Aina Asif explained her viral statement about depression by saying that both medicine and prayer are important in mental illness.
Aina Asif is a young and talented actress who has already received praise for her strong performances in many popular dramas. Recently, in a show, she gave a clarification about a statement she made earlier, which had gone viral on social media. In that statement, she had talked about mental health, which is a sensitive topic.
During the show, Aina said that we usually talk about topics that we can personally relate to. That’s why she joined the discussion, because it was something close to her heart. However, she also accepted that her words could have been better.
She explained that in Pakistan, topics like depression and therapy are still considered taboo. She said that asking for help is a brave step. But when someone goes to a psychologist and is told that their faith in Allah is weak, they start feeling low about themselves. It feels like Allah is upset with them, even though only the person knows how strong their connection with Allah really is.
She added that just like we take medicine and pray when we are physically ill, the same applies to mental illness—both medicine and prayer are needed. People with mental health issues often struggle to manage their daily lives, so we should treat them with kindness and understanding.
Aina Asif’s statement has been appreciated by fans and mental health experts, and it is being seen as a positive step.
