A single Instagram post or WhatsApp story cannot begin to capture the complexity and diversity of mental health. Given that there are at least 10,000 disorders in the world, symptoms of one condition frequently coincide with those of hundreds of other conditions. Despite being a powerful resource, the internet frequently has more negative effects than positive ones, especially when it comes to your physical and mental health. We highly advise you to not self diagnose. Consult a counsellor or a psychologist for accurate diagnosis.Taking this step could make all the difference in terms of your wellness, quality of life, and future. In addition to being inaccurate, self-diagnosis can also be risky. You run the risk of receiving incorrect treatment if you make snap judgments about the disorder you have. Thus, you should never attempt to self-diagnose a mental disorder. It's great to be self-aware of your mental health and actively seek solutions but reaching an accurate diagnosis is a complex process, thus, best left to experts in the field!

What should you know before starting therapy?/ What should I know before I start therapy?
Therapy is taxing at first, because vulnerability and openness to talking about one’s life is not easy. It is important to accept that therapy will require some emotional work on your part. But this, in turn, will equip your therapist with tools to help you identify your issues and resolve them in a healthy and adaptive manner. For therapy to be effective, your conscious and active effort is just as important as the therapist’s role.
Note- On PurpleSpace, by the term ‘therapy’, we specifically refer to mental and emotional health related therapy.
"Probably the biggest insight...is that happiness is not just a place, but also a process. happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges, and it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy"
