According to reports, one in seven children have mental health issues globally on top of that children are not comfortable talking about it, said India’s representative for United Nations Children's Fund.“Reports say that globally one in 7 children have mental health issues andCOVID has exaggerated that. We have seen that despite having issues children are not comfortable talking about it. We need to encourage children, adults and young people to share their anxiety, depression and bad thoughts so that we can help them. Addressing this stigma is a huge issue,” said Dr Yasmin Ali Haque.
