Here is the truth

🚨 Using cannabis to ease anxiety or cope with trauma? A major study just found it actually worsens paranoia and depression.

New research from King’s College London warns that self-medicating with cannabis to manage anxiety, depression, or physical pain may actually increase the risk of long-term mental health issues—including paranoia and heavier use. Drawing on data from the Cannabis & Me survey, the largest of its kind, two studies show that people who begin using cannabis for relief from emotional or physical distress tend to consume significantly more THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, and report much higher levels of paranoia. In contrast, those who started using cannabis recreationally or socially reported lower levels of anxiety and paranoia, suggesting that motives for initial use play a crucial role in later mental health outcomes.

The link between childhood trauma and cannabis-related mental health risks adds further concern. More than half of the survey’s 3,389 participants reported childhood trauma, and those with histories of emotional or physical abuse showed higher levels of THC consumption and paranoia. The research shows that trauma-related use not only increases cannabis dependency but may also intensify its psychological side effects. The findings have significant implications for mental health treatment and cannabis policy, particularly in regions moving toward legalization. Experts emphasize the need for better public education and mental health screening, especially for vulnerable groups using cannabis as a coping mechanism.

🧠💡 Psychology Reimagined: Precision, Integration & Impactful Healing
At Mindcare Neuro Psychiatry Research Centre, we’ve taken a bold step in redefining how psychological services are delivered by organizing the Department of Psychology into three highly specialized and interdependent verticals. Why? Because no two minds are alike—and precision matters in mental healthcare.
🔷 1. Department of Diagnostic Psychology
In the absence of accurate diagnosis, even the best therapy may miss the mark. This unit serves as the bedrock of precision psychiatry, offering comprehensive psychological assessments rooted in validated tools and real-world clinical insight.
We conduct:
• IQ and Cognitive Function Testing
• Personality Profiling (e.g., MMPI-2, 16PF)
• Projective Tests (e.g., TAT, CAT, Rorschach)
• Neuropsychological Batteries for dementia, ADHD, TBI
• Emotional and Behavioral Inventories for children and adults
Our expert team of psychologists collaborates directly with psychiatrists to decode complex cases like treatment-resistant depression, suspected psychosis, ADHD, or unexplained school failure—delivering clarity that shapes treatment with surgical precision.
🔷 2. Department of Therapeutic Psychology
Once diagnosis is in place, the healing begins. This unit provides 360° psychological care customized for each patient’s background, readiness, and need.
Our diverse repertoire includes:
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression, OCD
• Behavior Therapy for child and adolescent behavioral issues
• Supportive Psychotherapy to build resilience and recovery
• Mindfulness-Based Therapy to regulate emotions and stress
• Grief Counselling and Trauma-Focused Therapy (including EMDR principles)
• Couple and Family Therapy for relationship distress and communication issues
• Motivational Enhancement Therapy in addiction care
• Social Skills and Assertiveness Training
• Play Therapy & Expressive Therapies for children
This department ensures that every patient gets the right therapeutic modality at the right time, with therapists adapting their approach over the course of recovery. Therapy at Mindcare is not just supportive—it's structured, monitored, and goal-directed.
🔷 3. Department of Psychophysiology
This cutting-edge unit bridges psychology with biology, using tools like biofeedback, neuro-sensing, HRV analysis, and EEG-based neurofeedback to restore mind-body equilibrium. It’s where stress physiology meets mental training.
🌿 Why Diversify the Department of Psychology?
Because mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all. A child struggling with poor attention, a student facing performance anxiety, a mother experiencing postpartum blues, a senior dealing with forgetfulness, or a professional hit by burnout—all require distinct frameworks of evaluation and intervention.
By specializing, we:
✅ Ensure accurate diagnosis
✅ Personalize therapy
✅ Promote functional recovery
✅ Integrate mind and body healing
✨ Our True Beneficiaries?
• Children reclaiming focus, learning, and laughter
• Adolescents breaking free from social anxiety
• Women finding their emotional rhythm again
• Addicts rediscovering motivation and dignity
• Elderly regaining their memory and self-worth

🔬🧠 Introducing Mindcare’s Department of Neuromodulation
Where Brain Science Meets Healing Innovation
At Mindcare Neuro Psychiatry Research Centre, we understand that traditional psychiatric approaches don't always yield the desired results—especially in complex, treatment-resistant cases. That’s why we’ve created a dedicated Department of Neuromodulation, offering non-invasive, evidence-based interventions that directly act on the brain’s electrical and neurochemical systems.
Here’s how we are transforming care through science:
🌿 1. Biofeedback Therapy
Learn to control what once seemed automatic—like heart rate, breathing, muscle tension, and brain waves. Using advanced sensors and real-time visual feedback, our patients are trained to regain autonomic balance, making it an effective tool for:
✅ Anxiety disorders
✅ Migraine and chronic pain
✅ ADHD
✅ Stress-related insomnia
🧠 2. Virtual Reality (VR) Therapy
Immersive VR scenarios are used to retrain the brain through simulated exposure and guided relaxation. From phobia management to PTSD recovery, VR therapy provides a safe, controlled space for deep psychological processing and cognitive restructuring.
🌀 3. rTMS – Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
A cutting-edge, FDA-approved therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. It is non-invasive, painless, and highly effective for:
✅ Treatment-resistant depression
✅ OCD
✅ Anxiety spectrum disorders
✅ Negative symptoms in schizophrenia
rTMS helps rewire dysfunctional neural circuits without medication side effects.
⚡ 4. tDCS – Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation
By delivering low-intensity electrical currents, tDCS enhances or inhibits brain activity in targeted regions. Proven benefits include:
✅ Improved cognition and focus
✅ Alleviation of depressive symptoms
✅ Cognitive rehabilitation post-stroke or head injury
✅ Augmenting learning in neurodevelopmental disorders
It’s simple, cost-effective, and can be done in outpatient settings.
🎵 5. Evidence-Based Music Therapy
Science has proven that structured musical interventions can stimulate emotional centers, enhance cognitive recovery, and soothe dysregulated nervous systems. At Mindcare:
🎶 Indian Raagas are prescribed like medicines
🎶 Therapy is co-designed by psychiatrists, psychologists & music therapists
🎶 Delivered alongside other treatments for a 360° therapeutic experience
From depression to dementia, music becomes medicine.
🧭 Why Neuromodulation?
Because mental illness isn’t just chemical—it's also electrical, emotional, and experiential. Neuromodulation offers new hope to patients who have not responded to medication or therapy alone. It also helps reduce medication load, accelerates recovery, and integrates seamlessly with psychological and pharmacological care.
📍 From adolescents with learning difficulties to elders with degenerative brain conditions, we are already seeing transformational outcomes in real patients who once felt stuck.

🧠✨ Mild Brain Stimulation Boosts Math Skills in Struggling Students

What if a gentle zap to the brain could help you solve math problems better?

In a fascinating new study, researchers used a technique called transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) on university students as they tackled math tasks. This non-invasive method involves placing an electrode cap on the scalp and delivering weak, random electrical signals to specific brain regions — particularly those involved in problem-solving and memory.

The results? Students with weaker brain connectivity between these regions improved their math performance by up to 29%. Some even outperformed peers who initially had stronger brain wiring. The electrical stimulation appears to make neurons more responsive and helps balance the brain chemicals that regulate activity.

However, students who already had strong neural connections didn’t see much change — suggesting tRNS may be especially helpful for those who struggle with learning math.

⚠️ Important caveat: This isn't a DIY fix. Experts caution against trying this at home. Ethical concerns also loom large — like whether only wealthier students could access such tools in the future.

Fortunately, there are plenty of science-backed, non-electrical ways to improve math skills:
🔹 Practicing regularly
🔹 Breaking problems into smaller steps
🔹 Using visuals and apps
🔹 Strengthening number sense
🔹 Embracing a growth mindset

This research shines a light on how neuroscience could someday support personalized learning — but also raises big questions about access and fairness.

🧠💥 Understanding Stress: It's More Than Just Feeling Overwhelmed!
Stress isn't just "in your head"—it's a complex interplay of the mind, body, and clinical health.
🔸 Psychological Stress: The anxiety we feel when life’s demands outpace our coping ability.
📌 Example: Feeling tense before a crucial exam or deadline.
🔸 Biological Stress: Your body’s automatic “fight or flight” reaction—triggering the release of cortisol, adrenaline, and other hormones.
🔸 Clinical Stress: When stress becomes chronic, it can worsen mental health (like depression, PTSD) and physical illnesses (like heart disease and diabetes).
At Mindcare, we take a holistic approach to stress management—blending psychological support, biological monitoring, and clinical care to help you regain control.
✅ Let’s talk stress. Let’s heal stress.
