Mental health is not something to be joked about, especially in a society where discussing it is already such a taboo. A society like ours where young people are prone to troubling mental health because of various external, and internal factors, needs politicians who can at least be mindful if not actively helping develop policies and measures to work on a possible epidemic.

The statement by Bilawal and other politicians is being criticized by everyone for all the right reasons. People have gone on to mention that making jokes about mental health and using serious terms like suicide for attaining political gains is the worst act and this needs to stop.
