In spite of having a tight schedule for the year, she has been presently working for such a cause in the last three months.

Ms. Deepika has hired a team of psychiatrists and doctors, who will be working for the cause and on improving the present condition related to mental health in India, through out 2015. The panel of experts will work closely with the actress and will focus on common problems such as panic attacks, anxiety, and depression.
