Don’t give in to stigma.
Don’t let your struggle become your identity..

Have you felt..

A dramatic sleep and appetite change or decline in personal care?
Rapid or dramatic shifts in emotions or depressed feelings?
Recent social withdrawal and loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed
An unusual drop in functioning, at school, work or social activities, such as quitting activities, failing in school or difficulty performing familiar tasks?
Problems with concentration, memory or logical thought and speech that are hard to explain
Sense of Depression, Anxiety, or out of balance?
Heightened sensitivity to sights, sounds, smells or touch; avoidance of over-stimulating situations?
Loss of initiative or desire to participate in any activity?
A vague feeling of being disconnected from oneself or one’s surroundings; a sense of unreality?
Unusual or exaggerated beliefs about personal powers to understand meanings or influence events; illogical or “magical” thinking typical of childhood in an adult?
Fear or suspiciousness of others or a strong nervous feeling?
Odd, uncharacteristic, peculiar behavior?

50% percent of mental illness begins by age 14, and three-quarters begins by age 24.

Major mental illnesses rarely appear “out of the blue.” Most often family, friends, teachers or individuals themselves begin to recognize small changes or a feeling that “something is not quite right” about their thinking, feelings or behavior before a illness appears in its full-blown form.

Addiction and Mental Health are treatable conditions. Recovering from co-occurring disorders takes time, commitment, and courage, but people with substance abuse and mental health problems can and do get better.

Dealing with a loved one’s mental illness and substance abuse can be painful and isolating. Make sure you’re getting the emotional support you need to cope.

The MindSmith

The human brain is the most complex object in the known universe. All the amenities and luxuries of this modern life which we enjoy today are a product of this immensely powerful and creative organ. For an organ weighing just 2% of the body weight, it surely has the maximum impact on the quality of life a person will have.

Unfortunately sometimes, and just like it can happen to any organ system, the human brain suffers from disease and infirmity, which can cause a lot of anguish and dysfunction to the person and strain and test their relationships with loved ones.

I like to think of myself as a Psychiatrist with a difference. I attempt to combine my knowledge and training of the science of healing the brain with the art and empathy needed to develop a healthy mind.

Myths & Misconceptions about Mental Health

Myths, assumptions, lack of information, and misconceptions are the biggest contributors to the stigmas.

Everyone who goes for therapy must be on medication

Sure there are people who go for therapy and use medication, but not everybody. The number of people who need medication is quite low. Only those with specific mental health problems are prescribed medicine after a thorough evaluation by a professional.

I am mad if I go to a psychiatrist or a psychologist

This should be a no-brainer – if you’re aware of your condition, if you’re speaking with someone and if you’re taking medication to ensure good mental health, you are sensible! It means you are able to understand yourself better and know what your body and mind need to help you be a functional member of society.

All criminals are mentally ill, and by extension, all mentally ill people are criminals

Trust me, it isn’t how the brain works. There’s a massive difference between having a sick mentality and struggling with a mental illness. Plus, there are varying degrees of mental illnesses that differ in types, intensity and external reactions. Therefore, people with mental health conditions are not criminals.

It’s a phase or it’s done for attention

Perhaps the most common misconception, this one is a bit tricky, while there are individuals that may use this as an excuse to gain sympathy or attention, most people suffering from these diseases are different. Offering professional support to someone can really go a long way. Additionally, just like any physical illness isn’t a phase, mental illness is also due to a specific reason and not just a mood.

People with mental illness can’t work or function normally

With the right guidance, family care and support, people with a mental illness can function to their optimal strength.

Mental health issues are permanent

Most people think this way, hence keep a distance after learning about a person’s mental health issues. However, this is not true. With therapy, medication and even lifestyle changes, these issues can be reversed or managed.

Wrong upbringing or bad family relationships cause mental health issues

This may be partially true that childhood trauma or abuse can affect mental health. However, it is not the only reason. There are multiple reasons from genetics to financial history and even a physical ailment.

Discussions about your mental health issue are a very personal thing and are protected by Doctor-Patient Confidentiality clauses. Anything you talk about with your doctor or healthcare professional is private and confidential.
