When was the last time you were depressed?" asks Dr Yusuf Merchant. Had this been his therapy room, the answer — Monday — would have been more forthcoming. But this is The St Jude Project on Bandra's Waroda Road, the creative centre for Riyaaz Amlani's Impressario Restaurants. And unlike the privacy of a therapist's room, there's an entire audience here. Yet, that's the taboo that's under the lens today — to remove the stigma attached to mental health disorders.
