00:00:00So there is no need to be disappointed. Dr. Swati, one thing
00:00:03that our first caller asked at the age of 71
00:00:07is that they solve Sudoku, and they are tired of doing
00:00:10some things very well now because they feel that these puzzles
00:00:14are easy for them. Would you like to say something else for the elderly because
00:00:18it is a very big and important age group, in which people
00:00:21feel a lack of social connection somewhere, if there is no spouse
00:00:25or children live abroad, then there is also a feeling of loneliness.
00:00:28How? How can they maintain their mental health
00:00:32and what new can be done? That's a very good question.
00:00:35So, recently, at our National
00:00:39Center for Aging, we celebrated International Day of Older Persons,
00:00:43where we invited five such people
00:00:47who were 90 plus and were very healthy individuals. So we asked them
00:00:50what the secret is, and they told us two or three very good things.
00:00:54So from that, I will take that the first thing is that it is very important
00:00:57for you to stay active. Games,
00:01:10its qualities.
00:01:30you feel like eating, but the more you
00:01:34focus on your physical health, the better your mental health will be,
00:01:37and your brain health will also be good. Thirdly, just as you
00:01:40are doing Sudoku, besides that, you mentioned a very good thing, which the caller
00:01:44said, writing with the left hand. So
00:01:48we have also read that if you do something
00:01:51that is different from your routine, and Doctor Swati also said that
00:01:55the activities we are doing should be done in
00:01:57reverse. Yes.
00:02:00Because the way your brain is working, as soon as
00:02:05you give it even a little challenge, there will obviously
00:02:09be more stimulation in the brain,
00:02:12it will remain more active. So if you write with your right hand, write with your left hand,
00:02:16sometimes walking backward, learning a new language,
00:02:20nowadays there are many apps from which you can also learn languages.
00:02:24So doing something new that you have never done before,
00:02:27all these things help your brain health, and most
00:02:31importantly, exercise. And while exercising, one thing
00:02:35we all do is that our mind is somewhere else. No, the mind should be on that
00:02:39exercise, which muscle is working, how it feels. So
00:02:42it also works as mindfulness that you are able to focus on it.
00:02:46Yes, so all these things also help because concentration,
00:02:50that is, focus, if you can maintain it, then this
00:02:53is also an indicator that your mental health is in the right direction
00:02:58what is being said to me about my work and is going well. So try to
00:03:37for best costume design,
00:03:43keep doing it. So if he doesn't sleep, we tell him to sleep properly, they don't understand, but we are saying if he is not sleeping, and we are worried about
00:03:47it, then we give him frequently, or one day a
00:03:51complaints are discussed. week, like on Sunday, if he has a holiday, then can I give him alprazolam 0.25 so that the children sleep
00:03:55well, and if they want to take their mobile, then
00:03:59लेना चाहते हैं तो
00:04:16work is not happening, work is not happening, that changes
00:04:18which Mahesh ji was also saying that should the child's mobile be snatched
00:04:310.25, 0.5, will there be any harm to it?
00:04:35Because there is so much mental space that the head will burst. You asked
00:04:38two very important questions. Yes,
00:04:42you asked very important questions. Doctors will answer
00:04:46Saurabh ji? both of your questions because both are important.
00:04:49Our second caller is Saurabh ji from Delhi. Let's hear his question too. Saurabh ji,
00:04:53please tell us what your problem is. Yes, hello, madam.
00:04:56Hello. Yes, madam, I want to know, I have had
00:05:00OCD since 2007, when I was in 11th grade.
00:05:03Right. So after OCD, I consulted,
00:05:06and then I overcame that OCD. Saurabh,
00:05:10how old are you?
00:05:13I'm 30 now.
00:05:14Okay.
00:05:17Can I do everything from 2007
00:05:21till now? Till now
00:05:23everything has happened, but this OCD keeps
00:05:27coming back. Okay. The problem is bothering me again and again.
00:05:30Dr. Krishna, I feel that I have to put in more effort
00:05:34than other people for anything. Yes, absolutely. The doctor
00:05:38has heard your question. He will tell you what
00:05:41to do. What would you like to say?
00:05:44The first caller's question was
00:05:48whether Alprazolam or Clonazepam can be given.
00:05:51So taking it without a prescription
00:05:55can cause a lot of harm, and there is a high chance
00:05:58of becoming addicted to it, because what happens is that
00:06:02once you use it, the addiction to use it again
00:06:06can cause a lot of harm. So taking it without a prescription
00:06:09and without consultation is not advisable.
00:06:13So do not self-medicate. Now let's come to the second question,
00:06:16Dr. Shiv Prasad, our first caller also said
00:06:20that the young generation, that is, Gen Z, are always on their mobile phones,
00:06:24they have become addicted, for a month they have lost the habit of sleeping
00:06:27at night. What can be done in such a situation?
00:06:29में,
00:06:33Madam Swati also said that we have to set a limit from the beginning
00:06:37itself, do not make it a habit
00:06:41in their behavior in this way. Nowadays, it is seen
00:06:43that working
00:06:47couples are so busy during the day, they are in the office,
00:06:51and in the evening when they come home, they themselves are so tired,
00:06:54so they give their mobile phones to small children. And
00:06:58for many, it has become a habit that they will eat only when the mobile is in front
00:07:02of them. Yes, and they proudly say that until the child is given a mobile, our
00:07:06child does not eat. Yes, so they should see this from the beginning
00:07:09and not make this habit
00:07:13a part of them. Yes, so such limits should be set from the beginning.
00:07:17Dr. Kaushik Dev, but now the problem has arisen,
00:07:21what is the solution now? In such a situation, the child is not getting sleep
00:07:24and addiction is clearly visible.
00:07:28What should be done? Practically, these are very difficult problems for parents, I will agree with
00:07:32that. For any reason, we can tell you the solution
00:07:36from experience. We go to many colleges,
00:07:39and there also the same issue is that all the students are awake
00:07:43at night or all the adolescents are awake at night, and after that, they wake up late
00:07:47in the morning and take their mobile. One reason for this is also that
00:07:51after 16 years, generally, our sleep cycle
00:07:54gets a little delayed until 30-35. That is biological,
00:07:58that is evolutionary that
00:08:00initially, sleep will come at 9-10 o'clock, in adolescence and young adulthood,
00:08:04it will go till 12-1 o'clock, and then it will be morning,
00:08:08they will wake up late. And there are some types of people who generally stay awake
00:08:12at night, and there are some people who wake up early in the morning.
00:08:15So it's not like we have to put everyone in the same parameter,
00:08:18that is, in the same box. But
00:08:21if someone is watching mobile all night,
00:08:25then for that, as Dr. Shef said, and others also said, some
00:08:28limit setting will have to be done. Right. The problem is that limit
00:08:32setting always feels like punishment that your phone
00:08:35will be taken away. So what happens in this is that the child gets
00:08:39more irritated because he feels that his independence will go away,
00:08:43and in early adulthood, we build our self-image through independence.
00:08:46That is why they do not listen to their parents anymore.
00:08:49If this is changed from punishment or negative
00:08:53reinforcement, which we call it, to positive reinforcement,
00:08:57then in many hostels and schools, they made
00:09:01it mandatory to play cricket or football in the morning.
00:09:05Now, generally, it will seem that this is not a solution.
00:09:08But as they went into the college
00:09:12team and did physical activity and played, where they
00:09:16were very happy, actually, their mobile usage started decreasing.
00:09:19Yes, so we will have to find alternate options,
00:09:23we will have to distract, divert, instead of
00:09:26snatching the child's mobile,
00:09:30for a day? He will feel that you are imposing restrictions, and
00:09:34this is what you should not do. And another question he had, Dr.
00:09:38Swati, about the tension regarding children's marriage and career. So
00:09:41how to relieve one's tension? That's a very good question.
00:09:45And many people come where obviously there is a financial
00:09:48issue or a child's marriage issue. So regarding that,
00:09:52see, it is very natural to have tension or
00:09:56worry about it. We all will, but at one point,
00:09:59I think we all have to ask what is in our control and what
00:10:03is not in our control. For example, if it's about
00:10:06children's marriage, now it will happen when it happens,
00:10:09but for that, what all can I do right now?
00:10:13If we can focus on that,
00:10:16without thinking so much about when
00:10:20it will happen, whether it will happen or not, how it will happen or not,
00:10:23thinking about it is not beneficial,
00:10:27it is causing more harm. As we say, worry is like a pyre.
00:10:31It's not easy, I would say, because obviously, if something
00:10:35is constantly on your mind, it's not so easy to get rid of it.
00:10:38But at one point, if you can stop yourself and ask, "Okay, I'm doing
00:10:42what I can do. Let's see what happens tomorrow.
00:10:46I'll focus on what I need to do today." One day at a
00:10:49time. Yes, so this can be a good strategy that you thought
00:10:53about that point today, wrote it down on your diary, and now
00:10:56you'll think about it tomorrow, because in simple words, it is also said that
00:11:00if you cannot change something, what is the benefit of worrying?
00:11:04And if you can change it, then change it, what is
00:11:07the need to worry? Therefore, do not worry in any case, and you have to make
00:11:11a habit, just as you have made a habit of worrying, you will also have to make a habit
00:11:15of letting go of worry. You will have to try daily.
00:11:18Rahul ji is with us on the phone line from Etawah. Rahul Chauhan ji,
00:11:22please ask your question.
00:11:28Rahul ji, please turn down the TV volume. Please ask
00:11:30your question.
00:11:34Yes, hello, Madam.
00:11:36Hello.
00:11:39Hello, Madam. Yes, hello, Rahul ji, what do you want to know?
00:11:43Yes, hello, Madam. Yes, what do you want to know, Rahul ji?
00:11:47Hello, Madam. I work in a department,
00:11:50so our seniors
00:11:54give us some orders,
00:11:56like
00:11:59and I want to know, Madam, if in the organization where we work,
00:12:03if our seniors are giving some
00:12:06suppressive orders that are time-bound,
00:12:10and we try our best
00:12:13to complete them, but somehow they don't get completed. Now, if I disseminate
00:12:17the same thing to my juniors below, then somewhere
00:12:21there is confrontation from their side. So in this
00:12:25situation, involuntarily saying something to someone
00:12:29and the conflicts are increasing
00:12:32day by day. Yes, this is a very important
00:12:35question. Dr. Kaushik, what can be done in such a situation?
00:12:39These kinds of time-bound situations, excessive stressful workload,
00:12:43happen to everyone, and in that, you feel that your
00:12:46mutual relationships are also deteriorating. What should you do first
00:12:50for your mental stability, and what can be done
00:12:53for this time management thing?
00:12:55है
00:12:58Workplace conflict. Rahul ji is absolutely right
00:13:01that wherever there is
00:13:05pressure, there will be work, and gradually, from top to bottom, there will be time-bound
00:13:09activities. One way to differentiate
00:13:12between the two is
00:13:15to observe but not to react. This
00:13:19means that suppose
00:13:23is not being said about my character or
00:13:26my total personality. If we can differentiate
00:13:29these two situations, if we can separate these two,
00:13:33which one is being said because my work is not happening, and which one is being said about me.
00:13:37And this is not just at one level, from the upper level also, where it is coming from,
00:13:40saying about the work, not about the person.
00:13:44So generally, where there is a high
00:13:47stress situation, for example, in the army or
00:13:51even in our medical profession or in media,
00:13:54in media, in video,
00:13:58it happens that when it's time to work,
00:14:01everyone works, at that time, people also get angry, that's
00:14:04normal. But after that, there is a stress relief session
00:14:07where after that, everyone goes and drinks tea or
00:14:11eats food, during that time, all the
00:14:16So what happens in that is that we are able to separate
00:14:20the individual person and the work, that yes, we had trouble with the work at this time.
00:14:23So essentially,
00:14:26in organizational management, depending on the stressor,
00:14:29we will have to think about some
00:14:32scope for stress relief in the design of the entire organization.
00:14:35Otherwise, only one side of the communication goes that
00:14:41to you are not able to do it, you are not able to do it. There is no distinction
00:14:45between the two, and that also affects efficiency, and productivity is also affected,
00:14:49and the health of the employees is also affected. Therefore, the
00:14:53organization has to think, but still, what could be the quick fix
00:14:57solutions? We will know from Dr. Swati, before that, Saurabh ji's
00:15:01question about OCD, Dr. Krishna, that he has been taking treatment
00:15:04for a long time, but he is not getting any benefit, the problem keeps
00:15:08coming back. What advice would you like to give
00:15:11Often when we talk about resistance,
00:15:15meaning the medicine is not working well,
00:15:18then generally we check if the medicines are being taken
00:15:21properly, if the dose is being taken in the correct
00:15:25amount, we check that, and after
00:15:29a trial of one drug, we try the second drug.
00:15:32After some such trials,
00:15:35when its effect
00:15:37does not work on the person's OCD, then we consider it as resistance.
00:15:41As resistance, then there may be a need to add
00:15:44another medicine or if someone has not used
00:15:48psychological treatments, then it is also important to use
00:15:52them. Often what happens is that for psychological treatment, one has to go
00:15:56to a psychologist, one has to give time, that is not easy and
00:16:00is also not available. So it is very important to try all this
00:16:03that not only medicines, but for OCD, the non-pharmacological
00:16:06treatment is also very important to use.
00:16:10Yes, Dr. Swati, what would you like to say? What kind of therapies can
00:16:14help OCD patients if they are disappointed? Although he did not
00:16:18mention how long the treatment has been going on, and the second question was
00:16:22that in his office, as our caller,
00:16:25Rahul ji, asked, if mutual relationships are getting spoiled,
00:16:29then it can be assumed that the stress
00:16:33has overpowered you, and you are not able to handle the situation. What to do? So let's go
00:16:36to OCD first. The gold
00:16:40standard psychological therapy for OCD is
00:16:43Exposure and Response Prevention. Basically, if
00:16:47there are compulsions, etc., that you have to check again and again or wash your hands
00:16:50again and again, then in this therapy, we teach the patient
00:16:54to make a list of how many times that work
00:16:58has to be done and how much trouble will be caused if it is not done.
00:17:01And then we gradually expose them to that thing, for example,
00:17:05if they need to touch a surface and wash their hands five
00:17:09times, then we teach them that you touch
00:17:12it, but do not wash your hands. There will be anxiety,
00:17:16uneasiness, but the more you tolerate it, the more it will
00:17:20gradually decrease, like habituation.
00:17:22And besides that, we also use CBT.
00:17:26So there are options that can be adopted, and what we had to do
00:17:29was your office. Okay.
00:17:33How to have good work and good health? Any mantra for that? So its
00:17:36simple mantra is that if it is very overwhelming,
00:17:40then obviously you will have to meet a mental health professional.
00:17:43But taking a step back, if you see at your level, as
00:17:47Dr. Kaushik said, whether it is about you or it is a generally
00:17:51stressful environment of the office that is bothering you, if it is
00:17:54general, then there, your colleagues or friends,
00:17:58have a coffee break with them, have a tea session where
00:18:01you vent your feelings and then get back to your work.
00:18:05Right. Dr. Kaushik, very quickly,
00:18:08treatment compliance, as he was also saying, is an illness, it's
00:18:11a symptom now, it happens to all of us, we are sick, until today we had symptoms,
00:18:15after that, we forgot when to take the medicine. It is very important
00:18:19that if there is a treatment, it should be completed. How important is it
00:18:23not to leave it, and secondly, to understand whether the disease
00:18:26is being controlled or cured. People ask, will our
00:18:30disease be cured? If controlled, is it
00:18:33equally good condition? Very quickly?
00:18:38Nowadays, most of the infectious
00:18:41diseases, for which we do a course of seven to ten days, after that, the
00:18:45disease is eradicated from the root. Traditionally,
00:18:49it was generally called cured. Yes, most of today's
00:18:52diseases are multifactorial, some are genetic, some are environmental,
00:18:55some are behavioral. In them, cure is not
00:18:59used in that way. For example, if you have
00:19:03high blood pressure, diabetes,
00:19:07thyroid, the meaning of cure or getting well
00:19:11for all of them is not to eradicate it from the root, it means
00:19:15that all the symptoms are gone. So the more we
00:19:17learn about mental illness, the more we are slowly understanding
00:19:21that there are so many conditions that ultimately happen. In mental
00:19:25illness also, cure is not always
00:19:28possible, but
00:19:32all the symptoms will be gone and our patients
00:19:35will be able to live their life fully. Right. So
00:19:39generally, patients tell us that Doctor, for how many years will the medicine
00:19:42be taken? So one of my patients told me,
00:19:46he taught me, "Doctor,
00:19:49when I am gone, if someone writes that I have not taken
00:19:53any medicine in my life, this will not be a big deal,
00:19:56but after I am gone, if people say that I lived my life to the fullest,
00:20:00that will be a big deal for me." So the lesson I learned from him is that we should not
00:20:04think about whether one medicine will be taken
00:20:08or two medicines will be taken or whether it will be for one month or two months.
00:20:11The important thing is that all the symptoms are gone and we live life
00:20:15fully and happily. Yes, so
00:20:18it is very important that if the doctor says that you need treatment,
00:20:22take treatment, because if your symptoms
00:20:26are controlled, then assume that your life is going better, and if any
00:20:29symptom appears, do not ignore it at all.
00:20:32We repeatedly tell you to avoid self-medication,
00:20:36and if you need a solution to the problem, then
00:20:40you have to go to a specialist. We will take some more information from
00:20:43the experts after a short break. After the break, when we return, there will be a rapid fire
00:20:47questions round. Keep watching DD News. We will be back soon.
00:20:50हैं,
00:20:55Sir, Sharmil's child is lost. The intention is to find him, right?
00:20:59Let's go.
00:21:08He went
00:21:12there. Sir, you have done wonders. If intentions are big,
00:21:15nothing is impossible. No, it's not Zeelux, it's Indian's Deluxe
00:21:19bike.
00:21:50From Mongia's passion,
00:21:52it heats up, melts, and becomes
00:21:56steel. Now, rebar with all
00:22:00साथ,
00:22:02Mongia Steel, strong country's strong
00:22:04rebar.
00:22:08Welcome to Total Health after the break. Experts are telling you how to better
00:22:12mental health. Let's start the rapid fire questions round.
00:22:16Short questions and very short answers. If it's in one sentence,
00:22:20it's even better. First answer, Dr. Kaushik, the question for you
00:22:24is what would you like to say about it, that mental health problems
00:22:27run in families, so if there is no problem in our family, we won't have it. Many
00:22:31people believe so. No,
00:22:34as I mentioned, there are many factors.
00:22:37Genetic is one factor, family is one factor,
00:22:41similarly, environment, school, behavior, lifestyle
00:22:44are all factors. And that is why we should not blame
00:22:47anyone for it at a single point, and we should also not think
00:22:51that if this factor is not there, I will not have it. Anyone can have it,
00:22:55anyone can have it, at any time. That is why there are experts.
00:22:59Dr. Swati, if someone has a mental health problem,
00:23:02if a health problem is causing mental distress, is it assumed that
00:23:06that person's personality is weak? Is that
00:23:09an indication? No, we don't use such a term that
00:23:13there is a weak personality. We all have personalities.
00:23:17Sometimes some people are not able to cope with some things.
00:23:20Some traits can be that they get upset easily
00:23:24or they make impulsive decisions, but
00:23:27we don't call it a weak personality, because many people
00:23:31who have achieved everything, strong personalities, also have these kinds of problems,
00:23:35among which depression and anxiety are the most
00:23:38common. Dr. Shiv Prasad, among these,
00:23:42what can be an indication or sign of a mental health problem?
00:23:46Frequent anger, sadness, mood
00:23:53these can all be. There can be a change in behavior.
00:24:08One starts eating too much or too little. Sleep starts coming
00:24:12more, sleep also comes very little. Tiredness
00:24:15starts in the body. Not wanting to talk,
00:24:18irritability, anger, these are many symptoms
00:24:22you have already mentioned. Yes, and if there are symptoms,
00:24:25you should not ignore them, thinking that everything is fine.
00:24:29Dr. Krishna Prasad, can overuse
00:24:33of social media or technology increase the risk,
00:24:36affect mental health?
00:24:40As we have already discussed, social media
00:24:44is almost very much in use
00:24:47in everyone's life nowadays, and if we
00:24:51use it so much that it affects our daily life,
00:24:54then definitely its effect on mental health is also bound
00:24:58to happen, and to a great extent, it can also be seen
00:25:02as an addiction when it affects so much that we cannot live
00:25:06normal daily life, and it can also become an addiction.
00:25:09So that's why, even if you are using
00:25:13technology, it's good to use technology, but you have to draw
00:25:16that fine line because
00:25:50if their dose is low, your money will also be wasted, the symptoms
00:25:54will not be cured, and slowly there will also be resistance against the medicine, so
00:25:58neither too less nor too much should happen. Dr. Shev Prasad, what message would you like
00:26:01to give to our viewers in one sentence?
00:26:04Just as the body gets sick, the mind also gets sick.
00:26:07So don't be ashamed of this, and
00:26:11consult your psychiatrist at the right time.
00:26:14Yes, Dr. Krishna, how
00:26:17important is it to take care of your mental health as well? Your message
00:26:21in one sentence. Just as we focus
00:26:25on physical health, it is equally important to focus on mental health.
00:26:28If any symptoms appear or we notice them
00:26:32in people around us, then it is very necessary to treat
00:26:35them immediately. Yes, and we celebrated Mental Health World Mental
00:26:39Health Day on October 10th. What is your message? How important is it to increase
00:26:43awareness and be aware about mental health? Dr.
00:26:46Kaushik, this year's Mental Health Day's

00:27:21can call it anytime, where trained counselors and psychologists
00:27:25are available. Other than that, my message will just be that I recently

00:27:32is gone. Ups and downs show that the heart is working. Life is like that,
00:27:36it won't be flat, there will always be ups and downs, problems
00:27:40will come and go. Self-support, family support, social
00:27:44support, and if it's not working, then expert support.
