Digital comics help Gen Z express mental health struggles

For a long time, people in India have kept mental health issues quiet, often seeing them as personal flaws.

But now, a new generation of digital artists is using comics to talk about these issues openly.

These comics, which are easy to share on platforms like Instagram and Tumblr, help people understand and talk about their feelings.

Artists like Shoili Kanungo, Akshara Ashok, and Ramya Sriram create comics that show what it's like to deal with anxiety, dissociation, and other mental health struggles.

These comics reach people all over India, even in small towns, and help create communities where people can support each other.

While these comics aren't a replacement for professional help, they do help people feel less alone and more understood.
