And since she herself suffered, she wants to work towards improving the mental health scenario in our country.Deepika has been working towards the cause along with a team of doctors and psychiatrists. She will start her own foundation that will be called The Live, Love, Laugh Foundation. The name has been registered and while other details are yet to be finalised, she will start it on March 21 as this was the day that she decided to seek professional help last year.Although she has a packed schedule, Deepika is making time to understand the situation and is working towards it. She has decided to take up this common issue which is still considered a taboo and is dedicating 2015 to create mental health awareness.
