Here is the exact message posted by Mariam Ansari on her social media handle: “I often watch certain reels on Instagram which make motherhood look so easy and unrealistic. I mean I barely get time to eat a meal on time and little things like taking a picture, ironing clothes, getting ready and eating becomes a luxury. So all the ladies out there who just became mothers just know that Instagram is not real and you are doing a great job.”
It is quite common these days to develop insecurities after coming across the unrealistic lifestyle standards promoted on social media with vigor.
However, it is quite important to understand that people only choose to share those aspects of their lives which they feel comfortable with because no one can know what actually happens behind the scenes and what someone is going through in real life.
Mental health conditions are not uncommon. It’s estimated that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will experience major depression in their lives. Other conditions, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are less common but still have a large impact on people’s lives.
In 2019, 1 in every 8 people, or 970 million people around the world were living with a mental disorder, with anxiety and depressive disorders the most common.
In 2020, the number of people living with anxiety and depressive disorders rose significantly because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
