Psychiatrist | Addiction & Mental Health | 🇵🇰 Pakistan | Making mental health, addiction & human behaviour easier to understand | Since 2009

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

I'm a psychiatrist, but this isn't going to be another account full of medical jargon.

I'll talk about addiction, depression, relationships, parenting, human behaviour & psychological issues in Pakistani society.

Follow along. Let's make mental health easier to understand.

@MianAbdullahRa1 @doctor_khurram Woh to mujay be aj nehi aa rehi. It happens.

@TanzilaAwanPK Not everything needs an explanation, an argument, or closure. Some things are better understood, accepted, n left behind. Protect your peace. Not every battle deserves your energy.

@Umme_Eeshal میں بہت کمزور تھا اس ملک میں ہجرت کے بعد
پر مجھے اس ملک میں کمزور تر اس نے کیا

راہبر میرا بنا گمراہ کرنے کے لیے
مجھ کو سیدھے راستے سے در بہ در اس نے کیا

@mukhtarmuzmil کچھ لوگ آپ کی خوشی سے بھی اس لیے ناراض ہوتے ہیں کہ وہ آپ کو ہمیشہ تکلیف میں دیکھنا چاہتے تھے۔ مگر سب سے خوبصورت جواب یہ ہے کہ آپ خاموشی سے خوش رہیں، کیونکہ جس کا سہارا اللہ تعالیٰ ہو، اسے کسی کی بددعا یا بدخواہی نہیں توڑ سکتی۔

@kiddy_ali مسئلہ علم کی کمی سے زیادہ اختلاف برداشت نہ کرنے کا ہے۔ سوشل میڈیا نے سب کو بولنا سکھا دیا، سننا نہیں۔ اصل بات یہ ہے کہ اپنی رائے رکھیں، مگر دوسروں کو بھی مختلف سوچنے دیں۔

@ArifRetd نفسیات میں اسے emotional regulation کہتے ہیں، جذبات کو دبانا نہیں بلکہ ان پر اختیار رکھنا۔

@i_ifraa It's one of my favorite. Thanks for sharing

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@i_ifraa Chahat yahi hai ke is kadar pyar dun

Kadmo mein tere main do jahan waar dun

Chain mera le lo, khushi meri le lo

De do mujhe de do sare gham...

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@oyebajwey You have a point here.

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@Autumn6cry Mubarak ho, Mubarak ho, Mubarak hooo to those who didn’t make it. You may have just been saved from years of sleepless nights, endless exams, enormous responsibility and a career that demands much more than good grades. 😂

@MariaBalochPK کون واقعی اپنا تھا، اور کون صرف ضرورت کے وقت قریب تھا، یہ فرق اکثر وقت گزرنے کے بعد سمجھ آتا ہے۔ کچھ سبق کتابوں میں نہیں ملتے۔ زندگی انہیں رشتوں، رویوں اور تجربات کے ذریعے خود پڑھاتی ہے۔

@Altostrata Sleep isn't merely a “brain issue.” It affects the whole person: mood, hormones, metabolism, immune function and emotional regulation.

Sometimes the cranky person just needs sleep. 😴

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@Altostrata Bad sleep doesn't just make you tired. It can make you irritable, emotionally reactive, less patient and harder to be around.

@oyebajwey But calling it “the worst condition” can increase stigma. BPD is difficult, not hopeless. With appropriate treatment, many people improve substantially.

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@oyebajwey It is heartbreaking when someone is suffering from borderline personality disorder without understanding what is happening to them. The emotional pain can be intense, with impulsivity, unstable relationships and rapidly shifting emotions adding to distress.

@sibghat_hashmi Students who learn to question, investigate, analyze data n produce evidence early in their education are more likely to become innovators rather than just consumers of knowledge. That is how universities can help pakistan build stronger scientific future.

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@sibghat_hashmi Research should not be treated as a postgraduate skill in pakistan. It should become part of university education from Bachelor's level.

@jill_d35 @AllenFrancesMD Telling him actually, if it's being heard.

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@__bighappy__ He died by suicide that same evening.

The next morning, I was at his funeral, exactly 24 hours after our last meeting.

Medicine is a strange field.

Sometimes, despite our knowledge, vigilance and best efforts, the outcome can still be devastating.

[Talat Habib @talathabibdr]

@__bighappy__ Yes, that’s reality, harsh reality. I faced it too. A 30-yr-old navy officer, a friend whom I met after 10 yrs, came to me with a psychiatric illness n a self-inflicted wrist injury. I didn’t allow him to leave, but he "promised" he would return next day 4 psychiatric treatment
