Today, 10th October is celebrated as World Mental Health Day.
Each day I get calls for appointments from young people suffering with symptoms of mental illnesses but more than 50% of them have not yet disclosed it to their families or any close person and thus are reluctant to come forward for treatment. At times some of them have even dropped out of treatment because their families did not approve of taking any kind of treatment for the symptoms which are causing a disability significantly to the patients but the family finds it to be “just a bad phase”.
Mental Illness are just like physical illness.
They may not have a definitive pin pointed cause yet but the symptoms respond very well to well researched & practiced methods of treatments like medicines or therapy mostly both together.
Psychiatrist is a medical doctor who treats mental illnesses like depression, OCD, bipolar, psychosis, substance abuse, anxiety disorders, child behaviour disorder etc.
This world mental health day let’s start investing our time, thoughts, talks, plans into our mental health just like we invest money for a secured future. It will definitely pay in the longer run.
