In this bilingual (Hindi‑Hinglish) YouTube interview, Dr. Priti Nanda Sibal launches a new channel aimed at cutting through the flood of confusing COVID‑19 information and providing practical, evidence‑based guidance on mental health. She invites Dr. Roma Vidas, a senior child‑health psychologist and co‑founder of the online therapy platform Emotionally, to discuss how the pandemic has reshaped mental well‑being. The dialogue moves from the unexpected positive lessons of lockdown – slower pace, minimalism, deeper family connections – to the stark rise in anxiety, depression and stress (e.g., a cited study showing 43 % of Indians feeling depressed). They explore stigma around therapy, the need for emotional literacy in children, and concrete self‑care strategies such as regular sleep, routine, limiting social‑media exposure, gratitude journaling, yoga, meditation, and functional‑medicine insights linking diet, sugar intake, fungal infections and disrupted sleep to mood disorders. The conversation also touches on economic hardships, job loss, and how many professionals have pivoted to new skills or home‑based enterprises. Throughout, both doctors stress the importance of virtual connection, community support, and encouraging people to seek professional help without shame. The interview ends with a hopeful call to embrace self‑care, gratitude, and resilience during and after the pandemic.
