2:24
Diamond from the crew Work and you're listening to Basic Black After Dark podcast,
2:30
the show that meets you where you are and gives you what you ask for.
2:34
Now. You may not be able to diagnose someone who is doing one
2:38
hundred who isn't doing one hundred percent, but with a little insight into this
2:42
state of mind, you can play a valuable role in supporting them to get
2:46
the state of mind that they need to be in and to get them the
2:49
help that they need. My guest today is doing big things in a mental
2:53
health field. She's a human resource consultant, psychologist and global mental health like.
3:01
She is coming from India. Please welcome my guest to treat Vita.
3:17
We have a little difficulty in connecting your Vita. As I mentioned, she's
3:23
doing some big things here in the mental health field. She's got a great
3:29
following. You'll be able to connect with her if you have any questions,
3:32
you'll be able to contact her, to be able to talk to her about
3:38
mental health, or maybe somebody you know that that's working with somebody that's dealing
3:45
with mental health or someone that's living with mental health. So I'm hoping that
3:49
we can get her up really soon. But we're going to be again divulging
3:54
in the global aspect of mental health and her take on this aspect and how
4:00
it differs with some people saying that it's mental health and some people calling it
4:08
depression. So I'm hoping Ben that we can get Shrevita here to be able
4:15
to talk to us about something that's just been going on and some people who
4:18
actually ignore the signs of mental health. There are some people who are quiet
4:26
about it and they just don't know how to deal with it and don't know
4:29
how to ask for help. So we're going to be talking about different ways
4:32
people could reach out to people, how you can tell the signs of someone
4:38
who's dealing with mental health. So again we're hoping that Stravida could could join
4:44
us. I believe that she has a wealth of knowledge to bring to this,
4:49
to the forefront of this mental illness. I want to talk to some
4:56
people. Well, great, here's Trevena. Now as we apologize, she's
5:09
coming from India, so there may be a problem with the connection for us.
5:13
So hopefully that we can just get ahead. I'm great. Can you
5:20
hear me? Okay, yeah, I can hear you. Wow, great,
5:25
Thank you again, Thank you for joining us. I was telling everybody
5:28
out global mental health. Can you tell us a little bit about global mental
5:36
health? Yes, to talk about basically about the global mental health. So
5:43
mental health is something which is very important. It is just a mental health.
5:46
You know, how you're able to manage your stress, how you're able
5:53
to manage your day to day dealnks, how are you leading your life?
5:57
So it's that we don't leave our emotions set of offer. It's or a
6:01
university or a college. So it's that we need to carry our emotions.
6:05
We need to carry our baggages and just live the life. So it is
6:10
all about how positively we are able to balance ourselves here, like positively in
6:15
the sense like there are ups and downs, there are you know, problems,
6:18
there are good times. It's all about like how we are able to
6:24
balance and come up with a solution. So nothing is impossible in this world.
6:28
Everything is possible. It is that how we are able to balance.
6:31
It's all about you know, handling our feelings, thoughts, emotions and going
6:40
ahead. Is mental health a syndrome of symptoms of an individual subjective well being?
6:46
Or is it a syndrome of symptoms or positive feelings and positive functioning?
6:51
Yeah? So mental health is subject to positive well being. So when it
6:58
comes to mental health, it is that, how is our relationship with others?
7:04
How is my relationship with my new clears? Here? Nucleus is the
7:10
means. It is a family, so it buck lets down to the circle
7:16
around us. So it is all about it's not bad. The mental health
7:21
being not okay is okay. So it is to what extent it is not
7:27
okay? Or to what extent you're able to balance? Or how is that
7:31
I'm able to handle the situation? How is that I'm able to handle my
7:36
own conflict? For example, I have a conflict with my own self,
7:41
So how is that I'm able to counter it? Or else? Maybe I
7:46
have an issue with colleague, So am I able to express it? Or
7:49
am I keeping to myself? Okay? It's it's just you know, sitting
7:54
across the table and discussing and you know, waiting out the feelings and coming
7:58
out of it, how is meant to help treated? And what is the
8:03
biggest mental health challenge? So what is the biggest challenge in the sense how
8:11
are we able to handle uss? So here I want to explain you in
8:16
depth. See, every human being comes with a baggage. They have easied
8:22
memories and desired past okay, owned okay, they have good memories, bad
8:28
memories. With all these things, the moment we are awake in the morning,
8:33
we have a lot of cage because we have something which we have to
8:37
achieve that day or something which had happened yesterday that we did not like.
8:41
So with all these things, we cannot you know, maintain the same balance.
8:46
Like you know, there is mixed and match of feelings and emotions.
8:50
So if first of all it is like very important acknowledge the feelings. There
8:56
are different kinds of feelings maybe you know, any number of feelings. For
9:00
example, if I am you know, if I'm have that means I'm pleasant.
9:05
You know, I'm curious to learn and you know I'm able to extend
9:09
help to others. So I'm feeling, uh you know, wholl create all
9:13
that positive emotions? So based on feelings, you have the emotions, okay,
9:20
so it is very important, like somebody should acknowledge what they're feeling.
9:24
Based on that, then it boss to their emotions. There are positive emotions,
9:30
there are magaity emotions. So once I'm able to differentiate the difference between
9:35
thoughts, feelings, emotions, behavior, it is it is easy to understand.
9:41
How is that? For example, as I've totally if I'm very happy
9:45
on some particular day, it is that my emotions are very possible. Based
9:50
on that, my behavior with everybody will be very cool and great, like
9:54
I'm able to accept the situations. I'm able to you know, gel along
9:58
with people. So you see the connections. Like how it is you know,
10:03
after the if your thoughts are good, your activities are good, like
10:07
you will be very pleasant, you are able to achieve or accomplish the task
10:11
for the day. For example, maybe like I'm in a withdrawal mode.
10:16
There are different types of modes. Maybe one mood swings that I'm in a
10:22
withdrawal mode. If I'm withdraw well, I'm not ready to accept anything from
10:26
the outside world. Maybe sometimes I'm very rich it I don't want to talk
10:31
to others, So what happens is we are not ready to talk to others,
10:37
you know, we are not able to have that self expression. Maybe
10:41
I'm not ready to open up with others. So what happens is as these
10:46
all are interlink, it is required that we should be present to the present
10:54
situation or the scenario so that we have a deep introspection of ourselves. Something
11:00
which is very difficult in this world is to understand about ourselves well. The
11:03
question that I have is how could you tell if a person is unwell or
11:09
have severe mental health? I didn't know. I've heard people say severe mental
11:15
health? Is there common mental health or mental illness? And is there severe
11:20
mental illness? Okay? See, how can you tell if somebody is mentally
11:28
unwill? So there are two wellness. One is physically fit and mentally fit.
11:33
Physically fit, you know, we have some support system. We have
11:37
doctors, we have medical fraternity who will help us. Same both with the
11:43
mental health also, but how can you diagnose it? Is that if you're
11:46
feeling low continuously, you're not able to come out of your stress. Maybe
11:52
you're not able to handle your day to day activities. Maybe your two years
11:56
you're anxious, your stressed out so is okay not to be okay, but
12:01
I just tell many of my friends, all my colleagues, family members,
12:07
if you're not feeling okay, it is completely and perfectly all right. It
12:11
is that understand what is happening inside you. Okay, take a moment.
12:16
Maybe for example, I can tell you with an example, maybe I reashed
12:22
from the university and just came home. Hope, like you know, I
12:24
am a bit stressed out. But let me just relax, understand analyze that.
12:31
Okay, I'm going through some particular feeling. I'm going through some particular
12:35
emotion. So first of all, it is required what is that feeling I
12:41
have, Okay, mishuman to do the root cause analysis. So everything has
12:45
a root cause analysis, not just that we brush everything on the carpet and
12:48
we are not acknowledging it, or maybe we are not addressing the issue.
12:54
So once we do the root cause analysis. Okay, I came late,
13:00
Okay, I can wait for the meeting. That is fine, Okay,
13:03
let me first accept it. What happens is the moment you accept the reality,
13:11
half of the problem is solved because you are ready to address it.
13:16
Acceptance itself means you're ready to address some issue. Once you're ready to address
13:22
this issue, then your thinking patient will start. Then your chance of thinking
13:28
out of the box start once to think out of the box or else maybe
13:33
once you're able to accept it, then comes the ways. Okay, I'm
13:37
not well. It is okay not to be Okay, I can I take
13:41
a help of a mentor can I take a help of a coach? Or
13:46
maybe I can go to a therapist, counselor psychologists. Then you can think.
13:52
See. The thing is, most of us we don't actually know that
13:56
we are mentally or mentally not up to the mark. Yeah, miss,
14:03
we are so busy in our day to day life. We don't know actually
14:07
what is happening to us. We know that we are irritated, but I
14:09
don't know what is the reason. See, I know, I know that
14:13
I came late home today, but I'm irritated. I don't know the reason.
14:16
Am I taking a minute to sit back and see what is that happening
14:20
to me? What is it? Okay, so do a proper diagnosis.
14:26
Okay, did I had a fight with my colleague or I you know,
14:31
I had an issue with my family members? What it is? Okay?
14:37
For example, I had an issue with my one of my colleagues. So
14:39
what is the issue? What is that it is bothering me? Maybe we
14:43
can do you know, fight up you one h there is It's very widely
14:48
used. So what is that it is irritating? You know? Who is
14:54
that is irritating and anybody else who is influencing you? Is there anyway I
15:00
can come out of it? And last is how how can when we do
15:03
this kind of you know analysis, then comes the how? See the problem
15:09
is we always run behind? How how can I come out of an issue?
15:13
How is that I can you know make my life beautiful? How is
15:16
that I can achieve X, Y Z or target? So fine? If
15:20
you run behind? How we will not get the solution? Think of other
15:24
maasonies is that being present, all these things will only happen black when we
15:31
are mentally strong to address ourselves. So the biggest and the biggest computer on
15:37
this earth is over might and we don't know how to handle it because so
15:43
many thoughts question. Yeah, I hear some people saying, you know,
15:50
when at work or when you see individuals, they'll say I'm stressed out and
15:56
they're talking about work. And then you see, oh, here people say,
16:00
and I'm burnt out, and then you discover maybe down a road that
16:03
they've been dealing with maybe some mental help. How could you tell if you're
16:07
colleague, you know it's stressed out, burnt out or dealing with or living
16:14
with onset of mental methodies. Yeah. See, if we are not having
16:22
you know, if we are constantly feeling and in case, if you're constantly
16:27
feeling nervous, maybe we are unable to think of a solution. Okay,
16:33
and maybe sometimes it also depends upon the behavior of black. Uh, it
16:38
actually mental health. You know. The first step to analyze is our behavior?
16:45
Is my behavior passive? Am I assertive? Or I aggressive? Okay?
16:48
This is the first question what we need to ask ourselves. In case,
16:52
if I'm passive, I am I accepting all all the negativity. I'm
16:56
not able to express my own feelings to am I you know, going into
17:02
my comfort zone and not coming out of it. Okay? So that is
17:07
something you know, we need to understand about our passive behavior. Then comes
17:12
the asset of behavior. Am I able to handle the conflict? What is
17:17
that it takes for me to express my feelings? Am I opening my feelings?
17:21
I'm opening up with my friends to you know, explain my issue.
17:26
See, all the stress comes when we are not able to express ourselves.
17:30
So expression is the main issue when it comes to mental health. You know,
17:37
stressed out you asked, you know what about if somebody is stressed out?
17:41
That means I'm unable to understand my feelings, I'm unable to talk to
17:47
others. Or maybe my expression is not correct. Okay, maybe I have
17:52
you know, very less tolerance towards other things. So these are something we
17:57
need to introspect. So, as I told you passive, there is also
18:02
assetive behavior, wherein we we don't have a baggage, We tell whatever we
18:07
want, We express ourselves freely. And the third thing aggressive. When when
18:11
it comes to aggressive behavior, you have very low tolerance. You cannot wait
18:15
for others to speak, or we don't give others an opportunity. We just
18:22
burst out on this, okay. So there is a very very thin line
18:26
between ascetiveness and aggressiveness. So in acceptive and aggressiveness, we are able to
18:33
tell our feelings express freely. But when when you are assertive, we are
18:40
totally in our control. My thoughts, my feelings, and my vocabulary is
18:45
in my control. When I mean as a aggressiveness, it's totally I am
18:49
not in my own control. So that is O. That is the nom
18:56
What do you say? That is a situation when you're out of your control.
19:00
You don't know what is happening to you. You know what is happening,
19:03
but you cannot control. So it's all about how we control ourselves,
19:08
not how we include ourselves in discussions. How are we you know, able
19:14
to you know, extend our help to others. So there are so many
19:18
things plucked when it comes many people should we need that? Many people suffer
19:23
from depression? Is depression also considered mental illness? Yes, depression is also
19:32
a mental illness. Depression actually when we are able to address it in the
19:38
very beginning. Okay, See depression is not built up over right. You
19:45
know, situations that is unfavorable to us and maybe we are unable to come
19:49
out of it. See it's it's not that. Many are times we try
19:53
to come out of it, but what happens is we don't know ways and
19:56
beings to come out of it. Many are times we we know that we
20:00
are depressed, but we don't want to talk to others. See, there
20:03
are different permutations and combinations and something. Many times we don't know that we
20:08
are even depressed. And you know, unfortunately there are many situations black whin
20:12
people don't know they are depressed. They know that something is wrong with them,
20:18
but they don't know what's actually happening to them. Some people they are
20:25
afraid to see a psychiatrist, or maybe they are embarrassed to see a psychiatrist.
20:30
They don't want nobody to know that they're seeing a psychiatrist. I'm hearing
20:34
and knowing, and I know you're you're one. People are more comfortable with
20:40
seeing a life coach. Do you find that happening a lot that they would
20:44
rather say, a life coach. And there's nothing wrong with seeing a psychiatrist,
20:48
but for maybe self esteem or maybe their comfort and seeing a life coach.
20:53
Yeah, see, I'll tell you Black. There is a difference to
20:59
start with, there is a difference between coaching and counseling. For coaching,
21:07
counseling is something to deal with your inner self, you know, totally come
21:11
out of it, and coaching is something that you know that you have a
21:15
problem. Okay, how is that you will come out of it? What
21:18
is that I can do? So that I'm able to come out of it.
21:21
So in a way, the role of psychologist slur life coach is end
21:29
of the day to help you. It is that in really if you want
21:33
to just you know, understand in depth, you want to do a proper
21:37
root cause analysis, you know, completely come out of it, you need
21:41
a count, you need a counselor in case you have acknowledged that it is
21:45
an issue you you know you want to go ahead, then life coach.
21:48
You know, coaching or a coach is a right option. So it includes
21:55
like you know what the emotional, psychological, that is social mean you know
22:00
which comes into the picture, or you know how productivity of fruitfully I can
22:06
leave my life or as what is a contribution I'm just giving to my society.
22:12
So all these things are there. So yeah, psychologists can help and
22:18
also a life coach. But if the problem is more on the psychological friend,
22:23
you need to visit a psychologist, counselor therapist. Maybe if you're able
22:27
to manage and you want to really work towards about then you can consult a
22:33
life coach. What age do you see more when it comes to children suffering
22:41
with I'll say living with mental illness. What age group do you see more?
22:48
Yeah, yes, see there is no proper age group. Maybe a
22:56
child in fact of one year also might have an issue. Wow identify christ
23:03
Yes see they don't know they they will not express. Actually, in psychological
23:08
terms, they say, you decide your life positioning between zero to five years.
23:15
By the age of five years, you might have drawn a blueprint of
23:19
your life. How is it going to do? Okay? Maybe why does
23:23
the child feel secured with a moment? Why does he cry when you know
23:27
some wisitor you know takes him simple logic, because they feel uncomfortable. That
23:34
is, they also have feelings and emotions. It's not that you know,
23:37
two year kid or three year kid don't have feelings, and it's only that
23:41
feelings are developed maybe in teenager or adults and or later adulthoodage. No,
23:45
it is it is developed from very very young age. So everybody of all
23:53
age groups have issues. See, maybe kids have a problem a certain kind
24:00
of issues. Maybe you know some security issues, or maybe you know they're
24:06
afraid of strangers. They have their own issues. Maybe when you're in your
24:10
early teens, you know, there are a lot of biological changes. There
24:14
are so many hormonal changes. What happens you know how to address, how
24:18
to address them. Maybe you have happier pressure, you you have you know,
24:25
society pressures. Maybe there is some kind of strict parenting, you know,
24:30
or too much of nurturing. Maybe behavioral behavioral patterns, behavioral changes,
24:34
maybe when you get into your career. So problem persist every at every level.
24:41
At elderly age, also they have you know, identify access. Maybe
24:45
somebody admit forties. Usually they have issue that you know, all of this
24:52
sudden the life has changed. So problems are it every every level. It
24:56
is that proper. We need to diagnose ourselves. It is that we need
25:03
to you know. See maybe for kids, it's the role of parenting.
25:07
So parenting plays a major role until the kid is twinned. So there is
25:12
a famous Yeah, I wanted to add something. There is a famous for
25:18
what they tell us parenting is a twenty year project. Everybody without experience jump
25:23
into that, you know, and you have to go through the process.
25:27
So especially parenting also plays a major role in upbringing or kids. What we
25:37
want we're talking about parenting, and you mentioned that at one years old they
25:42
can possibly be diagnosed with do you believe that children are born with mental mental
25:49
illness, or do you think it's something that was inherited from one of the
25:52
parents and it cannot be inherited from one of the parents. See his there
26:00
is a history which plays some role. It's not that you will inherent Okay,
26:06
So in case if there are some there is a history in your family,
26:12
that will also be taken into consideration. It's not that one year old
26:17
one year old child has a depression. Maybe I mean to say, they
26:22
have feelings and emotions, they don't know how to express it. So it
26:26
depends from Uh, sometimes it depends on the situation or the society where you
26:32
are, how your upbringing is, you know, how is your parenting style?
26:37
You know, what is that your thought? There are so many things,
26:41
Because maybe if I'm scared of scared of reptiles, that means I had
26:48
some past history where where I was not given proper confidence how to handle that.
26:55
Maybe sometimes I'm scared of dogs, Okay. Maybe in my child I
27:00
might have encountered such a situation where I didn't know how to deal with it,
27:04
so it continued. Maybe I have a phobia of math. You know,
27:10
I don't want to solve problems. So it's like that it's something which
27:15
is not addressed in the initial stage will lead to your habits, your beliefs.
27:22
So there is also a belief system which plays a major role in our
27:26
personality formation. As I have told there are different kinds of behaviors, there
27:32
is also a belief system because if in case, if you believe something is
27:36
correct in your thought process, you think that is the truth and we live
27:41
in it. And sometimes we argue that I believes are the reality or else
27:48
it's the truth for us, maybe not for somebody else. So here it
27:52
is important how strong is your belief system? You know, how strong is
28:00
your personality? You know, how are you able to manage your conflicts?
28:06
So what kind of lifestyle what kind of lifestyle changes can help someone who's living
28:11
with mental illness? What kind of lifestyle changes should they make? Is it
28:18
always medication or or is it just therapy? I guess it may depend on
28:23
what type of mental illness that they're living with. Okay, yes, to
28:30
start with, there are some examples of wherein your good mental health includes.
28:36
You know, first is feeling good about yourself and your abilities. That means
28:41
I am confident about myself and I trust my abilities. See, everybody will
28:48
have strengths and weaknesses. Okay, so it is always good you work on
28:52
your strengths. Okay, weaknesses will be automatically covered. So there is uh,
29:00
there is a logical statement which I'll say. You know, for example,
29:04
if you ask me what is your greatest strength, my greatest strength is
29:07
my family. So at the same time, Mike, this weakness also is
29:11
my family. So it is always it is good that you work on your
29:17
strengths so that your meatails are automatically addressed. So one thing is feel good.
29:25
You know, have have always you know, start with a positive note.
29:30
You can do it, you know. In that way, let me
29:34
say you affirmations, you know, like I'm strong, I'm beautiful, I
29:37
can achieve it. Okay, I'm unique, I'm a wonderful person. So
29:42
what happens is if you're having that kind of positive thought process or you know,
29:48
positive affirmations automatically, you're thinking patternships till you know, till that time
29:56
I was feeling low. The moment I say I'm strong and powerful, you
30:00
know, you can see what kind of expression changes in your body. So
30:06
it is all about feeling good about yourself and your abilities. And next thing
30:11
is you should be able to cope with difficult and stressful situations. So you
30:18
get your Yeah, so you get someone to acknowledge that they are living with
30:26
mental illness and the in therapy, you are seeing a psychiatrist and they're continuing.
30:30
Then the talk of medication is introduced and they refuse in medication. How
30:37
do you encourage them that the medication would benefit their mental illness. Yes,
30:45
so it's medication is useful and also plays a major role like your psychological booster.
30:56
Maybe I'm done with fever. The moment I take a tablet, I
31:00
feel okay. Now I have taken a tablet, I will get well soon.
31:03
It's a hope of free So at the same time with the medication,
31:07
it is also important that you have good lifestyle habits, you know, having
31:12
healthy relationships. That is something which is very very important. What do you
31:18
mean by health? Healthy relationship means where you're able to express freely what you
31:23
are feeling okay and in case if you have any disagreements, sit down and
31:30
resolve it. So having health relationship will be a good example of you know,
31:37
good mental health. Maybe you enjoy your life and activities and you know,
31:41
your feelings are in control. Okay. So and also maybe you you
31:48
just connect, connect with something. You know, if your photography is hobby,
31:55
no practice your hobby, so that is your stress burst. Maybe music
31:59
is my stress urson, Just listen to music. It's not that you know,
32:05
I listen for one hour, who was maybe five ten minutes. If
32:09
it's stressed, I'm having a lot of stress, office stress. Just come
32:14
out, take a break, just move away from the situation, relax,
32:17
take a break for five minutes, listen to your favorite music, you know,
32:22
and doing this with these are called mindfulness. Mindfulness techniques. You know,
32:27
eating is also mindfulness technique. You know, have you ever experienced that
32:31
you like chocolate? Just close your eyes, you know, and enjoy the
32:37
chocolate. Enjoy that moment. So what happens is when you're enjoying that moment,
32:43
you're living in that moment, so nothing is lingering in your mind,
32:47
so you're able to come out of it. So that is what they call
32:52
acceptance in psychological acceptance. So accepting life as it is is a way for
33:00
accepting the situations and you know, coming out positively and leading up positively mentally,
33:07
you know, stable life. So savena, how does mental health because
33:14
I know some people they're up all night. Some people just can't sleep.
33:20
How does the mental health affect a person's sleep? Does it manifest physically?
33:28
Yes? See, Uh, what happens is some people say that they're unable
33:32
to sleep. Okay, So in that there are three four aspects. The
33:37
first thing will be, I may am I connecting myself? Okay? Is
33:45
that I'm having not having enough sleep or I'm oversleeping? Or is how is
33:51
my quality of the sleep? So let me say you sleep is very very
33:55
essential. It comes to mental health because our brain also require rest. They
34:00
need to rest and so that they can process our emotions. You know,
34:04
they can process our memories and they can come out of it. So good
34:10
sleep, good food. It also related to your eating habits. It's not
34:15
only sleep. Okay, if you're eating, your eating habits are very good.
34:21
Okay, you take proper quantity of you know, whatever the ratio like
34:27
whitment, minerals, carbohydrates, everything, if it is in a proper ratio.
34:31
And how is your workout? Are you walking? Are you doing physical
34:35
exercise? Sometimes the day we are at home and when we don't do anything,
34:39
we are not tired, and we cannot expect that we sleep. We
34:43
have a sound sleep. So it is a proper lifestyle. So sleep thumbs
34:49
in the proper lifestyle. It's not only that you should just concentrate it.
34:53
We should concentrate. You know, how many hours hours of exercise you do?
34:59
You know, what is it? Quality time you spent, quality times
35:02
you spent with your loved ones? Okay, what does it? Activities you
35:07
do? You know, activities in the core, activities you do on day
35:12
in and day out. So all these things actually matters a lot. We've
35:22
been through a pandemic and there were some people just couldn't deal with the after
35:31
effects and going through the process. I know, we all went through it,
35:36
and in one way or another, some people walked away with trying to
35:38
resume their life as it was, which was difficult for many for those.
35:44
We were seeing more people with challenges with mental health since COVID. How great
35:50
are we for the next surge of COVID that's coming or that they say it's
35:53
coming. Okay, See, COVID has thought as many things. How we
36:02
can you know, remotely handle ourselves? How is that you know, I
36:12
can come out of a situation because there were situations that we did not come
36:15
out of for home for many months. You know, we were stressed out
36:19
because we are not meeting people. It also taught us that human being is
36:23
a social being. Yeah, so it is important and that life is uncertain.
36:35
What Covid thought us, This life is uncertain? How can I because
36:39
we never know what is going to happen tomorrow? So how can I not
36:51
not worried about what my holiness? How is that I get and you know,
36:58
come out of the situation? And there there are many many challenges.
37:02
But it also helped thought us how important is the mental health? There were
37:14
many less people who were speaking about mental health, but what happened. Your
37:19
mental health is very important than your physical gun health. If your ment the
37:29
li fit your physically fit maybe like somebody is. Yeah, how can health
37:37
policy and research help us create a There are a health care system everybody,
37:45
most of us during the pandemic, we suffered with you know, mental health.
37:49
You know it is important that you know you seek help. Okay,
37:53
there are many many resources available for us. You know, there are therapy,
37:59
is there is medication, there are support groups. You know you can
38:02
take care and take help of the tips. You know, first thing is
38:07
make sure that you're talking to someone at least okay, like you know,
38:14
to went out your feelings whenlation will solve ninety percent of your problem. Maybe
38:20
sometimes we were very eager to share some good news. The moment we share,
38:23
we feel better. Okay, maybe we wanted to talk to someone.
38:28
So there is a research that says that talking to someone you trust will really
38:34
help you to you know, acknowledge yourself about your feelings. Once you acknowledge
38:39
it will help you to cope with your what you say, stress and anxiety,
38:45
and you stay connected. Even though if you're living in isolation, there
38:51
are other ways and means by which you can connect to others. There is
38:54
on you can connect online, maybe you can, you know, there is
38:59
social there is video chart, there is phone calls. You know, there
39:02
is there are a lot of people who are ready to give us support,
39:06
like you know, online support groups, and now I heard about social media.
39:13
There was something on the news recently that some people were given advice as
39:17
far as how to deal with certain mental illness. You know, when this
39:22
happened to me, this is what I did, but it wasn't sound advice.
39:27
You know, I are you saying today it's best for them to speak
39:31
with someone who's reputable over somebody who's experienced mental illness exactly. See. The
39:38
first thing is if you trust, if you have good mentors, if you
39:43
have your parents somebody I mean, or the people you trust to talk to
39:45
them or else. It is also a good idea that you talk to a
39:50
logist, a counselor, or a therapist, maybe a coach. Okay,
39:55
So always it is good that we go to a professional. It's not that
40:00
you know, maybe uh see, sometimes we like to share with our friends.
40:04
There's nothing wrong in it. But in case if something which is above
40:07
and beyond, if even they also cannot help you, it is always good
40:12
you take help off of professional. And it is very important that you also
40:19
take care of your health. Physical health also, which is very very important.
40:22
Maybe that regular exercise, you know, getting enough sleep, Okay,
40:28
all these things also help you. This is great advice. Thank you so

different things tell different people. It's important to be open to a range of
41:19
approaches and to be committed to finding the right help and to continue to be
