Laughing in the face of depression
Hindustan Times“We do this because it’s the only thing that makes us feel alive” — comedian Daniel Fernandes’ words hit hard during his special, titled Shadows. Kaneez Surka “It is important to go beyond creating a picture-perfect impression of one’s life on social media,” begins, Sweta Mantrii, 32. If I don’t get on stage on a given night, I get really anxious.” Agreeing with him, Kaneez believes that the reason why some get into comedy is because “a lot of comedians struggle with mental health issues. We can’t just smile 24x7 — that’s creepy.” But on a serious note, he urges on, “We need a union in the comedy circuit, so health care, including mental health therapy and consultation, could be a part of it.” Comedians like Daniel advise people to first understand their condition and then manage their triggers.
