We understand that "log kya kahenge" (what will people say) is a real concern!

हाँ, बिल्कुल okay है! (Yes, absolutely okay!)

Feel free to mix languages naturally - many Indians do this in daily conversation! Our AI understands:

• Hinglish - Hindi-English mixed conversations
• Code-switching - Switching between languages mid-sentence
• Cultural expressions - "Yaar", "Arre", "Bas" and other Indian expressions
• Regional variations - Different ways of expressing emotions

Speak however feels most natural to you - hum samjh jaayenge! (we'll understand!)

Our AI provides evidence-based emotional support and coping strategies, but remember:

• We offer guidance, not diagnosis - We can't diagnose mental health conditions
• Personalized but not professional - Tailored support, but not therapy
• Continuously improving - Learning from thousands of conversations
• Culturally aware - Understanding Indian emotional patterns

For serious mental health concerns, we'll always recommend consulting with qualified mental health professionals.
