The person with OCD usually tries to actively dismiss the obsessions or neutralize them by engaging in compulsions or avoiding situations that trigger them. In most cases, compulsions serve to alleviate anxiety.

"Part of the struggle I face is finding practitioners who understand my point of view and who can work within the confines of my religious, ethnic and cultural identity. Thankfully from the beginning, I’ve had a Muslim psychiatrist who has been my rock and at times literally a life saver. I always felt like he understood my emotional and psychological issues in a way that enhanced my spiritual inclinations. That has truly been a blessing."

"It was truly a unique experience — one I haven’t had from those of a different racial or religious background before."

Five years ago, I attempted su***de because of bipolar disorder.

Actress Shama Sikander shares her story of hope after recovering from a su***de attempt and negotiating the cultural stigma of bipolar in India.

The actress has no qualms saying that she was on a forced two-year break after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Of all the battles that a person fights, the toughest is perhaps the one against ill-health, be it mental or physical.

Many individuals within the South Asian culture do not share their personal stressors with anyone and prefer to keep these suppressed. The more they keep these negative experiences hidden, the more harm they cause to themselves. I was one of these individuals for several years until I decided to change this and speak out against the stigma.

On March 10, 2011, I lost my mother to su***de. I never thought something like this would happen to my family, but it did. My mom was gone. My life changed overnight, and I was forced to become this person I was not ready to be.

It was not until my mother’s unexpected death that I realized the power of these cultural differences and how they impacted our lives. I struggled to process what happened. When someone asked me how my mother died, I could not say what happened and would avoid answering how she passed away. I felt so lost and confused without her. I felt sad and angry at the same time. I avoided going to temple due to the fears of my family being judged or talked about.
