The document discusses various classification systems for mental disorders including ICD-10, DSM-IV, and Indian classifications. ICD-10 is issued by WHO and codes disorders from F00 to F99. DSM-IV is published by the American Psychiatric Association. Indian classifications were proposed by various Indian psychiatrists. The document also reviews theories of personality development including Freud's psychosexual stages, Erikson's psychosocial stages, and behavioral theories. It discusses factors influencing personality formation and defence mechanisms.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

37. DEFINITION
“The individual has mental capacities or devices for
protecting himself against psychological dangers and
distress.” -Bhatia and Craig
OR
An intrapsychic process which provides relief from conflict
and anxiety, operates unconsciously.
- Ann J Zwemer
38. Characteristics of defence mechanisms
•Used by almost all individuals in the process of adjustment,
exhibited in the everyday behaviour of normal people.
•The same individual may use varied mechanisms
simultaneously, as per his need and its pattern of use depends
on one’s own ability.
•Defence mechanism will be used at all levels of the mind either
consciously or unconsciously.
39. CONTI…
•It reduces anxiety, fear, tension, frustration and emotional
distress.
•The individual will feel secure when adjustment mechanisms
are in use.
•If one uses defence mechanism within limits, it will increase
self-satisfaction.
•Promotes individual functioning and development, satisfies
inner motives.
•Maintains balance and moulds the personality of an individual.
40. CONTI…
Defence mechanisms are healthy only when In
frequent use
Protects self-esteem against psychological dangers
Forms acceptable behaviour
Able to change positively the external environment
Modifies and reaches felt needs
41. CONTI…
Defence mechanisms are unhealthy only when Unable to modify
abnormal behaviour
Away from reality
If it interferes with maintenance of self image
Develops inferiority feelings, insecurity and lacks self confidence
43. CONVERSION/SYMBOLIZATION
Emotional tensions will be relieved by changing its
intensity into physical symptoms.
E.g. a student awakens with a migraine headache the
morning of a final examination and feels too ill to take
the test
44. Compensation
Consciously covering up for a weakness by over
emphasizing or making up a desirable trait.
Compensation is a process of psychologically
counterbalancing perceived weaknesses by emphasizing
strength in other areas.
Ex. A physically handicapped boy is unable to participate
in football, so he compensates by becoming a great scholar.
45. Denial
Refusing to acknowledge the existence of a real situation or the
feelings associated with it.
Many people use denial in their everyday lives to avoid dealing
with painful feelings or areas of their life they don’t wish to admit.
Ex. Certain individuals do not accept the death of beloved ones.
A woman drinks alcohol every day and cannot stop, failing to
acknowledge that she has a problem.
If denial used excessively, it may lead to severe difficulties
related to health and lifestyles
46. Displacement
Unconsciously discharging pent-up feelings to a less
threatening object.
Ex. A client is angry at his doctor, does not express
it, but becomes verbally abusive with the nurse.
A husband comes home after a bad day at work and
yells at his wife
47. Fantasy or Day dreaming
Gratifying frustrated desires by imaginary
achievement
It is a means of tension reduction and helps the
individual in deeper part part of imaginative
thinking, planning, achievements, wishful
thinking and satisfaction.
48. Identification
An attempt to increase self worth by acquiring
certain attributes and characteristics of an
individual one admires
Ex. A teenaged boy who required lengthy
rehabilitation after an accident decides to become
a physical therapist as a result of his experiences.
49. Introjections
Integrating the beliefs and values of another
individual into one’s own ego structure Children
integrate their parents’ value system into the
process of conscience formation.
Ex. A child says to friend, “Don’t cheat. It’s
wrong.”
51. Projection
Unconsciously (or consciously) blaming someone else
for one’s difficulties
Ex. A student who has cheated in an examination may
satisfy herself by saying that others too have cheated.
A surgeon whose patient does not respond as well as
anticipated may blame the theatre nurse who helped the
doctor at the same time of operation.
52. Regression
Unconscious return to an earlier and more comfortable
developmental level
There may be regression to the stage where there was previous
fixation
E.g. an adult throws a temper tantrum when he does not get his
own way
Umar pachpan ki, Akal bachpan ki
53. Rationalization
Attempting to make excuses or formulate logical reasons to justify
unacceptable feelings or behaviors
The sour grapes mechanism: Person insist that things we
cannot achieve are not worth having.
Ex. A student who has failed in an examination may complain that
the hostel atmosphere is not favourable and has resulted in his failure
The sweet lemon mechanism: In this person overrates what
happen to him.
Ex. A person who lives in a small house because of limited financial
resources , may say that they are much more comfortable.
54. Reaction Formation
Replacing unacceptable feelings with their exact opposites
Ex. Jane hates nursing. She attended nursing school to please
her parents. During career day, she speaks to prospective
students about the excellence of nursing as a career.
A woman who is very angry with her boss and would like to
quit her job may instead be overly kind and generous toward her
boss and express a desire to keep working there forever.
56. Suppression
The voluntary blocking of unpleasant feelings and
experiences from one’s awareness
Ex. Shreya says, “I don’t want to think about that
now. I’ll think about that tomorrow.”
57. Sublimation
Rechanneling of drives or impulses that are personally
or socially unacceptable into activities that are
constructive
Ex. A woman who is unable to have children may
engage herself in working with children.
A mother whose son was killed by a drunk driver
channels her anger and energy into being the president of
the local chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers
58. Undoing
Undoing is the attempt to take back an unconscious behavior or
thought that is unacceptable or hurtful.
By “undoing” the previous action, the person is attempting to
counteract the damage done by the original comment, hoping the
two will balance one another out.
EX. After realizing you just insulted your significant other
unintentionally, you might spend then next hour praising their
beauty, charm and intellect.
60. ADAPTATION
•Adaptation affects three important areas: health,
psychological well-being and social functioning.
•A period of stress may compromise any or all of these
areas.
•If a person copes successfully with stress, he returns to a
previous level of adaptation.
•Successful coping results in an improvement in health,
well being and social functioning.
61. MALADAPTATION
•Maladaptation in any one area can negatively affect others.
•The behaviour is considered to be maladaptive when it is age
inappropriate and interferes with adaptive functioning.
•Factors that influence the adaptive functioning are adequate
perceptions of the situation, adequate social support and adequate
coping.
•Adaptive functioning leads to growth, learning and goal
achievement.
•Maladaptive behaviour prevents and interferes with mastery of the
environment.
62. STRESS
“It can be defined as the normal response of the body and mind
to an abnormal situation .”
- stuart (2006)
Two types of stress: eustress- positive
distress- negative
STRESSOR
A stressor is any person or situation that produces anxiety
responses.
63. CRISIS
Crisis is a turning point in an individual’s life that produces
an overwhelming emotional response. Individuals
experience a crisis when confront some life circumstances
or stressor that they cannot effectively manage through
use of their customary coping skills.
DISASTER
Disaster is defined by the WHO as a severe disruption,
ecological and psychosocial which greatly exceeds the
coping capacity of the affected community.
64. Caplan identified the following stages of crisis:
The person is exposed to a stressor, experiences anxiety,
and tries to cope in a customary fashion.
Anxiety increases when customary coping skills are
ineffective.
The person makes all possible efforts to deal with the
stressor, including attempts at new methods of coping
When coping attempts fail the person experiences
disequilibrium and significant distress.
65. Conti…
The most essential element of psychiatric mental
health intervention during a crisis or disaster is the –
Ability of the nurse to provide emotional support
while assessing the individual’s emotional and
physical needs and enlisting his or her co-operation.
