Exam stress and parental support

Over the last two decades, exam stress has become a mental health crisis in India with an increasing number of school and college going children reporting intense anxiety, chronic fatigue, mental fog and suicidal ideation. According to Pulkit Sharma, a well-known clinical psychologist, psychoanalytic therapist, spiritual counselor and author, timely emotional support and wisdom from parents goes a long way in helping children deal with exam stress.

This is an excerpt from an interview recorded in 2013 in which Pulkit Sharma spoke to Jagran Media team about the mental health issues confronting the Indian society. Although, it's been more than 13 years since this interview was recorded, the insights given by Pulkit Sharma continue to be very meaningful.
