Silent Struggles: Domestic Violence and Mental Health
30-10-2025

Domestic violence is a widespread issue worldwide. It not only causes physical harm but also severely impacts our mental health. It can cause trauma and emotional scars. Domestic Violence can be defined as physical, sexual, or psychological aggression by a partner. It is a major issue in Asia, South Asia in particular has recorded high rates of women experiencing abuse daily. The most common effect of domestic violence is depression.

Most South Asian societies follow patriarchy, where men are given more power than women, who are expected to focus on household duties and caregiving. This not only limits their access to education and jobs but also prevents them from becoming independent.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) affects an individual’s physical as well as psychological well-being. Victims of IPV are more likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. Women dealing with these issues also suffer from physical problems like chronic pain, headaches, mental health disorders, stress and stomach issues.

The impact of IPV is worsening because of the lack of resources and social support available to women. Many women find it difficult to access legal aid or counselling, which leaves them trapped in abusive relationships. Financial dependence makes women hard to leave their abusive partners.

Many organisations have been raising awareness, providing support to survivors, and even advocating for policy changes to protect the rights of victims. There has also been increasing importance given to culturally sensitive interventions that have been tailored to the challenges faced by women. However, several efforts like community-based interventions are being made to address this issue. By working together, we can create a safer and more supportive environment for women, ensuring that they no longer suffer in silence.

If you are someone experiencing Domestic Violence or IPV, know that you are not alone and that there are many resources that can help you. You can seek professional support by talking to mental health professionals.

20-11-2025

Stress is the psychological and physiological response to a situation that presents itself as a threat or challenge. Stress activates the small part behind the brain known as the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus secretes hormones that trigger our fight or flight response. As per studies, the primary hormone released is cortisol which increases the glucose levels in our bloodstream. This enables the body to efficiently carry out the brain and muscle repair functions. At the same time, it inhibits inessential functions such as the reproductive and digestive systems.

Types of Stress

1. Acute Stress:

Short-term and temporary stress response to specific situations or demands. Typically triggered by immediate stressors like deadlines, exams, traffic, or sudden unexpected events. Involves activation of the body's "fight-or-flight" response, releasing adrenaline and cortisol.

2. Episodic Acute Stress:

A pattern of repeated episodes of acute stress experienced by individuals. Individuals may exhibit symptoms of persistent tension, irritability, anxiety, and physical health issues related to stress.

3. Chronic Stress:

Long-term and persistent stress that persists over an extended period. Arises from ongoing life circumstances or chronic stressors such as work pressures, financial problems, relationship issues, or health conditions. Prolonged exposure to stress hormones like cortisol can lead to cardiovascular problems, weakened immune function, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and depression.

Symptoms of Stress

Stress can impact various aspects of your health and well-being. Physical and Psychological stress symptoms involve widened pupils, increased heart rate, increased sweating, anxiety, sleep disturbances, muscle tension, increased anger and irritability, migraines, hypertension, insomnia, panic attacks, headaches, fatigue, memory problems, depression and negative thinking
