Are You Depressed? Talk To These Chatbots

Depression is gradually becoming a very common mental illness that can become dangerous, if left untreated. The only challenge in treating cases of depression, which is increasing in each and every country, is that people are still afraid to talk about it openly. In March this year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his'Mann Ki Baat' speech advised people to come out and speak about their battle with depression. "I want to tell my countrymen that depression is not incurable. There is a need to create a psychologically conducive environment to begin with. The first mantra is the expression of depression instead of its suppression," he said.
