 About Zifcare

Zifcare is India's #1 startup for Self Development.

We believe that each person is capable of working

towards their own growth, happiness and well-being.

Self Development (or self-help) is an important

component of mental health, which enables a person to

be an active participant in their own well-being.

CEO'S NOTE

I came up with the idea for Zifcare inspired by my own

experience with stress and depression. At Zifcare, we

believe that all of us are capable of becoming who we

want to, if we are ready to work hard and train our

mind to be focused. The Zifcare app has been built as

a personal companion for our lifelong journey of self-

development.”

 What is mental health?

Mental health is not just the absence of

mental health diseases but a part of

complete well-being.

"Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and

social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act.

It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to

others, and make choices. Mental health is important at
every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence
through adulthood."

"Health is a state of complete physical, mental

and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity.”

 Why is it important?

We need to become aware of the scale

of the problem.

7.5% of Indians are affected by some form of

mental disorder but there are less than 4,000
experts available in the entire country.

 Issues in the Mental
Health sphere

We at Zifcare have, over the past two years,

conducted numerous interviews in our attempt to
understand the problems within the Indian mental
health scenario. Here are some of the problems
we've discovered:

Lack of awareness of Stigma in asking for

the importance of one's help or seeking
own mental health professional
treatment

Unwilling or unable
to pay for Lack of self-care tools
professional available

 How to look after
your mental health?

1.Talk about your feelings. It can

help you deal better with your
problems.

2. Be physically active. Exercise can

help improve your physical and
mental health.

3. Eat nutritious food. Your brain

needs nutrients to function well.

4. Drink sensibly, if at all. Alcohol can

only relieve your distress temporarily.

5. Keep in touch with people. Staying

connected with others can help you.

 Conclusion

“The best thing you could do is master

the chaos in you. You are not thrown

into the fire, you are the fire.”

-Mama Indigo

In this modern, fast-paced life that we live in, we

worry  about millions of little things but tend to

overlook one that matters most- our happiness and

our peace of mind. Today, let us vow to stop once in

a while to take a look inward, to reflect. Let us strive

to be kinder to ourselves and take care of our mental

health.

Let us aim to live life to the fullest!
