Sushila Chand of Sharda Municipality-2 Dandagaon had a dream of getting a government job. Although she had to get married at the age of 15 while studying in 9th grade, she never stopped dreaming of becoming a government employee. After realizing that it would be difficult to get even a small job at the local level without a recommendation, she joined politics after completing her SLC. However, the job was not finalized.

During that time, she suffered from mental illness. After nearly 5 years of treatment, 35-year-old Sushila is currently active as a mental illness prevention activist. She says that she joined this campaign because she doesn't want others to suffer like she did. 

She is also the president of the mental health self-reliance group district network, and now she has been advocating for the necessary treatment by going to her home for counseling if someone has a mental problem at the local level. Within 6 months of becoming the president of the network, she has succeeded in bringing more than a dozen mental patients in the city to the relevant agencies for counseling and medication. I was only 15 years old when I got married, then I passed Plus2 in 2068 after a great struggle. I never thought that I would end up with a government job,' said Sushila. It was not discovered that he was mentally ill after financial and mental pressure.' 

Sushila, who experienced the bitter experience of being rejected by the society after becoming mentally ill in 2071, added, 'I left my home in Ranaha in 2073 and went to Kathmandu, but where did I go after that? what happened I don't know anything.' She says that she reached Chitwan and was taken to the doctor by the police. After 15 days of treatment, he could barely remember anything and was able to contact his relatives. "After 5 years of regular medication, I was cured," she said, "After suffering from mental illness, I had to face various problems. He had to be ostracized by society. Had to leave home and be displaced. I am selflessly engaged in spreading awareness so that no one with mental problems can suffer like me in the future.' 

Sushila's campaign is currently being financially and technically supported by an NGO called CMC Nepal. She said that she is happy to help the mentally ill. Due to illiteracy, rural women do not know about health awareness. How many are mentally ill due to financial, family and external stress. They don't know that they are in trouble, nor do they get timely treatment," she said, adding that the number of suicides is increasing, adding, "Those who commit suicide are from children to the elderly. My first effort is to prevent the mentally ill from committing suicide by giving proper counseling.'
