Graduated from Therapy!!: Ira Khan reveals she is no longer in therapy after eight years

Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan shares emotional update about ending therapy after 8 years, discussing medication and mental health progress in remission.

"I GRADUATED FROM THERAPY!! I PASSED! - Ira Khan"

Mumbai, October 20

Aamir Khan's daughter, Ira Khan, who has always been open about her mental health journey, recently shared an emotional update about her therapy experience.

In her latest Instagram post, Ira revealed that she is no longer attending therapy after being in 'psychoanalysis' for eight years. Describing the moment as "graduating" from therapy, she shared that the process has helped her learn and grow in many ways.

Talking about her journey, she wrote that her last therapy session was on October 13 and addressed the common question people ask after such an experience: whether she is "cured" now. Ira explained that she is still taking medication and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

"On October 13, I had my last therapy session. After 3 times a week for 8 years of psychoanalysis... I'm no longer in therapy. So you're cured now? I'm still on medication and I probably will be for the foreseeable future. Not being in therapy anymore means that my therapist and I felt confident that I had learned a bunch of things, started living my life in a more helpful manner (for me), and I'd be able to manage on my own--responsibly taking care of myself and remembering to have fun in life!" read her Instagram post.

Speaking of her mental health, Ira said that she is currently "in remission" from depression and knows when to seek help if needed.

"As far as 'cured' goes... I'm in remission from my depression, and with my medication, I should be able to manage future depressive episodes--and if I can't, I'll ask for help," Ira added.

"This is NOT A THING and not what it's called, but I like saying it-- I GRADUATED FROM THERAPY!! I PASSED!" she concluded.

This is such a positive step forward for mental health awareness in our country. Many people think therapy is forever, but Ira shows it's about learning tools to manage your life better. More power to her! 🙏

I appreciate how she clarifies that she's not "cured" but in remission. This distinction is so important for people to understand mental health conditions. In our society, we often expect complete "cures" which isn't how mental health works.

While I admire her openness, I hope this doesn't make people think 8 years of therapy is the standard. Many people in India can't afford such long-term treatment. We need more affordable mental health options for everyone.

Her journey gives me hope! As someone who started therapy recently, seeing successful outcomes like this is so encouraging. The "graduation" concept is beautiful - it's about empowerment, not just treatment ending.

Mental health discussions are still taboo in many Indian families. Celebrities like Ira using their platform for this cause is helping break barriers. More power to her journey! 🌟
