00:01:35that yes, I am fine,
00:01:39could this be a sign
00:01:41that everything is fine? It is not always
00:01:45necessary to remain strong. If needed,
00:01:48asking for help when necessary can also be considered
00:01:51true courage. Nowadays,
00:01:55there are fitness goals, everyone follows
00:01:59diet plans, and almost everyone has a gym routine.
00:02:02But do we really do anything for
00:02:06the fitness of our mind, that is, do we pay attention to it?

00:02:34I am Kiran Bhardwaj.
00:02:48Mental health is important for everyone, but do we really
00:02:52pay attention to it? If asked to go to the doctor,
00:02:55what will people say? Such questions come to the mind of every person
00:02:59who feels that they are suffering from some mental health problem
00:03:02and the fear that people might find out about it is a big concern
00:03:06in their mind. So are only people with
00:03:10weak personality affected
00:03:14by mental health problems? Or if we are having mental
00:03:17health problems, would it be right to think that
00:03:21our personality is weak?
00:03:25Today we will understand this from experts. Along with this, we will also know
00:03:28what effect stress, anxiety
00:03:32and overthinking have on our mental health.
00:03:35Do all these factors affect
00:03:39our mental health somewhere? Nowadays
00:03:42many adolescents and people of all ages
00:03:46are very active on social media.
00:03:49What can be its effect? We will also understand this from experts.
00:03:53Can cyber bullying affect
00:03:56the mental state of children and youth? If
00:04:00yes, how? What kind of effects can there be
00:04:04on the mental state? If an adolescent, a youth
00:04:08or a child is being cyberbullied,
00:04:11we will tell you this and also

00:04:16and to make it better. How to recognize if our anxiety
00:04:18or any symptoms that are happening are normal
00:04:22or if we need help and to go to an expert?
00:04:26Is this a sign of a mental problem?
00:04:29How to identify this, we will understand
00:04:33from experts. There are many situations where a person gets a panic
00:04:36attack. This is mentioned quite often. So
00:04:40what is the situation of a panic attack? What is this state
00:04:44and how can a person be helped in such a situation?
00:04:48That is, if someone has a panic attack,
00:04:51what should be done in such a case? We will understand this from experts.
00:04:55Does excessive use of mobile and social media,
00:04:59which everyone does nowadays, scrolling late at night
00:05:02and watching reels, which goes on and on,
00:05:06due to which they also stay awake late at night, does doing this affect
00:05:09our mental health? And what?
00:05:12Can it increase the risk of mental health problems?
00:05:16How much truth is there in this and how does it
00:05:20affect? This needs to be understood.
00:05:23Even after being connected in the digital world,
00:05:27do many of us feel lonely nowadays?
00:05:30They feel that they are active on social media,
00:05:34but is something changing inside? Is the situation
00:05:38changing and is their person
00:05:41and mood being affected by it?
00:05:45Does being mentally healthy mean
00:05:48that you always have to be happy? That is, if you are happy
00:05:52in every situation, will that be considered mental health?
00:05:55We will also talk about this with experts and also
00:05:59understand what mental health actually is.
00:06:02How essential are counseling
00:06:05and psychotherapy in improving mental health problems
00:06:09or such situations? What is its role?
00:06:12How helpful can counseling be if
00:06:15a person has any kind of problem? Experts will explain
00:06:19this to you and also tell you how important it is
00:06:22to take psychotherapy in this situation. What habits can
00:06:26you change from today to improve your mental health
00:06:29and what can be started? That is, what habits do you need
00:06:33to adopt and which ones do you need to change a little? All these things will be discussed today
00:06:36in this one-hour discussion of Total Health. Let's start
00:06:40with a report and understand how important our mental
00:06:44health is and what factors can affect it.
00:06:48Both physical
00:06:49and mental
00:06:57health are necessary to be completely healthy.
00:07:00Mental health is as important as taking care
00:07:04of the body. Mental health does not
00:07:08just mean the absence of mental problems,
00:07:11but also being emotionally balanced,
00:07:15dealing with stress, maintaining good relationships
00:07:18with others, and effectively dealing with life's challenges.
00:07:22There are many factors that can affect
00:07:26a person's mental health, such as excessive
00:07:29work pressure, relationship conflicts,
00:07:32poor physical health, chemical
00:07:34imbalance in the brain, diet, sleep,
00:07:38and mental trauma. All these have an impact on a person's mental
00:07:42health. When there is a problem,
00:07:46it is necessary to talk about it and also consult
00:07:49an expert. To stay healthy,
00:07:52maintaining better mental health is important. In today's fast-paced
00:07:56life, work pressure, excessive use of social media,
00:08:00loneliness, and irregular
00:08:03routine are all affecting our mental health.
00:08:06Therefore, it is essential to understand the needs
00:08:10of your mind and take time for its care.
00:08:13Continuous stress, anxiety, sadness,
00:08:17irritability, changes in sleep, lack
00:08:20of concentration, and the desire to stay away from people
00:08:23can all be symptoms of mental health problems. If these
00:08:27symptoms persist for a long time and start affecting
00:08:30daily life, it is necessary not
00:08:34to ignore them, but to find
00:08:37their cause and get proper treatment. Take
00:08:40good care of your mental health so that your overall
00:08:44health remains good. Kiran Bhardwaj, DD

00:08:52Staying in high energy and then suddenly feeling low, getting angry
00:08:56over small things, is this normal or is our mind giving
00:09:00us a signal or a warning sign? And if this happens,
00:09:04that is, if we feel that something is wrong, then what to
00:09:07do? Experts will tell you this, because when there
00:09:10is a fever, we immediately go to an expert for medicine,
00:09:14but when it comes to mental health problems,
00:09:17why the silence? So let's break this silence today
00:09:21and connect you with experts, meaning let's find out what you
00:09:28For a detailed discussion on this topic, we have
00:09:32a special panel of experts. Let's introduce them to you.
00:09:35Today we have Dr. Kaushik Sinha Dev,
00:09:38Professor, Psychiatry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences.
00:10:12Those tips will also be told to you. We will have Dr. Krishna Prasad,
00:10:16Professor of Psychiatry from NIMHANS Bengaluru. A very warm welcome, Dr. Krishna
00:10:20Prasad. The topic today is related to the health
00:10:23of all of us. Because when we talk about total health,
00:10:27that is, if you want to achieve complete health,
00:10:30you also need to pay attention to your mental health. What habits to change,
00:10:34what changes to make, and how you can move forward,
00:10:38how you can achieve this target, we are providing this information to you.
00:10:41If you have any questions related to this topic, you can call
00:10:45us at these numbers, 011 Delhi's STD code that you have to dial. The number is
00:10:4823097648
00:10:5123097671 and 2309
00:10:55765. You can also email us your questions at dd
00:10:58news totalhealth@gmail.com. So let's solve this mystery
00:11:02and try to improve our mental health.
00:11:06First of all, Dr. Kaushik, let's talk about mental health.
00:11:10How important is it for our health and
00:11:13how should we understand what kind of person would be called
00:11:17mentally healthy? It is in a good shape,
00:11:20good condition.
00:11:23Thank you. Actually, this is a very important question,
00:11:26its background is that
00:11:29earlier most of the work we were doing
00:11:33was physical work, so at that time
00:11:36our kings, emperors, our armies, all
00:11:40were known for their physical importance.
00:11:43But gradually, as our
00:11:46work became brain dependent,
00:11:50our mental health started becoming important.
00:11:53Now, the difference between mental health
00:11:57and mental illness is that mental health is not only the negative part that it's not that
00:12:01I am bad, but resilience, how quickly can I
00:12:05face the changing situations? And stress resistance,
00:12:07if I am getting any stress from outside
00:12:11or any problem, how easily can I bear
00:12:15it? These two things are the basic
00:12:18pillars of mental health
00:12:22and wellness. So,
00:12:25I think that is the difference between mental health and right. And that's why
00:12:28it's necessary to first understand how to improve the situation.
00:12:32Dr. Swati, is the absence
00:12:35of any mental illness, meaning if someone is not
00:12:39sick, can that be considered mentally healthy,
00:12:43or should we also pay attention to some other components?
00:12:46As Dr. Kaushik said, the only difference
00:12:50between mental illness and mental health is how much
00:12:54you can cope and adapt. So if someone
00:12:57does not have a diagnosed mental illness, it doesn't mean that they cannot feel distress
00:13:01or they cannot have problems. For example,
00:13:05if someone did not get good marks in an exam,
00:13:09then they did not sleep properly for four or five days, they are upset,
00:13:13they are crying, then that is a form of distress, but it is not a mental illness.
00:13:17Or if someone has some other loss,
00:13:20a breakup, and then they are upset, then that is not a mental illness.
00:13:24So there are parameters for mental illness that
00:13:28some particular symptoms continue for a long time
00:13:31and despite their own efforts, they do not get better,
00:13:35then we talk about mental illness. But before that,
00:13:38it is very natural for someone to be stressed.
00:13:42Life has its ups and downs. If they can come out of it
00:13:46with their own help, with family, friends,
00:13:49community support, then it will not lead to mental illness.
00:13:53But somewhere a small mistake happens,
00:13:57which takes the form of a big problem, and that is that
00:14:01when a person starts having a problem, they hesitate
00:14:04and don't talk to anyone. So if you are feeling any kind
00:14:08of problem, if you are seeing some unusual signs and symptoms,
00:14:11then the first and important step is to communicate,
00:14:14talk, and understand what is actually the cause
00:14:18of the problem. Many factors
00:14:21have started affecting our mental health. Dr. Shiv
00:14:24Prasad, would you like to tell us what are those
00:14:27weapons, what kind of threats
00:14:31are affecting mental health somewhere in today's modern world?
00:14:34For example, gadgets are being used a lot nowadays
00:14:38and there are no limits to it. And
00:14:42those who get too addicted to it, they keep doing it all day
00:14:45long. And the feeling of competition,
00:14:49the expectations of parents, and eating
00:14:52and living. Staying up late
00:14:57and waking up late in the morning,
00:15:00not following one's routine properly,
00:15:04and lack of exercise
00:15:08and communication with each other, as you mentioned, people don't talk
00:15:11to each other. Most of the time they are on their mobiles
00:15:15or lost in themselves.
00:15:19So these are many things that affect nowadays.
00:15:22So to
00:15:25balance life, one should pay special attention to everything,
00:15:28like one should sleep on time, one should also exercise on time,
00:15:32one should also meet people, if there are any differences
00:15:36of opinion, they should be resolved by sitting down
00:15:39and one should stay away from addiction as much as possible.
00:15:42So, at the beginning of the program,
00:15:46a very important and significant message has already come.
00:15:49We know all the idealistic situations and what to do, but people
00:15:53don't do that. So how to motivate oneself? This
00:15:57is another thing. Dr. Krishna, what kind
00:16:00of symptoms should a person understand
00:16:04that something is not right and
00:16:19what happens when you share it? People keep their problems
00:16:23to themselves, and due to the perception
00:16:27of mental problems in society, it becomes difficult
00:16:30for people to share
00:16:33The common diseases that we consider normal
00:16:37can
00:17:00remain in people in some form or another. And
00:17:04as Dr. Swati said, when these symptoms
00:17:08are such that they persist continuously
00:17:11and due to them, there is a significant impact
00:17:14on life or daily routine, only then do we consider them a disease.
00:17:18For example, if we take depression,
00:17:22its symptom can be that a person
00:17:26continuously experiences sadness. It is normal for all of us
00:17:30to experience sadness in some situation or another. But
00:17:33when it persists continuously, often without any reason,
00:17:37or there is irritability or lack of sleep,
00:17:41when this persists continuously, only then do we consider
00:17:44it a disease. As soon as these
00:17:48symptoms appear, it is not easy to assess oneself
00:17:52whether it is a symptom of a disease. And many people
00:17:56endure it for months. But if
00:17:58we see these changes in someone around us,
00:18:02then informing them that it could be a symptom
00:18:05of a disease is also very important. And when we know that there is this problem,
00:18:09it is very necessary to go to a doctor, to a psychiatrist.
00:18:13And it's important to understand that if
00:18:16these symptoms are happening, it's normal. If stress is happening,
00:18:20it's normal. Nowadays, everyone finds
00:18:23these terms so normal in their stress and their
00:18:27entire life that even children say, "Don't talk to me today,
00:18:30because I am depressed today." When should it be considered a disease?
00:18:34We will also know this. Before that, we have two callers with us, Naveen Jain
00:18:37from Agra and Shailendra ji from Prayag. Naveen ji, Namaste,
00:18:54Agra, Uttar Pradesh. I am 71 years old. Sir,
00:18:57I have been playing Sudoku for 10-12 years. Now I don't feel
00:19:01like it because I solve all the puzzles, hard experts and so on.
00:19:05I just saw a new video that for brain health,
00:19:37Madam, I keep watching things online on my laptop, like cars,
00:19:41airplanes. It takes some time. Is this right or not
00:19:45for me? I am 71 years old, Madam. 71 years,
00:19:48very good, Naveen ji, that you are so active and pay special
00:19:52attention to your mental health. Keep watching the program. Experts will
00:19:56tell you in detail what else you can do. Shailendra ji from Prayag
00:19:59is with us. Welcome, Shailendra ji,
00:20:12I want to ask that for many years, I mean since childhood, I didn't know,
00:20:16when I grew up a bit, in 2004, I went to Mumbai,
00:20:18from there I came to Delhi, and from Delhi, I went to Mumbai again,
00:20:22and I have consulted RML and KEM Hospital and Dr. Hari Setty.
00:20:26What used to happen to me was that when I left home for work,
00:20:30I would wonder if the room was locked or not, and what was its name?
00:20:33I always used to do one task repeatedly.
00:20:36For example, when we do work, I would wonder if the right
00:20:40one went to the left, or the left one went to the right. And
00:20:44I never had any energy, it was always zero. Shailendra ji, how old
00:20:48are you? What is your age?
00:21:22whereas we never diagnose any disease with just
00:21:25one phone call. That is not right at all.
00:21:28So for Shailendra ji, it would be that the
00:21:31symptoms you are describing are
00:21:36Repeatedly checking or feeling that my hands
00:21:40have become dirty or whether the tap is on or not, whether the gas is off or not, all
00:21:43these things, if it is causing so much trouble
00:21:47that it is also causing stress and difficulty in work,
00:21:50then at one point, first of all, as you
00:21:54showed, you should consult some mental health professional, a psychiatrist,
00:21:58a psychologist. After that,
00:22:00at least here at AIIMS, a detailed
00:22:04workup, an evaluation, is done. And
00:22:07there are many medicines and many therapies
00:22:11that are quite successful in OCD. The problem of OCD,
00:22:14which we call Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, is that obsession means
00:22:18the same worry comes repeatedly in the mind,
00:22:22which the person feels why is this thought happening to me,
00:22:25and for compulsion, something has to be done.
00:22:29Until that worry remains, something has to be done,
00:22:32otherwise the restlessness increases. So the problem with OCD
00:22:36is that it is a very fluctuating illness. So usually
00:22:40when the medicine starts, some improvement comes and the patient feels that
00:22:44he is fine now, then the chronic or long-term
00:22:47management usually starts having problems.
00:22:51Otherwise, it's not that OCD is incurable or
00:22:54OCD is a very difficult disease. It can be managed.
00:22:58Right. So Shailendra ji, if there is a problem,
00:23:02we hope that there isn't, but if you are really facing so much trouble,
00:23:06because you said you are 44 years old, then it would be better to meet
00:23:10a mental health expert and get assessed. If there is a problem,
00:23:13there are many solutions to it. There is no need to be disappointed.
00:23:17But yes, addressing that problem is most important.
00:23:21And our first caller was Naveen ji, who was
00:23:2471 years old. Dr. Krishna, what would
00:23:27you suggest? He said that nowadays he also pays a lot of attention
00:23:31to video games and new games. Is doing this
00:23:35a good option to increase or maintain
00:23:38brain activity at the age of 71?
00:23:42He is doing many things well, what he is saying is that
00:23:46he keeps himself very active. It is very important
00:23:49to protect oneself from mental illness and diseases like dementia
00:23:53by remaining mentally very active, like playing Sudoku
00:23:57and learning new things which he is doing. This
00:24:00preserves the brain's reserve and due to this,
00:24:04protection from diseases like Alzheimer's dementia
00:24:08is greatly increased. And staying connected
00:24:11always helps with the other common mental problems.
00:24:14Often what happens is that after retirement or after 60,
00:24:18we don't pay attention to our regular
00:24:22work and start isolating ourselves. Children also
00:24:26move away. So
00:24:28due to this, a feeling of loneliness is felt
00:24:32and connection with people also decreases. We also don't
00:24:36pay much attention to exercise. Due to all this,
00:24:40the brain is definitely affected. So staying active
00:24:43is very important and what he is doing is very good for his brain health.
00:24:47So it is very important to be aware of your mental health.
00:24:51It is true that every time a problem or symptom
00:24:55appears, it is not a sign of illness,
00:24:58but it is also important to know whether it is an illness or not.
00:25:02Therefore, if there is a problem, go to an expert.
00:25:06Don't be your own doctor. How can you improve your mental
00:25:10health? We will also know about the effective ways
00:25:13from experts after a short break.
00:25:15Keep watching DD News.
00:27:25after the break. We are talking about how to improve
00:27:28mental health. Currently, we have a caller from Indore
00:27:32on the phone line, Shiv Kumar ji from Madhya Pradesh. A very warm welcome to you,
00:27:36Shiv Kumar ji. What would you
00:27:37like to know?
00:28:00is 40 years old. Yes.
00:28:17Her daughter has a problem of schizophrenia. How long
00:28:20does the treatment last? Yes.
00:28:24Her daughter, as she mentioned, has schizophrenia,
00:28:27which is a mental illness and is a bit
00:28:31more severe. Her treatment has been going on for 2 years.
00:28:35According to what she is saying, her daughter got this disease at the age of 40.
00:28:38And the younger the age,
00:28:42the poorer the prognosis. But
00:28:45since it's at a later age, there are chances that
00:28:48she will get better soon. Keep meeting
00:28:50your doctor who is treating her,
00:28:54and keep taking medicine on time, then
00:28:57there is a good chance of recovery. And it is possible
00:29:01that sometimes one or two more may have to be taken, so that is decided
00:29:05based on the symptoms how many tablets to take.
00:29:09And along with that, also involve her in other things.
00:29:12Along with medicines, also make changes in her daily
00:29:15life. Give her some work and involve
00:29:19her more and more in other fields from which
00:29:22she is working. Since she is 40 years old,
00:29:26she must be working in some field or earlier,
00:29:30just at home or something, so her cooperation and contribution in those things should also
00:29:34be more and more. Shiv Kumar ji, keep
00:29:37getting treatment, keep getting treatment, and if
00:29:41you talked about getting well, if the symptoms are controlled,
00:29:45that is, if your daughter's life is If the quality of life is fine,
00:29:48then assume that everything is fine. If symptoms remain under control by
00:29:52regular treatment, then her quality of life, that is,
00:29:56her daily tasks, will also be performed better.
00:30:00So there is no need to be disappointed, Dr. Swati. One thing that
00:30:03our first caller asked at the age of 71, that
00:30:07they also solve Sudoku, everything you do so well.
00:30:11They are tired of doing some things because they feel that these puzzles are easy for them.
00:30:15Would you like to tell something else for the elderly, because it is a very
00:30:18large and important age group in which people somewhere or the other
00:30:22feel a lack of social connection. If the spouse is not there or
00:30:26children live abroad, there is a feeling of loneliness.
00:30:29How can they maintain their mental health and what new
00:30:33can be done? This is a very good question. So
00:30:36just now, at our National Center for Aging,
00:30:40we celebrated the International Day of Older Persons,
00:30:43where we invited five such people who were
00:30:4790 plus and were very healthy individuals. So we asked them
00:30:51what the secret was, and they told two-three very good things.
00:30:54So from that, I will take that the first thing is that it is very important
00:30:58for you to stay active. Games now one
