@@gguitarcrazyy yeah ... that's true... The worst scenario is even when people around is ready to listen or understand , the suffering person is not able to open up. It is so sad for both parties
I can't tell how precious this interview is.. in fact all of the interviews you have done in this series Dhanya ma'am.. But this one specifically, it's very very precious.. Archana, thank you for speaking your heart out. I can only imagine how difficult it would have been for you to open up .. but This is going to help a lot of people in ways you wouldn't have thought.. Love ❤️
I love the way how dhanya listens to what Archana is saying. Like a friend, like a mum, like someone who wants to listen when archana was sharing her reading inability. unlike interviews today where they lack listening skill.. Every depressed person needs a person who listens like how dhanya does!!!!
A big bow to both of you , as a mental health professional ,also dealing with learning disabled children i greatly appreciate for conversations like these...i became teary in many moments...i can't imagine her whole life not knowing the reason for her struggles... Just respect respect only respect for her....
The love I had for Archana peaked and is over the top now! I have been following her for a while now. Truly she is inspirational. Thank you Dhanya Varma for the platform you've created to show us her and her story.
വിവാദങ്ങളിൽ പെട്ടിട്ടുള്ള , divorce e ആയ ഒരു celebrity യെ കിട്ടിയാൽ ഇപ്പോൾ interviews അവരെ വെറുപ്പിച്ച് കയ്യിൽ തരും' Dhanya... Ur such a gem 💎. How beautiful ..ur talking to the persons. U respect them... We malayali wants these type of interviews.. thanks
I haven't seen a raw interview like this so far in recent times.Hats off to the host for letting Archana speak her heart out and sharing her side of life. More power to women like her ...! I hope she keeps fine and receives all the help possible from near and dear ones. It is so important to find the right people to clinically diagnose and propose the right treatment plan based on the individuals present state of mind. Unfortunately,we don't have many such experts in India who know what they speak or have a clue on what to do. Most commonly suggested "solution" for a person with depression,if unmarried,is to get married and if married and depressed,then have a kid. This itself explains the "expertise" available in our country.
Even in film companion interviews people are not comfortable to explain their vulnerabilities. It is danya who can do it effortlessly. Archana definitely a wonderful person who is real.
ഒരാൾ പറയുന്നത് കേട്ടിരിക്കുക മാത്രമല്ല ചെറിയ ചിരിയോട് കൂടി അവർക്ക് സംസാരിക്കാൻ space കൊടുക്കുക എന്നതും ഒരു ചെറിയ കാര്യമല്ല 🔥🔥dats y dis lady is spcl 4 me😘❣️dhanya ❣️ inspirational talk archana 😘
I'm a C-PTSD patient due to generational trauma and abuses, and that "namukonnu kulichalo" kind of re-parenting that you do to yourself tears me up also. I'm here doing such lil things with me every day these days to get me up and do things. It's hard. 🥺 And the weather thing. I don't need a person too to be hyperactive when in such moments. 😅❤️ Hugs dear ❤️ I feel you totally as C-PTSD has some BPD traits. But we got this.💪🏻 We are greater than our ups and downs. We are warriors. Awareness is the key. We all deserve healing ❤️
This just hit different!! 🥹 Archana has the gift of soulful story telling. Even though I never had any of her mental health conditions, I could feel and connect to everything she said. Dhanya Varma, as usual! Queen of beautiful conversations that pull at your heartstrings! I wish there were more media folks like you.
Hats off Archana!! Nobody can have the guts to say that they were diagnosed bipolar. Lots of love.. Tats immense strength you showed. I remember seeing your TH-cam video long back when you were about to develop the symptoms. I was so upset. Am glad to see you as a happier person today.
Teared up ....hats off archana for opening up about mental health and learning disability and dhanya too for showing the compassion throughout the interview 😊
Never felt so touched watching an interview. The nuances , the pure form of introspection, the way Archana talked about her experiences without any hesitation is such a great thing . So empowering to see her core strength and life hurdles. A talk session without any drama or unnecessary questions. How beautifully Dhanya chechi listened to her and asked the right questions. Now this is called an interview in all its standards. Many media pages and people should take notes on this . This is how u make a talk show productive. Loved it ❤️
'Taare Zameen Par' really helped many kids and their families to identify dyslexia. My best friend also realized she's a person with dyslexia after 'Taare Zameen Par'❤
I've never heard a person about takingbabout their dyslexia situation. I remember getting frustrated and cry during my math classes if i couldn't understand what they were teaching. Same way, the emotion i felt while watching " the reader" and crying cuz i could never go through life if i could never be able to read. Huge love archana. You've come a long way. Kudos.
Talking about depression is not easy, especially in our community. Telling people that you're going to therapy or taking medication is not easy, especially in our community. But more and more people need to speak up so that others that are struggling through such things understand that's it's okay, they're okay and that they're brave to reach out and get help! To know, you're strong! My father was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression for 3 yrs. He struggled a lot to get through his days, like Archana mentioned some days he was his old self and other days he barely could move. And one day he decided that he can't take it anymore and he ended his battle... He gave up fighting to stay afloat. There are so many people out there that are going through these things. The more we speak about it the more people will have awareness and the more people will be equipped to help others that need the support! Thank you Archana for speaking up. Thank you Dhanya chechi for giving her the space and the attention she needed to open up about it. Great interview!
She is a true warrior for sharing very sensitive aspects of her life. Often times we neglect our mental health or your family doesn’t understand how to deal with such emotions. Hats off for bringing mental illness into awareness and sharing your story!
This wasn’t an interview really. This is all heart and soul. Such honest revelations, things you’d perhaps only share with your closest one. Archana, I do hope you realise you’re helping us as a society to be more comfortable discussing mental health. Thanks Dhanya, for having her on the show♥️
This interview is on another level....just took me somewhere else.made me think.made me cry.made me laugh .made me surprised.made me fell in love( with both of you) .made me connect .💜💜💜
I just loved the way how Archana accepts her and how she makes the mood lighter each time after explaining different hard phases of her life...got lot to learn from this amazing conversation, thankyou both of u❤❤❤❤
Being diagnosed with bipolar 9 years back, i can totally relate to whatever she's saying. It's a difficult journey and to top it up with very less awareness and support from your near and dear ones. Cheers to her.!!
After watching this episode...so much of respect for Archana. U inspire me and many others watching this. Thanks a lot Dhanya chechi for bringing her . Lots of respect for both .
I don't have words to express what I feel watching this interview. I'm in tears. Archana... You are amazing. A true fighter. A lot of things you shared about yourself rang a bell with my journey through depression and anxiety too. From pulling yourself out of the bed and putting together acts for survival to trying not to do anything extreme... And those repeated patterns every month... It's so relatable. Thank you for sharing it all in public. And Dhanya, as I always say, an amazing host. This episode will always remain special for me, personally. Love from Paris. 💕💕💕
I am going thru clinical depression ....I can totally relate to what she said...every day is a new day in this phase...wishing all the very best to Archana...thank you Dhanya for this wonderful show .
I am teared up now… thank u Dhanya Mam again for the amazing question and patient listening.. Hats off Archana for talking your heart out .. I can totally relate on how you explained playing with your mind, being numb and doing nothing but focusing on staying alive … you r indeed very strong.. looking forward for many conversations .. part 3 and part 4 :)
Just can't express how relieved I feel after listening to Archana.. RELATABLE LIKE HELL.. Hats off to Archana for speaking up.. it takes hell lots of courage to speak about mental health. And of course her family especially her dad.. ❤️
My mom has been going through endless suffering without a single pain in her body for the last few months. It is encouraging to see more people are willing to talk about mental health and not hide under the pretence that everything is ok.
Please refer somatoform disorder which is a mental condition where a person experience real pain in body but not having any physical issues. This is mostly seen in after 30s women who don't get any kind of attention from others especially their partners and their unconscious mind in making this pain to get care and attention from others. They keep changing the doctors until some doctor said they have some problem. Its makes them felt acknowledged.We can manage this by giving extra care to them. Understand their feelings, counseling, make them engage in some activities which they feel worth about themselves.
Literally in tears, mainly as it hit home hard. I have no words to say how touching this conversation was. Kudos to Archana for openly talking about such a relevant issue, regardless the vulnerability she put herself in. Sure it will help a lot of people who are suffering silently❤ ❤❤
More power to you Archana 💪.You addressed the Elephant in the room. It's a blessing to have supportive parents.This interview is a snipet of the ordeals many go through. Mental wellness over everything else.
Dhanya, you don't have another face. You are a peace creator. Just look at 21:09 how nicely you pampered her with that quick optimistic encouraging note with a wink.
Such a beautiful conversation 👏 Takes a lot of courage to share your raw experiences in social media. Hats off to Dhanya Varma and Archie for having this conversation 👍👍👍 Must Watch 👍
Huge respect to her and her parents. Unless you are having a solid support system it will get difficult to hustle. And I still have a bit of disappointment in abish to leave her alone through all this
Archana..Your are such a motivation for children with Dyslexia...Your are so positive...Academics achievement is not the end of all children..So nice you are so open..Please help motivate other kids.
Thank you for this beautiful interview. For people in Kerala, who stigmatize against people with mental health disorders and learning disability, this should be an eye opener for understanding this condition and not being judgemental.
Beautiful conversation. Hatts off to Archana. You are a great inspiration. Got tears. This s why your show s special. This interview s very special to those who goes through mental health problems. This is who you are ! Wonderful! You are way to go. Thanks to your parents and teachers for acceptance, without that you won't be confident. As Dhanya said it s difficult to describe what you are going through. You did with very lightness and lovely. People should learn from you. God bless both of them.
First time I'm hearing a malayali actress so articulate about mental health.World is changing and so are we .. its high time we prioritise mental health. Having understanding family matters the most.💓.
Thankyou archana for saying that a lot of people don't want to have kids .most of them fear to say it openly fearing judgement.This interview was just very emotional to hear to.i teared up many times.
For anybody who has a child with dislexia, please note that each board gives concessions for such kids for the board exams. You just need to get it certified and produce it to the board. Dr Anjali Morris Foundation is an NGO in India that works to help such kids to learn methods that work for them.
If you could elaborate on the topic it would be helpful . I had problems with numbers from school itself but now I have a degree in engineering .but the struggle I had to go through and the time it took me to get the degree is unimaginable . Was depressed and had been addicted to substance too coz I couldn't finish my degree on time .I always knew I had discalculia but my mom didn't want to acknowledge it .if you could explain how and we're you could get it certified it would be helpful for a lot of people.
This is indeed a must watch episode for everyone! Archana, more power to you girl! You’re undoubtedly passing on a loot of lessons… and Thank You Dhanya, for giving us this & for all what you’re doing. Kudos! Love and respect to you both ❤️❤️
As someone with learning disability, I can completely relate with everything she said. But what's different in my case is that it totally destroyed my confidence and self esteem. Eventhough I've found ways to deal with my disability, the scars still remain even after 12 years and doesn't look like it's going to heal anytime soon. The thought that always comes back to me is if only someone had diagnosed me back then and my life would have been totally different.
There is no age/ time limit to improving. Dont close doors feeling its gone. Your new day starts from now on. Know that you are capable, smart. Earlier, if there were failures, it was not you, just a disability getting your way because of the way our education/system was setup. I wish and hope its a new beginning now on and your confidence and self esteem returns and you thrive in life ❤
You understood what happened in past was not your mistake and the people were wrong which is a great achievement. They should be worried about and improve. You excel in whatever you are interesting in and rock🤘
What Archana said at last part of show is really true… your interviews is actually kind of therapy.. it is really helping people.. infact it’s helping me !!
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much Dhanya!! 🙏🙏🙏 Big hugs to Archana. And thank you for being so mature. The world needs more people like you. 🤗🤗😘😘
You made me cry Archana!!😰 I could feel pain in my heart when I listened to you! Lots of love girl🥰🥰❤️. And a big hug for your parents for what they are!
My Gosh I never understood why she chose Abish. They were a mismatch. Archaea I feel love for u. U r a good human being. Only good things will come to you. Please wait. Lots of prayers.
Firstly thanks to dhanya chechi for bringing archana kavi to this show.. the way archana sees her life and how beautifully she is enjoying her as how she is remarkable. This is how a human being should be .. we should really appreciate her for telling everything out in public to make ppl aware of different lives. This is called a strong lady .. and u are so lucky that u have got a brilliant school and parents as backbone which many ppl dont get and wat turns their way down .. the position where she is now sitting in an interview as a celebrity shows how successful she is in her life and that makes her successful and it gives alot of ppl more knowledge to know that think before u utter a word to another person coz nobody knows what is happening in the other person's life .. be kind or be quiet.. keep rocking archana ❤️
Not many will reveal all this in public platform ! Kudos to you girl , Archana! You will do well in life ! Archana might be so relieved talking to Dhanya !
This interview was like a breath of fresh air.... Kudos to Dhanya for listening to what Archana had to say... Archana hang in there girl... Lots of luv n prayers..
👉I really want Archana to come bak actively to youtube like before. Its good that shes active in serials now. But pls dont leave TH-cam bcoz u were the One of the Best even before many came into YT. So, pls do some webseries & content vlogs👍
When more and more ppl talk about mental illness openly, the so called stigma around this will slowly disappear. More ppl should come forward and share their experiences. Not every mental illness needs to be categorised as psychosis. I had an employee who suffered from bipolar and he was very good in his job during his 'high' phase. There were a few days he was unable to perform his tasks. We accommodated him to certain extent and he spent ~6 months with us. He could not handle the work pressure and he decided to take a break and focus on his health for sometime. Though bipolar varies from patient to patient, there is proven treatment in Homeo. I know a few patients who are able to manage a decent quality of life with regular medicines, yoga and meditation.
The interviewer, she is amazing, and she has giving a complete freedom to the host,, simply sitting and listening,,,, Archana she was amazed with her detailing
Hi archana You are extremely bold to open up...very few celebrities have the courage to share this....hats off to you. Your movie ,neelathamara was superb. Wishing you all the best for a bright and happy future. God bless. Lots of love 😘
I personally adored Deepika padukone on talking about her depression story. But here Archana speaks about how the depression process in a body and how she pampers herself for a small habitual thing called bath !!! Highly relatable Archana .. you should be around for the right reasons !!!
More power to you Archana for speaking out and being as real as can be. Mental health is a journey, like you rightly said. It isn't always a low and then success all of a sudden. People expect you to snap out of it quickly like it's a phase. It's not! And why I say that? Because I too am a recently divorced woman who went through hell and needed help. Mine is not amicable like yours. It's been 2 years and I still have nightmares that I am back at his place. Whenever my therapist say we can stop sessions, after 2 months I would have to restart because the scar is that deep. It takes time. And I learnt to be very loving and gentle with myself. Anyone reading this in similar situation - hold onto your family and your close friends. Their role in your recovery is very important.
It's so commendable that the school and family supported her so well. It's a rare thing to hear. Thank you Dhanya Varma for bringing this strong lovable human being to share her journey and supporting her story telling with empathy. It's a beautiful episode as usual 💖
This is such a raw interview. Archana you definitely are a warrior. As Dhanyechi said takes a lot of courage to talk about it. This was just such a beautiful conversation, Dhanyechi!
I'm so glad that I clicked on this interview and watched it. I, myself feel so happy and this interview changed my whole idea of Archana! Such a gem of a person ❤️
Archana talks about both her sides with so much grace. To me, this itself is her success. In a world, where we showcase only the glorious side of life, this stands out in its own way. More power to you. I love myself, with all the madness…. That is my takeaway 😊
One of the bestttttt interview ever,,,, conducted soooo greatly.. the exact stage many including me going through by fighting each day to even get up from bed but cant skip always as we have to earn to survive too.. many days we fail in that too n that itself makes us feel only we have this issue as nobody else would be brave enough to open up like this…. All love to Archana n Dhanya chechi ❤❤❤👍👍👍👏👏👏
I'm watching this interview with a bad mental health, but mind full of exposure. I'm in a place where I think, overthink, cry at places that I shouldn't, and everything ruined. But I'm also at that place where I have a lot of ideas and understanding about myself, and that I have that inner energy towards doing it. This interview was worth it. I'd come back whenever I'm not okay and watch this. I'd comeback and watch this whenever I need that little push. Love you Archana and so thankful to Dhanya ❤️
i can say that her insight into her own struggles are the real solution to overcome her difficult situation.The conversation is worth watching,some thing so different from our recent cliche interviews.hats off you archana and dhanya.
Archana, couple times watched you say “I’m not perfect, it’s not a cool thing” etc. etc. After watching this interview, I feel like you’re the coolest person I’ve ever heard. I’ve huge admiration and respect to you. A loved one of mine has pmdd and I know what she goes through. And to openly talk about mental health and discuss issues like dyslexia, hats off; you are such a wonderful person. Much love❤ And Dhanya, you deserve so much appreciation for an interview like this. Other media personnel has a lot to learn from you. You’re amazing❤
I am so proud of you Archana! Having dyslexia itself is difficult.. in spite of not getting specific reading support and surviving that entire school journey with your parents and teacher supports is amazing.. at the end you accept, learn and cherish every aspect and experiences in your life.. and that you are unapologetic about yourself is something the the millennials need to imbibe from you! Kudos to you! More power to you girl! 🎉😊
My God Dhanya u will b blessed. Cos this interview is... I'm tearing up. Thankyou Archana thankyou.. God bless. And thankyou for being who u r today. It takes a lot of willpower to be at where u r. Thanks for sharing and pls know u r not alone..
This made me tear up. Love the honesty of Archana and the compassion the interviewer shows. Hats off to Archana's family, school and friends who were so supportive! Everyone needs someone who willingly listens to them without any judgment and provide a shoulder to lean on during struggles. One can open up only if there are people who listen to them. Sometimes it is good to remain single. If the partner is not supportive, it can adversely affect one's mental health. Hormones and such make women's life more complicated while men for men, it is more neurodevelopmental issues (mild autism and such). I hope everyone human being develops empathy and understanding, so people around them can lean on them in times of struggle.
Oh Dhanya Ma'am this is such a pure bliss. Thankyou for making it happen. And I must say Archana is just a beauty inside out. Much love to both of you.!!!

This single interview changed our understanding about Archana as a person and huge respect for what you achieved and what you are.
So true !
💯
✌
Exactly
Mental health is not a joke.. Only people who had gone through it will know how difficult it is..
I feel like her parents and her teachers are the best. Understanding and accepting is best thing they can do to a human
And it's so so so rare.. sadly..
@@gguitarcrazyy yeah ... that's true...
The worst scenario is even when people around is ready to listen or understand , the suffering person is not able to open up. It is so sad for both parties
ഇത്ര മനോഹരമായി ആത്മവിശ്വാസത്തോടെ, മാനസിക ആരോഗ്യത്തെ കുറിച്ച് സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോൾ എങ്ങനെ ഒരു കമന്റ് ഇടാതെ പോവും. Positivity ♥️ ♥️

One of the best interviews from Kerala.. Proud of u Archana & much love 💕. Thanks a ton to Dhanya 👏👏
Hands down, the best interview so far. Dhanya is so compassionate and hats off Archana Kavi for opening up .
Congratulations you just won a prize 🎁message on telegram👆 to claim your price thanks for watching and commenting
Such a beautiful conversation 👏 Takes a lot of courage to share your raw experiences in social media. Hats off to Dhanya Varma and Archie for having this conversation 👍👍👍 Must Watch 👍
Huge respect to her and her parents. Unless you are having a solid support system it will get difficult to hustle. And I still have a bit of disappointment in abish to leave her alone through all this
Archana..Your are such a motivation for children with Dyslexia...Your are so positive...Academics achievement is not the end of all children..So nice you are so open..Please help motivate other kids.
Thank you for this beautiful interview. For people in Kerala, who stigmatize against people with mental health disorders and learning disability, this should be an eye opener for understanding this condition and not being judgemental.
Beautiful conversation. Hatts off to Archana. You are a great inspiration. Got tears. This s why your show s special. This interview s very special to those who goes through mental health problems. This is who you are ! Wonderful! You are way to go. Thanks to your parents and teachers for acceptance, without that you won't be confident. As Dhanya said it s difficult to describe what you are going through. You did with very lightness and lovely. People should learn from you.
God bless both of them.
It's really an eye opener to parents! Kudos to Archana for their courage to open up about her disability 💐
First time I'm hearing a malayali actress so articulate about mental health.World is changing and so are we .. its high time we prioritise mental health. Having understanding family matters the most.💓.
Thankyou archana for saying that a lot of people don't want to have kids .most of them fear to say it openly fearing judgement.This interview was just very emotional to hear to.i teared up many times.
For anybody who has a child with dislexia, please note that each board gives concessions for such kids for the board exams. You just need to get it certified and produce it to the board. Dr Anjali Morris Foundation is an NGO in India that works to help such kids to learn methods that work for them.
I’m a Psy student interested in dyslexic children and make them empower
If you could elaborate on the topic it would be helpful . I had problems with numbers from school itself but now I have a degree in engineering .but the struggle I had to go through and the time it took me to get the degree is unimaginable . Was depressed and had been addicted to substance too coz I couldn't finish my degree on time .I always knew I had discalculia but my mom didn't want to acknowledge it .if you could explain how and we're you could get it certified it would be helpful for a lot of people.
This is indeed a must watch episode for everyone!
Archana, more power to you girl! You’re undoubtedly passing on a loot of lessons… and Thank You Dhanya, for giving us this & for all what you’re doing. Kudos! Love and respect to you both ❤️❤️
As someone with learning disability, I can completely relate with everything she said. But what's different in my case is that it totally destroyed my confidence and self esteem. Eventhough I've found ways to deal with my disability, the scars still remain even after 12 years and doesn't look like it's going to heal anytime soon. The thought that always comes back to me is if only someone had diagnosed me back then and my life would have been totally different.
Hope archanas words spreads awareness regarding the same
There is no age/ time limit to improving. Dont close doors feeling its gone. Your new day starts from now on. Know that you are capable, smart. Earlier, if there were failures, it was not you, just a disability getting your way because of the way our education/system was setup. I wish and hope its a new beginning now on and your confidence and self esteem returns and you thrive in life ❤
You understood what happened in past was not your mistake and the people were wrong which is a great achievement. They should be worried about and improve. You excel in whatever you are interesting in and rock🤘
@@iamwithdhanyavarma it was great madam.. Can you bring more such people to the show who can spread good message to our society
What Archana said at last part of show is really true… your interviews is actually kind of therapy.. it is really helping people.. infact it’s helping me !!
One of the best interviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much Dhanya!! 🙏🙏🙏 Big hugs to Archana. And thank you for being so mature. The world needs more people like you. 🤗🤗😘😘
You made me cry Archana!!😰 I could feel pain in my heart when I listened to you! Lots of love girl🥰🥰❤️. And a big hug for your parents for what they are!
My Gosh I never understood why she chose Abish. They were a mismatch. Archaea I feel love for u. U r a good human being. Only good things will come to you. Please wait. Lots of prayers.
Thank you for this conversation,Dhanya.
Archana is an inspiration in many ways.May God bless her abundantly 🙏
Firstly thanks to dhanya chechi for bringing archana kavi to this show.. the way archana sees her life and how beautifully she is enjoying her as how she is remarkable. This is how a human being should be .. we should really appreciate her for telling everything out in public to make ppl aware of different lives. This is called a strong lady .. and u are so lucky that u have got a brilliant school and parents as backbone which many ppl dont get and wat turns their way down .. the position where she is now sitting in an interview as a celebrity shows how successful she is in her life and that makes her successful and it gives alot of ppl more knowledge to know that think before u utter a word to another person coz nobody knows what is happening in the other person's life .. be kind or be quiet.. keep rocking archana ❤️
Not many will reveal all this in public platform ! Kudos to you girl , Archana! You will do well in life ! Archana might be so relieved talking to Dhanya !
That Delhi school really helped, I can't imagine you in a kerala school
How well she opened up👏👏Dhanya👏👏👏u r a good listener and that made her more comfortable..Archana ♥️u r a warrior right from your childood👏👏👏
This interview was like a breath of fresh air.... Kudos to Dhanya for listening to what Archana had to say... Archana hang in there girl... Lots of luv n prayers..
👉I really want Archana to come bak actively to youtube like before. Its good that shes active in serials now. But pls dont leave TH-cam bcoz u were the One of the Best even before many came into YT. So, pls do some webseries & content vlogs👍
Proud of you Archana!.. Thanks a lot Dhanya for being a medium for putting this out into the world.. must watch y'all
When more and more ppl talk about mental illness openly, the so called stigma around this will slowly disappear. More ppl should come forward and share their experiences. Not every mental illness needs to be categorised as psychosis. I had an employee who suffered from bipolar and he was very good in his job during his 'high' phase. There were a few days he was unable to perform his tasks. We accommodated him to certain extent and he spent ~6 months with us. He could not handle the work pressure and he decided to take a break and focus on his health for sometime.
Though bipolar varies from patient to patient, there is proven treatment in Homeo. I know a few patients who are able to manage a decent quality of life with regular medicines, yoga and meditation.
I'm a C-PTSD patient and i can't agree more to what you said ❤️
And what an interviewer.. So sensitive, allowing her to speak, giving that safe space.
Archana if u are reading this comment,I am so touched hearing your story,infact you are a warrior!love u loads !
The interviewer, she is amazing, and she has giving a complete freedom to the host,, simply sitting and listening,,,, Archana she was amazed with her detailing
Great interview...U are a true warrior Archana...way to go😘😘😘.Thank you Dhanya for bringing her..
Hi archana
You are extremely bold to open up...very few celebrities have the courage to share this....hats off to you.
Your movie ,neelathamara was superb. Wishing you all the best for a bright and happy future. God bless. Lots of love 😘
I personally adored Deepika padukone on talking about her depression story. But here Archana speaks about how the depression process in a body and how she pampers herself for a small habitual thing called bath !!! Highly relatable Archana .. you should be around for the right reasons !!!
Dhanya Varma's interviews remind me of Simi Garewal's show.
Recently got a diagnosis from my Doctor for PMDD. I can relate to Archana. Take care, dear❤️🩹❤
A true warrior..a true motivator..lotzz of love to Archanakavi
More power to you Archana for speaking out and being as real as can be. Mental health is a journey, like you rightly said. It isn't always a low and then success all of a sudden. People expect you to snap out of it quickly like it's a phase. It's not! And why I say that? Because I too am a recently divorced woman who went through hell and needed help. Mine is not amicable like yours. It's been 2 years and I still have nightmares that I am back at his place. Whenever my therapist say we can stop sessions, after 2 months I would have to restart because the scar is that deep. It takes time. And I learnt to be very loving and gentle with myself.
Anyone reading this in similar situation - hold onto your family and your close friends. Their role in your recovery is very important.
It's so commendable that the school and family supported her so well. It's a rare thing to hear. Thank you Dhanya Varma for bringing this strong lovable human being to share her journey and supporting her story telling with empathy. It's a beautiful episode as usual 💖
This was such a lovely interview! Adore how Archana spoke of her journey, connected so well. Thank you for bringing her ❤
This is such a raw interview. Archana you definitely are a warrior. As Dhanyechi said takes a lot of courage to talk about it. This was just such a beautiful conversation, Dhanyechi!
I'm so glad that I clicked on this interview and watched it. I, myself feel so happy and this interview changed my whole idea of Archana! Such a gem of a person ❤️
I appreciate the School,teachers ,who helped her to be confident.
I love myself with my madness..this line was beautiful Archana..Thank you dear both for the beautiful conversation..
Someone who speaks about mental health is really relatable to many. Its a heartfull interview
I feel her
Interviews like this are what we needed❤
Archana talks about both her sides with so much grace. To me, this itself is her success. In a world, where we showcase only the glorious side of life, this stands out in its own way. More power to you.
I love myself, with all the madness…. That is my takeaway 😊
@@Tellegramme__OruHappYFamily is this real or fake? 🤨

One of the bestttttt interview ever,,,, conducted soooo greatly.. the exact stage many including me going through by fighting each day to even get up from bed but cant skip always as we have to earn to survive too.. many days we fail in that too n that itself makes us feel only we have this issue as nobody else would be brave enough to open up like this…. All love to Archana n Dhanya chechi ❤❤❤👍👍👍👏👏👏
Oh man.. I can so relate. You are not alone Archana, thankyou for speaking up. Thankyou
I'm watching this interview with a bad mental health, but mind full of exposure. I'm in a place where I think, overthink, cry at places that I shouldn't, and everything ruined. But I'm also at that place where I have a lot of ideas and understanding about myself, and that I have that inner energy towards doing it.
This interview was worth it. I'd come back whenever I'm not okay and watch this. I'd comeback and watch this whenever I need that little push.
Love you Archana and so thankful to Dhanya ❤️
Am teary eyed. I can relate to everything she told. Hats off to Dhanya chechi for making her so comfortable
I love myself with all my madness " Love that words respect u
I literally cried when she tells about her childhood.. 🥺🥺
i can say that her insight into her own struggles are the real solution to overcome her difficult situation.The conversation is worth watching,some thing so different from our recent cliche interviews.hats off you archana and dhanya.
Courageous Girl ! A Big salute ...
Archana, couple times watched you say “I’m not perfect, it’s not a cool thing” etc. etc. After watching this interview, I feel like you’re the coolest person I’ve ever heard. I’ve huge admiration and respect to you. A loved one of mine has pmdd and I know what she goes through. And to openly talk about mental health and discuss issues like dyslexia, hats off; you are such a wonderful person. Much love❤
And Dhanya, you deserve so much appreciation for an interview like this. Other media personnel has a lot to learn from you. You’re amazing❤
I am so proud of you Archana! Having dyslexia itself is difficult.. in spite of not getting specific reading support and surviving that entire school journey with your parents and teacher supports is amazing.. at the end you accept, learn and cherish every aspect and experiences in your life.. and that you are unapologetic about yourself is something the the millennials need to imbibe from you! Kudos to you! More power to you girl! 🎉😊
My God Dhanya u will b blessed. Cos this interview is... I'm tearing up. Thankyou Archana thankyou.. God bless. And thankyou for being who u r today. It takes a lot of willpower to be at where u r. Thanks for sharing and pls know u r not alone..
This made me tear up. Love the honesty of Archana and the compassion the interviewer shows. Hats off to Archana's family, school and friends who were so supportive! Everyone needs someone who willingly listens to them without any judgment and provide a shoulder to lean on during struggles. One can open up only if there are people who listen to them.
Sometimes it is good to remain single. If the partner is not supportive, it can adversely affect one's mental health.
Hormones and such make women's life more complicated while men for men, it is more neurodevelopmental issues (mild autism and such). I hope everyone human being develops empathy and understanding, so people around them can lean on them in times of struggle.
I don't know that how much i love archana. She gave me motivation for my anxiety and yes i am saved❤️😍😘😘😘😘😘😘
Oh Dhanya Ma'am this is such a pure bliss. Thankyou for making it happen. And I must say Archana is just a beauty inside out. Much love to both of you.!!!
This is such a deep conversation!!! More power to you girl ❤️
