Why 90% of Us Ignore This Early Depression Sign | Shruthi GK | #TGV734

Season 1, Ep. 734
•

In this episode of The Guiding Voice, host Naveen Samala sits down with Shruthi GK—former structural engineer turned mental health facilitator, life coach, and founder of Manas Jyothi. Shruthi shares her journey of transitioning from building physical structures to helping people build resilient mental and emotional foundations.


We explore why stress is inevitable but suffering is optional, the difference between stress, anxiety, and depression, the hidden toll of digital isolation on youth, and how ancient Indian psychology (from Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras to music therapy and the three Gunas) holds practical answers for modern mental fitness.


If you or a loved one are feeling overwhelmed, remember that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. You can reach the Government of India's Tele-MANAS helpline 24/7 at 14416 for free, confidential mental health support.
