🚬 To***co, responsible for the deaths of 8 million people annually, is also a major polluter, contaminating our water and contributing to deforestation. Alarmingly, it is increasingly targeting our children and youth.

⚠️ Currently, around 37 million children aged 13-15 years are using some form of to***co. It is our collective responsibility to protect them from these predatory marketing tactics.

📽️ Watch our latest video where we discuss the impact of to***co, available treatments, and the path forward. Your support in raising awareness and taking action is crucial.

Thank you.

🌟 Understanding Bipolar Disorder 🧠
Bipolar disorder, a chronic mood disorder, affects millions worldwide. In India, it’s prevalent in about 0.5% of the population. Typically emerging around age 20, it doesn’t discriminate between genders.

Despite its impact, nearly 70% of patients lack adequate treatment. Even then, up to 60% patients struggle with medication adherence which leads to 50% recurrence rate within 2 years.

Factors like rapid cycling, substance use, anxiety disorders, or residual symptoms heighten the risk of relapse.

Let’s spread awareness and support those affected!
