    THE INNER BATTLE
    (DEPARTMENT OF MEDIA STUDIES KINNAIRD COLLEGE FOR WOMEN UNIVERSITY LAHORE,, 2023-06-13) URWA NADEEM
    Mental illness is an ignored phenomenon in Pakistan. Psychological issues are increasing day by day yet people do not take it seriously as it is considered as a taboo. It is now a high time to address mental issues because there are many types of mental illness and our society needs awareness about it. One mental condition which is highlighted in the documentary is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a mental problem that might happen in individuals who have encountered or seen a traumatic event. The documentary mainly focuses on the impact of PTSD on journalists who daily cover crime events. Different crime events are a root cause of severe stress among them and these events stay with journalists having PTSD. The documentary also focuses on the importance of support from friends and family and also the importance of psychotherapy. The importance of normalizing medical treatment without having any fear will also be an important factor in a documentary. This project will be worth it for the media channels to analyze the resources and support which need to be given to the journalists so they can easily cope with PTSD and work with full energy without having any stress on their nerves. To know the mental state of the News Reporters after covering the crime stories and to help them deal with the aftermath of covering tragedies is very important. It is crucial to spread knowledge about PTSD because it fosters empathy and compassion and lessens the number of people who suffer in silence.
