It is now that mental health is being regarded as a part of the overall health of a person. Even if a person may look fine on the outside, they might be suffering mentally. People are now speaking up and addressing their mental health issues and seeking therapy and other treatment as well. The month of May has been regarded as Mental Health Awareness month where people share knowledge about mental heath awareness, support those suffering and address lesser-known concerns. In view of the same, actress Ruby Barker, who played the role of Marina Thompson in Bridgerton took to her Instagram to share that that had been hospitalised because her mental health had not been fine.
