me, and it’s just a crazy piece of the puzzle,” she recalled. “It started when I was so young with my body or rumors about my relationships or about my team or about my mom or about people I love. There was just no limit.”

The Side to Side singer insisted that mental health services should be part of contracts for young artists. “It’s so important that these record labels, these studios, these TV studios, these big production companies make it a part of the contract … You need a therapist to be seeing several times a week.”

Reflecting on the emotional toll of fame, she concluded, “To be an artist, you are a vulnerable person with your heart on your sleeve … So the same person who is meant to do art is the exact same person who is not meant to deal with that s***.”

Grande has previously spoken about her experiences in Hollywood, including pressures faced while working on Victorious.

KU moot calls for raising awareness of rare diseases

February 29, 2024 by Abid Khan

KARACHI: Mental health and behavioral health disorders impose a significant and under-recognized burden on the global healthcare system, affecting social needs basic human rights, and the economy.

Between a quarter and a half of the global population is affected by a mental disorder at some point in life. Today, nearly one billion people live with a mental disorder, and in low-income countries, more than 75 percent of people with the disorder do not receive treatment.

Every year, close to three million people die due to substance abuse. The human cost is immense as around 800,000 people commit suicide every year, and that is a leading cause of death among young people.

These views were expressed by the renowned psychiatrist and meritorious Prof Dr Iqbal Afridi during his address at the Rare Disease Day 2024 organized by the Dr A. Q. Khan Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering of the University of Karachi at its Chinese Teachers Memorial Auditorium on Thursday.

He informed the audience that about 50 percent of mental health disorders start by the age of 14. People suffering from untreated mental health disorders are unable to realize their desired potential and are all too often exposed to a wide range of human rights violations.

“Between 2011 and 2030, the cumulative economic output loss associated with mental disorders is projected to be US$16.3 trillion worldwide.”

Dr Iqbal Afridi shared that given the chronic nature of the disease, this translates into a significant economic impact worldwide. It is expected that in the next 10 years, depression will put more burden on nations than any other disease.

He quoted that according to the World Health Organization, the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted or, in some cases, halted critical mental health services in the 93 percent of countries worldwide, while the demand for mental health is increasing.

Meanwhile, the KU VC Prof Dr Khalid Mahmood Iraqi said that based on data worldwide, there is no doubt that rare diseases are increasing around the globe.

Dr Afsheen Ali from KU KIGBE shared that the primary goal of this campaign is to increase awareness among the public and decision-makers about the rare disease and its influence on the lives of families living with these conditions.

Mawra Hocane, Fahad Mustafa Discuss The Importance Of Mental Health

October 12, 2023 by Areej Afzal

Fahad Mustafa spoke briefly about the mental health of other artists.
Mawra Hocane used Instagram to discuss the same topic.
Mawra added, “Don’t shy away from making yourself a priority.”

Fahad Mustafa spoke briefly about the mental health of other artists in the entertainment sector while appearing in Momin Saqib’s show. It’s up to you whether he was kidding or not. “I believe there is no one in the industry to whom one can go for relationship advice because they are all victims of mental health.” “Everyone has problems,” the celebrity remarked.

Momin pushed back, questioning if the showbiz is actually plagued by problems. “It’s the nature of our work,” Fahad explained. “What exactly is our job?” Someone sees you and judges you based on your appearance, voice, and current appearance. Today, I wore the shirt I wore two days ago; someone has already posted the video, and I spotted it on the way…As a result, we’re stuck on various themes. Why would you seek counsel? Take guidance from a family member.”

On World Mental Health Day, Mawra Hocane turned to Instagram to discuss the same topic in a much more solemn tone. “I have spent the last three years of my life focusing on this little girl. the actor wrote with a video of a younger version of herself. She further added, “She needed to heal, to rest, to be with herself…To walk away from the noise and the lights…Find that light within instead…To work just enough for joy and not find validation in exhaustion…Most importantly, she wanted to be ‘home’ and home she was after many many many years.”

Mawra was hinting to the kid she used to be, now her inner child, and emphasizing the need to heal the same. Many mental health specialists discuss the concept of healing one’s inner child by providing them with the love they lacked or desired. Because one’s inner child is a part of oneself, this is an unintentional act of self-love that aids in the healing of the adult self as well.

She stressed further, “Don’t shy away from making yourself a priority. If 2020 taught me anything, it was to not ignore my inner voice, to listen to my body, to chase happiness and nothing else because, at the end of the day, it’s all that matters…Sending love and strength to those who still suffer in silence.”

5 Superfoods That Can Naturally Increase Serotonin Levels

February 23, 2023 by Areej Afzal

Serotonin is a hormone that regulates mood and overall behaviour.
Low serotonin levels can lead to various mental health issues.
There are additional approaches to address low serotonin levels.

Serotonin, a hormone that regulates mood, is also important for overall mental health. Low serotonin levels can lead to various mental health issues such as sadness, anxiety, insomnia, overthinking, and negative thoughts. Serotonin essentially affects your mood and behaviour in general, and the molecule is frequently connected to feeling well and living a longer life.

In addition to using appropriate medicine, there are additional approaches to address low serotonin levels. Try consuming foods that contain tryptophan as a possible natural way to raise your serotonin levels. Tryptophan, an amino acid that helps improve serotonin production and has a favourable impact on your mood and general health, is present in many foods. Nutritionist Lovneet Batra discusses the serotonin diet in more detail and lists 5 superfoods that are effective at raising serotonin levels.

A nutritionist says, “Are you susceptible to mood swings, depression, and irritability all the time? It might indicate a serotonin shortage, after all. Foods high in tryptophan, an amino acid that aids in the manufacture of serotonin, can improve your mood and general health. Thus, here are 5 serotonin-rich foods that can help if you’re trying to eat your way to happiness or peace.”

Tryptophan is an amino acid found in bananas. Tryptophan is converted by our body into 5-HTP, which is used to manufacture serotonin and melatonin, two neurotransmitters that control our mood and sleep.
Magnesium and folate are just two of the many minerals found in almonds. Magnesium is essential for the production of serotonin, which is a key factor in your brain’s ability to experience happiness. In addition, almonds are a good source of vitamins B2 and E, which support the immune system under stress.
Tryptophan, an amino acid that creates serotonin and hence has a crucial role in controlling mood and sleep patterns, is present in A2 milk.
Tryptophan is found in pineapple, which raises serotonin levels in the brain. The protein bromelain, which has potent anti-inflammatory properties, is also found in pineapple.
Tryptophan can be found in abundance in soy products.

Recall that these foods must be coupled with nutritious carbohydrates in order to alter serotonin levels, Lovneet Batra writes in the conclusion.

President for integrated efforts on mental health initiatives

January 24, 2023 by Abid Khan

While chairing a follow-up meeting on mental health.
He said that some excellent work done by PM’s Office.
Comprehensive media campaign needed on mental health.

ISLAMABAD: While chairing a follow-up meeting on mental health, President Dr Arif Alvi has said that the initiatives on mental health taken by the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Planning and Development and Special Initiatives, and the President’s House may be integrated by optimizing processes and combining them to develop an effective Artificial Intelligence based helpline to reach out to the maximum population around the country to provide them counselling and advice on mental health issues faced by them.

The meeting that was held at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Tuesday was attended by the members of the National Commission for Human Rights, the World Health Organization, the Pakistan Psychological Association, the Pakistan Psychiatric Society, officials of the Taskeen Health Initiative, and members of the academia.

Addressing the meeting, the President said that some excellent work had been done led by the Prime Minister’s Office, the Ministry of Planning and Development as well as the President’s House, which showed the focus and importance being accorded to providing mental health services to the target population to reduce stress levels in society.

This, he said, was paramount for a healthy society and for the progress and development of the country. He said that the financial needs may be determined by the relevant stakeholders keeping in view the technical requirement, hiring of expertise and setting up of required essential physical infrastructure.

The President said that available psychiatrists and psychologists of the Pakistani Diaspora in the UK and in other countries should be integrated into the system to provide quality, authentic and professional advice. He noted that there were around 2000 psychiatrists of Pakistani origin in the UK, who could be integrated into the system. He said that mental health service provider systems should be integrated with the existing resources available in Health Institutes.

He said that the artificial intelligence-based system should have the capabilities to cater to the entire target population and the ability to filter out the number of patients, which need expert advice according to the available psychiatrists and psychological resources.

“I think self-care is number one,” the 58-year-old tells the outlet exclusively while discussing her work with Project Healthy Minds, a new mental health tech non-profit that aims to make it easier and faster for young people to find mental health resources. “I worry for them, and not only for my own children, I worry for all the next generation that is so under the spell of social media.”

Yolanda shares her three children with ex-husband and real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, to whom she was married from 1994-2000.

“Go for a walk,” Hadid advises after celebrating World Mental Health Day during a fireside chat with Project Health Minds. “Exercise is super important. I think healthy eating habits are very important.”

The former member of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has previously acknowledged struggling with her own mental health. Hadid had a relapse of her Lyme disease as a result of her depression following the death of her mother Ans van den Herik at the age of 78.

“I hadn’t felt that kind of depression in 20 years or something, after I broke my back 20 years ago,” the former model, who took a nine-month hiatus from social media over the summer, shares. “I really hadn’t dealt with the extent that I felt now.”

Yolanda, who is now a grandma to Gigi’s two-year-old daughter, Khai, confessed to feeling much after moving out of California to a secluded farm in Pennsylvania and finding love with her boyfriend, Joseph Jingoli.

“[It’s] a very different life,” Hadid shares with a laugh. “I just needed to get away. I could not get well.”

Actress Olivia Cooke discusses her mental health

October 3, 2022 by Rafia Jawed

Olivia Cooke opened up about her mental health in an interview with the Observer.
She says she had a breakdown when she was 22 years old.
The House of the Dragon actress credits A&E’s Bates Motel with helping her come to terms with loneliness.

The House of the Dragon actress Olivia Cooke spoke candidly with the Observer about her mental health.

The actress admitted that when she was 22 years old, she went through a “complete mental breakdown.”

During the A&E television series Bates Motel’s Canadian production, the 28-year-old said that she struggled with loneliness.

“I’m so grateful for that job, but I had a really tough time on it,” says Cooke, who played Emma Decody on the Hitchcock-inspired drama, which ran from 2013 to 2017. “The way the schedule worked, we all had different storylines, so a lot of my time was spent in this apartment in Vancouver, working once every two weeks.”

By 2016, that sense of isolation had grown into full-fledged depression, she tells the U.K. publication.

“It was a big old lovely cocktail: being homesick and not knowing it, having not stopped since I was 18, being on my own for large swathes of time,” she says of her “full mental breakdown.” “It was bad, bad. Awful, actually.”

But the Sound of Metal star didn’t step back from acting to focus on her mental well-being.

“Oh, no, I was working all the way through,” says Cooke, who at the time was shooting both Ready Player One and Thoroughbreds. “I was very good at hiding it. If anything, I was like, let me escape myself.”

“ADHD is really tough,” she went on to say. “I have a little bit of OCD as well, which I just realized.

“I used to count the number of letters inside of words in my head, and I’d always want them to reach to 10.”

Simu Liu discussed his mental health and breakup in San Francisco

September 27, 2022 by Rafia Jawed

Simu Liu recently discussed his mental health at the Dreamforce conference.
He also revealed that he is going through a breakup.
The pair were first spotted together at the 2022 ESPY Awards in July.

Simu Liu recently discussed his struggles with mental health while making an appearance at the Dreamforce 2022 conference last week in San Francisco. When the actor said that he was going through a breakup, he also made a shocking confession. The discovery was made after he was questioned by Salesforce senior vice president Jody Kohner regarding mental health.

The Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings star spoke about prioritising his mental health and also spoke about starting therapy. Detailing how he has become more comfortable with the idea of therapy, Liu said, “I’m learning to prioritize myself, I’m becoming more and more comfortable with the idea of therapy and support systems. It really just hit me recently just how burnt out I was. I experienced moments where I’m living my dream and it didn’t quite feel like I was where I needed to be with myself.”

Adding on he said, “I’m also going through a breakup. That’s probably also contributing to it but that’s OK, I’ll be OK.” The actor’s revelation about a breakup left fans wondering whether the actor was talking about Jade Bender. Liu’s breakup comes just two months after he made his red carpet debut with Bender, during an appearance at the 2022 ESPY Awards in late July.

The duo had recently also made an appearance at the Bullet Train premiere last month. Liu and Bender were first linked in June when they were spotted leaving a Hollywood restaurant together.
