Here are a few Bollywood films that focus on mental health issues.
Mental health has received a lot of attention during the last several years. It required a lot of effort on the part of mental health educators and sufferers to make it acceptable to talk about it. People looked down on it, and it was hardly discussed in many families. However, Bollywood has now taken the problem into its own hands. We all know how movies influence viewers, thus it's one of the most effective ways to raise awareness.
Here are some Bollywood movies that talk about mental health-
1. Dear Zindagi

Alia Bhatt appears in the film, which also features Shah Rukh Khan, Ira Dubey, Kunal Kapoor, Angad Bedi, Ali Zafar, Yashaswini Dayama, and Rohit Suresh Saraf. The story revolves around a budding cinematographer who is unhappy with her life and meets a free-spirited psychologist who helps her obtain a new perspective.
2. 15 Park Avenue
)
‘15 Park Avenue’ is a touching, agonisingly real, and hard-hitting film that, for the first time, focuses on the strong-willed caregiver – Anjali AKA Anu (Shabana Azmi). Mitali AKA Meethi (Konkona Sen Sharma), her younger sister, has been suffering from underlying schizophrenia tendencies since childhood, and it has radically changed her life after a catastrophe while on a professional job.

4. Taare Zameen Par
)
Aamir Khan's beautiful and deeply poignant tribute to differently abled children is ‘Taare Zameen Par’. It follows Ishaan Avasthi (Darsheel Safary), an eight-year-old who is anything from ‘normal' in a world of norms, regulations, and lost innocence.
