India is ageing fast. Our mental health systems must keep pace.

The start of a DM in Geriatric Mental Health at IHBAS (now the third institute in the country to offer this) signals an important shift from intent to capacity.

Focused capacity-building in dementia, late-life depression and related conditions will be essential for future public health systems, reports

Always have your breakfast in the morning, your brain doesn’t accept negligence.

सुबह का नाश्ता जरूर करें, लापरवाही दिमाग को नहीं मंजूर।

As a psychiatrist, I tell my patients this almost every day: Don’t skip breakfast if your mood is low, anxiety is up or you’re stressed.

A meta-analysis of nearly 400,000 people found skipping it linked to:
• 39% higher depression
• 55% higher distress
• 23% higher stress
• 51% higher anxiety in teens

Plus: eating most calories earlier in the day (not heavy dinners) gives more weight loss & better blood sugar & cholesterol.

Your brain runs on morning fuel. Team Breakfast? Drop a below and tell me if it changes how you feel!

World Bipolar Day 2026:
30 March, just a few days away.

On this day in 1853, Vincent van Gogh was born. A man who saw the world differently… and painted it that way (The Starry Night 1889 painting gif attached).
He also struggled deeply with his mental health.

In all these years of practice, I have rarely seen someone truly miserable because they didn’t have enough money. I have seen far more people struggling because their mind would not give them a moment of peace. The reason I found they had no one they could really talk to.

गर्मी में ऐसे मिल सकती है, अच्छी नींद
How to Get Good Sleep During the Summer?

Hot nights can steal your sleep. A simple summer sleep rule: keep the room cool, limit screens before bed, stay hydrated and maintain a fixed sleep time. Good sleep is not a luxury, it is essential for mental health.

गर्मी में अच्छी नींद का मंत्र: कमरा ठंडा रखें, सोने से पहले मोबाइल कम देखें, पानी पर्याप्त पिएँ और सोने-जागने का समय तय रखें। अच्छी नींद मानसिक सेहत की आधारशिला है।

Sleep problems in older adults are far more common than we talk about.

In clinics, I often meet elderly patients who say, “Doctor saab, age ho gayi hai… ab neend kahan aati hai.” Many families assume disturbed sleep is simply part of ageing. This is not always true, medically.

Poor sleep in the elderly deserves careful attention.
