Your leaves & absences are considered valid when you are suffering physically, but not if you are suffering psychologically.

All sufferings are valid
but not all sufferings are visible.

Just because someone is functioning, doesn't mean they aren't suffering.

Be kind, Always.

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Many people stop eating roadside food as exams approach, to protect their gut health

Shouldn't you also stop interacting with negative, pessimistic, complaining people around you to protect your mindset in the exam season?

You got a dream?🎯
You gotta protect it🛡️

Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them.

As a fellow psychiatrist Dr. Devashish Palkar said -

If you are willing to do EVERYthing for mental well-being of yourself & others, except taking professional help (the very thing that can actually help to achieve it), are you really WILLING to do "EVERY" thing?

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Many a times when difficult feelings pop up, we often turn to the screen or take the phone out. It's kind of an effort to shun away the feelings, to not acknowledge and feel them.

Feel those feelings.
Spend some ME TIME.

Your emotions can show you the way towards growth.

UNREALISTIC Mental health goals
⚠️ I want to never be sad/Angry
⚠️ I want to always be stress free

REALISTIC Mental Health Goals
✅ I wish to not react out of anger, sadness, be mindful of my emotions & process them better
✅ I want to learn new & effective ways to tackle stress

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

There are bad teachers, bad politicians, bad engineers, bad police, bad designers, bad therapists, bad sportspeople, bad bureaucrats & there are good ones too.

Every pond has some bad fishes🐟

Why do people say all doctors are bad if they come across 1?

🚫STOP GENERALISING🚫

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Psychiatrist Perspective:

If you are not happy with your current Psychiatrist/Therapist -

📢Please bring this up to them in the session.
📢You are free to look for another one

🏅The way they handle it would tell you alot about how to proceed.

I don't know who needs this
But YOU NEED TO STOP -

🚫CRITICISING YOURSELF
🚫COMPARING YOURSELF
🚫MAGNIFYING YOUR FAILURES
🚫BELITTLING YOUR VICTORIES
🚫USING 'SHOULD' STATEMENTS
🚫GUILT TRIPPING OVER PAST
🚫UNDERMINING YOUR ABILITIES

STOP Being 🛑 TOXIC 🛑 to yourself please.

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Sometimes we get so upset & fixated with what we aren't able to achieve that we miss to see what we have achieved & improved so far.

"But I'm still not where I wanted to be"☹️

"Well, that's true, but you are far ahead of where you started"📈

Small progress is still progress.

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

When you meet people with a checklist of qualities you want to see in them, you may surely ✅ some boxes.
But when you see people as they are, you might find many more things than your checklist.

❌See people as checklist
✅See people as they are.

How do you see people?

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

When in life you don't know what's the right thing to do, ask yourself what's necessary to be done at this time point.

Bhagwad Geeta (The song of the god) says - the thing that's necessary to be done is the right thing to do.

जो आवश्यक है वही उचित है ।

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Don't wait for the year to change to start working on yourself.

You are allowed to get into action sooner & if you miss the 1st of Jan, you can start on 2nd as well.

Time is an abstract, flowing concept, divided into smaller units by humans.

Take action NOW !

When you set Healthy Boundaries,

🏃You will lose some people because your boundaries may not fulfill their requirements.

🧘 Some people will mend their ways to be with you, respecting your boundaries, because they value the relationship.

Either ways - YOU WIN 🏆

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Sometimes forgive people even before they apologise & even if they don't.

As long as you wait for them, you are giving them 🔑 to your peace of mind You will keep waiting, feeling powerless, at their mercy.

YOU CANT CHOOSE PEOPLES ACTIONS, ONLY YOUR RESPONSE.

[Dr. Madhur Rathi @DrMaddyRathi]

Many times People with Depression may smile & laugh around others & wear a mask of ALL IS WELL.
But when alone, there is a sense of emptiness, hopelessness, guilt, urge to cry. When alone they find it unbearable to be with ownself

FEELING ALONE ≠ BEING ALONE

When we ignore the potential lessons in life 📝

We lessen our potential in life. 📉🤷

A 10 yr old child, lost his dad, saw a broken marriage, moved away from home, finds it difficult to study & talks about self harm

His caretakers say- He disturbs us a lot
I said- He is a lot disturbed & he seeks help not knowing how to ask it

CHILDHOOD DEPRESSION is real.
