“Do your research and get them help because it took them a ton of courage and sleepless nights and crying and anxiety to come to this conclusion; to let somebody in on their illness hoping you could help; So do try and help,” Aamir added. “And do not brush it off saying things like “it will be okay” “you should be happy more” don’t give them that. Tell them their issues are serious and that you understand!”

She further wrote, “Comfort them make them feel safe and consult a psychologist or psychiatrist if need be. Spread awareness! It’s important for everyone to understand because 1 out of 4 people battle depression or anxiety every year and we all need to be aware and there for them!”

Her words were supported by fellow artist, Asim Azhar. Commenting on Hania’s post, her alleged beau wrote, “The sooner we realise the position that we’ve been blessed with by God, the amount of people we can inspire and motivate, the better affect we’ll have on our society.”

He continued, “We are blessed with the power to reach people, and this is exactly what we need to do. Aware society.”
