The Union Health minister has underlined need for more psychiatric departments in medical colleges. .

have we suddenly become more prone to mental illness. If so, will it not be better to create circumstances that may reduce mental tension and worries. This will need training people more in art of positive, realistic and optimistic thinking.

Yes its a great move as now a days people are more stressed then they used to be in the past as the price of everything is increased so much that we have to work very hard to avail them. I have seen many of the people go in depression these days due to pressure at work place and tensions at home. :blink:


If we can remove cause of depression, people will not suffer from this. People generally get frustration owing to over ambition, over stress and pessimistic thinking. These are the causes that need to be tackled rather than increasing patients for psychiatrists.


ideally whatever you said is alright but it never happens. I do a job and always remain stressed at work place I try my best not to carry stress of my office to home but I can't. This is me may be I am strong enough who tolerate this stress but there are people who come in depression by this. :blink:


What you said is correct. We cannot change life. We must be strong enough to fight stress. Also one must know his limit. I know a person in military farm. He refused promotion just because he felt that he would not be able to manage stress of higher responsibility.


Yes its true in my organization too people don't want to get promoted as they know on the higher post they will have to bear more stress and pressure.But that's not the solution one must find out the ways to fight with the situation. :blink:


I agree. One must build strength to beat the stress and avoid frustration and depression. Everyone has not same capability. It is better to build capability and rise in your career. But if you are unable to do so, it is no use taking extra liability and kill yourself. One must understand himself and act accordingly.
I think more than psychiatric department there is a need of psychology counselling department. There are many psychiatric departments but only limited number of psychology department.
Whenever a person is stressed out either due to work or family tension, he is referred to a psychiatrist but actually he needs a psychological counsellor who can understand his problem and provides him the solution.

yes, i agree with you.
Very often people hesitate to go to a psychiatrist. Counselors can thus play a role here. They can refer people to psychiatrist if they feel its need. Also, patients will feel more comfortable

One of my friend is a psychiatrist she says she see lots of patients in a day.But she says most of the people are those who are stressed due to home or work pressure at work place. :blink:

A few days back, my dearest friend fell down due to chest pain while he was at office. He is saying ...due to work tensions!!!!
Psychiatrist would always have long que of patients in his clinic. This proves that todays generation are suffering more from mental illnesses rather than physical diseases (some mental illnesses cause physical complaints).

In software companies heavy pressure for finishing the project. They got depression because more work time.

I guess the only way to relieve the stress and tension is to work within a particular time period and within ur own limit.. I have seen one thing with indians that they like to work beyond their capacity.. For example- if a person has 9 to 5 duty then he must work for that much time only.. But he never does that instead he will work 5 hrs extra in order to complete the project.. If every 1 stands against such work exploitation I believe the work stress would reduce drastically.

More surprising is that he is a normal government employee. But he is a sincere worker, that's the problem.

Actually, I have made him a Boddunan member. But he has posted only 1 post in forum. :evil:

Let me tell you what happened today morning.
My husband woke up around 5 am. He is a private bank employee. Normally, he sleeps till 6-6.30 am. When asked, he said, he is not getting sleep. I told, sleep for 1 more hour. Yesterday also, you reached late.
But he replied, I don't think I can sleep now. So much job pressure. Prepare breakfast quickly. I want to reach office at 7.15 am. :huh:
He spend a few hours surfing and left home before 7 am, even without taking tiffin. He said, he will reach at 7pm. But I don't think, he will leave office before 9.30pm or 10. That much job pressure, private sector is facing.
Even after working for a long time, instead of getting appreciations, they are getting scoldings more and job threat. That's why private employees are working as animals.
A time was there, when poor people work like animals for their masters. But now, normal workers are acting as masters and getting Rs.700-1000 rupees daily, while educated employes need to face so much work pressure :sick: :sick:

There is more work and responsibility in private organizations. One person employed at Delhi once told me that he knows only when he will go to his office but cannot say when he will return. In higher ranks, there is more responsibility and work. The motto is - result orientation. So you must finish the allotted work before you leave. But still most are not frustrated. They adjust to environment.
Yes, giving more salaries mean..giving more responsibilities. It invite a lot of tensions, yet can't avoid!!!

This is not always true as in private sectors there are organization which pay less and ask for more work.They even don't give time for a person to search a job. :evil:

But that's fact once a person goes on higher designation his work responsibilities increase he may not be expected to do the routine work but he is accountable for the work his subordinates do. :evil:

It hurts more when we are scolded by the boss for some fault of our subordinate. :evil:

It happens with me many time but nothing can't be done as it happens in job with every one. :blink:
Yes they are really needed in our country as daily daily the stress is increasing in our lives like a temperature with the psychiatric it may cool.

Actually, mu husband is facing this much pressure because his subordinates are not performing well. Already he has fired 2-3 of them. :laugh: :laugh:

Earlier, we were at Kodungallur. He was working in a branch, which was Lord Krishna Bank before. So, a lot of employees who belong to bank associations. So, they never work. Also, he can't tell anything against them as they will protest and raise their flags. When he joined there in 2009, many employes were not even ready to login or use a computer. Till then all were doing transactions manually. Actually, he has to teach them from primary principles of MS-Word, Excel and internet. How much difficulties he faced that time, no one can imagine.
I think its a welcome move. It is not that we have suddenly become more susceptible to various mental illnesses than before, it is only that the same illnesses existed before also but they were not looked at with compassion, but rather more as insanity and craziness and those who admitted having them were shunned by others. Now, with more awareness about those illnesses and increased stressors, people are now accepting them as illnesses.


In fact counselling should be done at school itself to arrest any kind of waywardness and mental instability.Many schools now have trained counselors who are able to detect any signs of mental instability in children, esp during teen years and take steps by involving the family and sometimes even close friends...
