🧠🌿 World Alzheimer’s Day 2025 🌿🧠

Today, on World Alzheimer’s Day, we come together to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease and dementia—conditions that affect not only memory but also identity, relationships, and quality of life.

🔹 Alzheimer’s is not just “forgetfulness”; it is a progressive brain disorder that impacts thinking, behavior, and daily functioning.
🔹 Early detection, timely intervention, and family support can make a huge difference.
🔹 Reducing stigma and spreading awareness are the first steps towards compassionate care.

Let us pledge to:
✔️ Support caregivers with empathy and resources
✔️ Encourage brain-healthy lifestyles
✔️ Promote early screening and medical consultation
✔️ Break the silence around dementia

💜 Remember: Every person with Alzheimer’s deserves dignity, understanding, and love.

🔹 Connection Between Water Intake & Mental Health:

1. Dehydration and Mood

Even mild dehydration (1–2% body water loss) can cause irritability, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
Studies show dehydration is linked with increased tension, anxiety, and mood disturbances.

2. Stress Response

Dehydration raises cortisol (the stress hormone).
Adequate hydration helps regulate the body’s HPA axis (hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal), which is central in stress response.

3. Cognitive Function

Brain is ~75% water. Low water intake reduces alertness, short-term memory, and decision-making ability.
Hydration improves mental clarity and resilience during stressful situations.

4. Sleep & Relaxation

Poor hydration can contribute to sleep disruption, making it harder to recover from daily stress.
Proper water intake promotes better sleep and emotional stability.

🔹 Practical Tips:

Aim for 2.5–3 liters/day (men) and 2–2.5 liters/day (women), adjusting for climate & activity.

Spread intake across the day instead of drinking large amounts at once.

Include hydrating foods (fruits, vegetables, soups).

Limit excessive caffeine/alcohol, as they worsen dehydration and stress.

Stress and heart attack risk:

Both acute emotional surges (like anger) and chronic psychosocial stress meaningfully contribute to the risk of myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease. Stress not only acts as a long-term risk factor but can also serve as an acute trigger for cardiac events. Individuals with existing CHD are especially vulnerable, with perceived stress strongly predicting near-term adverse outcomes. Trauma-related stress disorders such as PTSD further amplify cardiovascular risk. Recognizing and managing stress should therefore be an integral part of both prevention and treatment strategies in cardiovascular care.

तनाव तथा हार्ट अटैक:

तीव्र भावनात्मक उत्तेजनाएँ (जैसे क्रोध) और दीर्घकालिक मनो-सामाजिक तनाव, मायोकार्डियल इंफार्क्शन (दिल का दौरा) और कोरोनरी हृदय रोग के जोखिम को महत्वपूर्ण रूप से बढ़ाते हैं। तनाव न केवल दीर्घकालिक जोखिम कारक के रूप में कार्य करता है, बल्कि यह हृदय संबंधी घटनाओं का तात्कालिक ट्रिगर भी हो सकता है। जिन व्यक्तियों को पहले से ही कोरोनरी हृदय रोग है, वे विशेष रूप से संवेदनशील होते हैं, और उनके लिए अनुभव किया गया तनाव निकट भविष्य में प्रतिकूल परिणामों की भविष्यवाणी करता है। आघात-संबंधी तनाव विकार (जैसे PTSD) हृदय संबंधी जोखिम को और अधिक बढ़ा देते हैं। इसलिए, तनाव की पहचान और उसका प्रबंधन, हृदय रोगों की रोकथाम और उपचार दोनों की रणनीतियों का अभिन्न हिस्सा होना चाहिए।

Mobile screen, TV and risk of dementia

1. Sedentary lifestyle:
• Long hours of sitting with screens (TV, mobile, computer) reduce physical activity, which is a known risk factor for dementia.

2. Reduced cognitive stimulation:
• Passive screen use (e.g., binge-watching) doesn’t engage the brain as much as active learning, social interaction, or mentally challenging tasks. Less stimulation may accelerate cognitive decline.

3. Sleep disruption:
• Blue light from screens interferes with melatonin, leading to poor sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation is strongly associated with memory impairment and dementia risk.

4. Mental health effects:
• Excessive screen use is linked with depression, anxiety, and social withdrawal—conditions that indirectly worsen brain health.

5. Recent studies:
• A 2022 study in JAMA Psychiatry found that more leisure TV watching was associated with higher dementia risk, while computer use for active tasks was linked to lower risk.

⸻

🔹 Healthy screen habits for brain protection

✅ Limit passive screen time (especially TV).
✅ Replace some screen time with physical activity.
✅ Engage in active screen use (learning, puzzles, brain-training apps).
✅ Prioritize good sleep hygiene (no screens 1–2 hours before bed).
✅ Maintain social connections offline

🧠 Psychological Advice for a Healthy Relationship

1. Communicate openly and honestly
• Share thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
• Practice active listening (listen to understand, not just to reply).

2. Respect individuality
• A strong couple is made of two whole individuals, not one dependent person and one caretaker.
• Encourage each other’s personal growth, hobbies, and friendships.

3. Practice emotional validation
• Instead of saying “don’t feel that way,” say “I understand why you feel this.”
• Validating doesn’t mean agreeing, it means acknowledging the other’s experience.

4. Handle conflicts constructively
• Focus on the issue, not on attacking the person.
• Use “I feel…” instead of “You always/never…”.
• Take breaks if arguments get too heated.

5. Express appreciation and affection daily
• Small gestures (compliments, gratitude, hugs, kind words) strengthen the emotional bond.
• Couples who regularly show appreciation have higher satisfaction.

6. Balance togetherness and space
• Spend quality time together (rituals like walks, meals, or movie nights).
• Also respect each other’s need for personal space.

7. Build trust intentionally
• Keep promises, be reliable, and transparent.
• Trust is not only about fidelity, but also about emotional safety.

8. Practice forgiveness and letting go
• Holding grudges poisons intimacy.
• Learn to apologize sincerely and forgive genuinely.

9. Prioritize intimacy (emotional & physical)
• Healthy intimacy includes affection, touch, and meaningful conversations.
• It evolves with time, so flexibility is key.

10. Grow together, not apart
• Share goals, dreams, and values.
• Celebrate achievements together, and support each other through setbacks.

✨ Golden Rule: A healthy relationship isn’t about never fighting; it’s about fighting fair, loving consistently, and choosing each other every day.

✨ Grateful to share my thoughts at ICFAI University, Jaipur ✨

Today, I had the opportunity to deliver a lecture on Stress Management and Su***de Prevention to the bright students and faculty.

We discussed:
🔹 How stress impacts mental health and daily life
🔹 Practical strategies to manage stress effectively
🔹 The importance of early recognition and reaching out for support
🔹 Breaking the stigma around mental health and preventing su***de

It was inspiring to see such openness and engagement from young minds. Conversations like these remind us that mental health matters as much as physical health—and awareness is the first step toward change.

Together, we can build a culture where seeking help is seen as strength, not weakness. 🌱

In our society, many people still believe that their struggles, illnesses, or failures are caused by black magic or supernatural powers.
But the truth is — there is no scientific evidence that black magic exists.

👉 Often, what we call “black magic” is actually:
• Mental health issues like depression, anxiety, psychosis, or addiction.
• Medical conditions such as epilepsy, migraines, or hormonal imbalances.
• Life challenges like stress, financial troubles, or relationship conflicts.

⚠️ Believing in black magic delays proper treatment and support. Many people waste money, time, and energy on rituals instead of seeking medical and psychological help.

✅ What really helps?
• Consulting a doctor or mental health professional.
• Seeking counseling and therapy.
• Building a support system of family and friends.
• Adopting healthy lifestyle habits — sleep, exercise, nutrition.

✨ Remember: Problems have real solutions, not magical ones.
Science, medicine, and care heal — superstition harms.

Let’s break the myths. Let’s talk about mental health. 💙

“Mental health is not something to hide — it’s something to talk about.”
– Honey Singh

In a world where we share our successes openly, why should our struggles be kept in the dark?
Talking about your mental health is not a sign of weakness — it’s a step toward healing.

Just like we seek help for a fever or an injury, we must speak up when our mind feels heavy.
Silence can deepen the pain, but conversation can start the cure.

🧠 Break the stigma. Speak your mind.

💬 Share, listen, and support — because mental health matters for everyone

“मानसिक स्वास्थ्य को छिपाना नहीं है — इसके बारे में बात करनी है।”
– हनी सिंह

हम अपनी सफलताएँ सबके साथ बाँटते हैं, तो अपनी मुश्किलें क्यों छुपाएँ?
मानसिक स्वास्थ्य के बारे में बात करना कमजोरी नहीं — बल्कि इलाज की शुरुआत है।

जैसे बुखार या चोट लगने पर हम डॉक्टर के पास जाते हैं, वैसे ही मन भारी लगे तो मदद माँगना ज़रूरी है।
चुप्पी दर्द को बढ़ा सकती है, लेकिन बातचीत इलाज का रास्ता खोल सकती है।
🧠 कलंक तोड़िए। मन की बात कहिए।

💬 सुनिए, बोलिए और साथ दीजिए — क्योंकि मानसिक स्वास्थ्य हम सबके लिए ज़रूरी है।
