FIT speaks to Gynaecologist, Dr Tanaya Narendra, AKA Dr Cuterus, about sustainable period products, the menstrual cup, puritan culture, and eco-anxiety among mensturators. "I started using the cup in 2017, but my mum who was a gynaecologist, said no. Indian Gynaecologists tend to have a block in their head about using anything insertable inside the vagina before 'marriage'," says Dr Tanaya. "For the record, my mom also reacted the same way when she found out I was using it," says Anoushka. "A lot of this is linked to purity culture. There are a lot of things that we put in our bodies. These are extremely safe and very well tested," adds Dr Tanaya.

World Mental Health Day 2020: The lockdown has been ongong for several months, and it is difficult for everyone. Adjusting to the 'new normal', the isolation and the uncertainty have caused an increase in our anxiety and depressive episodes.
How are people with mental illnesses dealing with this time? For some, like Isha, lockdown has wornsed her anxiety and BDP diagnosis and pushed her to the edge of darkness. But for Maria, the lockdown provided an escape from her unhealthy routines and forced her to reckon with her emotions and behaviour patterns. "I had to really sit down with my emotions, and it has helpled me immensely. In lockdown, I could fous on myself without unhealthy distractions, and I was able to form healthy patterns. I exercise more often, my sleep pattern has become regularized, my online therapy helps as I was anxious to go in person before, and I have found healthy outlets like cooking."
Dr Ruksheda Syeda, a clinical psychiatrist said that different disorders and people have different reactions. For those with social anxiety, this time has been a blessing. Some people with psychiatric issues like depression and anxiety have gotten worse. "It has been different, for some economic pressures have pushed them into depression. For others, the option of online therapy has been a huge boon."

As per WHO, as of today, India is the most depressed country in the world. At any given point of time, nearly 50 million Indian children suffer from mental disorders, and this number will increase if the adolescent population is considered as well. The impact of mental illness is far beyond the imagination of society, in which the awareness about the severity of these diseases is the least. India has one of the highest suicide rates among those aged 15 to 29 and accounts for over a third of global suicides among women each year.
Despite such scary figures, Indian parents either worry about 'Log kya kahenge?' and suppress the need for psychological care. Others believe that depression and anxiety are an influence of 'western culture' and don't accept mental illness as a health concern and confirm to social stigma around it.
Kushank Negi and Akshara Bharat shared their stories of battling with their disorders in an environment where parents didn't understand mental illness.
