@JhunuDr Goes against conventional wisdom in Psychiatry. 🙄

@BadreNicolas Ununderstandable to say the least. Here in India an average prescription is rational & goal directed not some wild salad.

Emotional First Aid
We rarely think twice about putting a bandage on a scrape or resting when we catch a fever. But what happens when the pain is on the inside?
Emotional First Aid Matters Too.
We are often so quick to push through our mental exhaustion, forgetting that our minds need just as much tenderness and care as our physical bodies.
Let's start giving our invisible wounds the same compassion we offer our physical ones.
If you are carrying a heavy load today, please know that your feelings are valid, and you don't have to carry them entirely on your own. It is an act of courage to reach out for a listening ear.
Tele MANAS is a safe, toll-free space available 24/7 at 14416.
What is one small way you practice emotional first aid for yourself on a difficult day?

Next time you hear the doorbell ring, take a moment to see the person behind the helmet. Rain or shine, through heavy traffic and tight deadlines, delivery partners are constantly on the move to make our lives easier.

But that daily hustle carries a lot of invisible stress. Their mental wellness matters just as much as anyone else's. Let's practice patience, offer a warm smile, and remember our shared humanity. A little kindness goes a very long way.

If you or someone you know is carrying a heavy invisible load, help is always available.

Please reach out to Tele MANAS; 24/7 toll-free at 14416.

GOOD POINT👇👇👇
To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....... You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed ......All of us
People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!

@Psychodoctor06 @deepi98deepi I too agree sir & I share it on my WA status. Hope you don't mind. 🙏

@Rossst_03 @caesar_aii So true. Sadly. But a much too common human frailty.

People who use drugs are highly stigmatized & discriminated against, and are often unable/ unwilling to access mental health services for fear of arrest/ harassment. Be kind & Help them to live life,

@theliverdoc Additional note too.

@theliverdoc Doc, your post is confusing. Plz simplify it.

An Ideal Doctor—
Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Call him anytime -day or night. Send WhatsApp messages, reports, photos he should reply instantly.
Whenever you need him, whether it’s 5 a.m. or Diwali night, he must be available for treatment.
Every treatment he gives must be 100% accurate.
No disease should be missed.
No complications should ever occur.
Even the laws of nature should not apply to him.
OPD consultation fee should be almost nothing.
After all, we’re “just talking,” so why should there be any fee?
If admitted to the hospital, he should give huge discounts on operation charges,
so we can afford a Deluxe Room and order whatever we want from the canteen or Zomato for a party.
He should prescribe medicines that are easily available everywhere,
and one prescription should last for 4 years — no need for follow-ups, tests, or re-evaluations.
He should consider accepting even a single pen from a pharma company as a sin,
but somehow he must automatically stay updated with all the latest, most expensive, and most effective new medicines.
He must keep studying continuously,
attend conferences and CMEs regularly,
but his clinic should never be closed.
He should have the latest machines, state-of-the-art operation theatres, and the best staff,
but the treatment cost should be like that of a government hospital.
He must personally see every report,
give every patient enough time,
but we should never have to wait when our turn comes in OPD.
He should be available on phone, WhatsApp, video call, messages, and email on every platform,but should never expect that his time also has any value.
We should be able to question him on every piece of advice we get from Google, YouTube, neighbours, relatives, or social media,
but he should never feel bad about it.
He should have 15–20 years of education and experience,
but readily accept defeat in front of our 15-minute internet research.
His hospital should have five-star hotel-like facilities,
but when we see the bill, it should feel like government rates.
He should treat every patient like his own family,
but his own family should be used to the fact that the doctor stays more in the hospital than at home.

He should have no personal life.
No holidays.
No festivals.
No illness.
No tiredness.
And most importantly —
If everything goes well, it is God’s grace.
And if anything goes wrong,
it is only the doctor’s fault.

Because in the eyes of the public, an ideal doctor is someone who:
Carries the responsibility of God,
possesses the honesty of a saint,
and gives the availability of a machine.
Are you an ideal doctor?

@JhunuDr All other mental health professionals/workers are non-medical persons. The reason why they do not have direct OPDs.

[Dr.Rajnikant Shukla @rkspsych]

@JhunuDr There should be no confusion here. See a person trained in modern medicine first - a medical doctor who can identify a general medical condition - a psychiatrist first. Always.
