<557> Moulana Tariq Jamil’s son Asim Jamil’s tragic suicide due to depressive illness has prompted me to write this op-ed in @Dawn_News today. May Allah bless his soul. Depression is actually very common in Pakistan and there is so much silent suffering, ignorance and stigmatisation. dawn.com/news/1786013/dealin…

💬 The mental health conversation has come such a long way in recent years.
However, there is still a large amount of misunderstanding surrounding mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar.
We can't keep being left behind.
