Memoirs.....Lets talk mental health...

Folks, 

I had mentioned this in my earlier blogs but before I start on this, thought I would touch upon once again....

During my transit time between Diageo and W&M I took some time off and was looking at getting in to something very spiritual...I heard about Pranic healing (divine intervention)....and enrolled myself and completed all the levels in DxB itself....and realised that I can embark on that healing journey.....but W&M and Geoscope journey started and I have to wait till 2014......but I kept practicing Pranic healing and also got some great feedback on whoever I had applied PH on....

Darpan to start with (she gave me a glimpse of Hypno Therapy) and Shaila, my dear sister, pushed me in to it.....and we started our Heal n Hale with Padma and Kavitha and had the divine opportunity of  understanding how the mind plays a huge role in peoples life...and how many clients and how we dealt with them...I always tell the clients that 50% of your issue is over the moment you decided to open up....I have to address the remaining 50% only.....

I had to give this preamble to get you guys in tune with what am going to talk about now...

When it comes to physical health, we dont hesitate to consult a medical Dr, right....you have some issues with your ear or throat or nose, you rush to an ENT....problem with your glands, rush to an endocrinologist.....painful knee....to an Ortho....so on and so forth....but when it comes to mental health, the whole family shy away....the social stigma attached to that, right? This is especially in India and even not so much in Bombay and Delhi but in South especially in TN....the reason being that it would be labelled as 'mad'-'psycho'....

There are many kinds in 'psychotic' diseases and many levels...but if there is someone having any kind of 'mental' illness at home or in your friends circle, first thing is to observe and next is to consult and be open in discussing the same. When it is discussed, you would find solutions from unexpected quarters....many of you would have come across this when you have a physical problem and someone who probably had similar issues would come for your rescue....mental health is also to be discussed. In western world, persons who are suffering from some kind of 'mental' issues, do not hesitate to admit and seek medical help and get out of it too....in our country we need to first create the awareness and do not look down on those who have this issue. Looking down on them would create this stigma....some 20 to 30 ears back anyone wearing specs especially the thick one would get ridiculed but today it has changed....the same with hearing issues....its time that awareness and empathy goes hand in hand on 'mental health'. I had encountered one recently and I was completely taken aback to see the condition that person was in. There was issues with this person earlier too but the person didnt want to go thru any therapy and the spouse didnt bother to coax or counsel or push that person for therapy and that has led to this condition.....there is no point in crying over spilt milk....you need to immediately mop the floor....so when it comes to 'mental health' pl push those who are suffering to seek therapy....and there are many advanced therapies which are available now.....Life is to be lived and not sit at home depressed....

Thought would put this up as a first step to create awareness....pl spread this across....

For living life to the fullest!!!!
