Summary

In this insightful conversation, Dr. Amrit delves into a wide range of psychological challenges affecting today’s society. He explores how emotional violence, gambling, and digital addiction are silently eroding mental well-being, while emphasizing the critical role of family involvement in recovery. The discussion unpacks the emotional disconnect in digital relationships, the invisible epidemic of internet addiction, and the stigmas and shortcomings of therapy in India.

Dr. Amrit also highlights the importance of cultural context in therapy, the need for mental health awareness, and why mental health must be treated with the same urgency as physical health. He addresses the growing sense of loneliness and emotional pain, especially intensified post-COVID, and shares global perspectives on internet control and how it shapes freedom, expression, and mental wellness.

Takeaways

We’re drowning in digital noise—addicted to screens, but starved for real connection. Emojis have replaced emotions, and therapy is still stigmatized and inaccessible for many in India.

Mental health is urgent, but often ignored. Cyberbullying, gambling, and toxic relationships are silently damaging our youth. Family support, empathy, and culturally aware care are critical to healing.

Post-COVID, many feel over-connected yet emotionally alone.

Technology should help us thrive—not drive us apart.

It’s time we treat mental health as vital as physical health and start talking, healing, and supporting—together.
