Dr H N Roy Mental Health Awareness Initiative
Public mental health education, awareness, and legacy initiative for Hajipur, Vaishali, Bihar and surrounding communities.
Mental health problems are real, treatable, and should never be hidden due to shame, fear, or superstition. This initiative shares simple, reliable, and compassionate awareness about mental health, de-addiction, family wellbeing, student stress, and timely professional care.
For appointments and medical consultation, please visit the official clinic website: www.drhnroy.com or call +91-9546782188.
Why This Initiative Exists
Many families in Bihar still delay mental health treatment because of stigma, misinformation, fear, or belief in superstition. Conditions like depression, anxiety, addiction, OCD, sleep disorders, anger problems, and student stress are often misunderstood.
This awareness initiative explains these issues in simple language and encourages families to seek professional help at the right time. मानसिक स्वास्थ्य कमजोरी नहीं है. समय पर सहायता लेना समझदारी है.
Awareness reduces fear. Compassion helps families talk. Professional care gives people a better chance to recover safely.
