This year marks the 10th Anniversary of World Brain Day, hosted annually on July 22 by the World Federation of Neurology (WFN). Bringing public awareness, we aim to promote their this year’s theme “brain health and disability; Leave no one behind.” When it comes to healthcare, many of us tend to hide or ignore our body's signals and may be reluctant to visit a doctor for regular checkups. However, denying these issues can have serious consequences. Let's break this habit! The pandemic served as a wake-up call, emphasising the importance of prioritising and caring for our mental health. Unfortunately, for many individuals, accessing private healthcare and life-saving drugs for neurological conditions like epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, dementia, and Parkinson's disease is simply unaffordable. The burden of out-of-pocket costs can lead to medical debt, compromising essentials like food, and even result in patients not taking their necessary medications as prescribed. To shed light on this growing challenge of neurological disorders, we had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Pankaj Agarwal, Senior Consultant Neurologist and Head of the Department of Neurology at Global Hospitals in Mumbai.

In his just-released memoir, Sidhartha Mallya, who is now an actor and mental health advocate, discusses his struggle with depression and OCD. Once a regular face on Mumbai’s party circuit, Sidhartha now prefers the quiet life. He wakes up before dawn, meditates, heads out for a walk, often with his dog, and then hits the gym, before going for acting class. He hasn’t sipped alcohol in three years—the irony that he belongs to a family that has been one of the biggest producers of alcohol in the world. The lifestyle change, however, was spurred by his mental health journey. Sidhartha suffered from depression in 2016 and was later diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a condition he realised he had been living with all along.
