Born in London, and raised in the United States, Dr. Shriram Nene happens to be one of the most sought-after doctors (Healthcare Innovator and Cardiovascular Surgeon) in the world. Besides that, he is also the loving and caring husband of Bollywood’s very own ‘dhak dhak’ lady Madhuri Dixit. Mid-Day Online caught up with him for an exclusive interview, wherein he highlighted the importance of having a sound mental health, amongst other important things.
Dr. Nene, can you elaborate on the importance of Mental Health in today`s time?
In India, it has always been about mind, body, and soul but we don`t spend enough time on mental health and in my opinion, it is an untapped reservoir of strength, and it is something we underestimate in terms of what extent this disease is. Moreover, globally as well as in India we disconnect the brain and more importantly mental health from the critical features of health care overall. So, I think that it`s so important at this age and time to bring everything together and say that things are important regarding mental health and with regards to your happiness. In particular, one of the things which I think is critical is that we accept the fact that mental health is something that we need to contend with and this was never much clear during the pandemic.
