Mental illness is common and can affect anyone regardless of factors such as age, gender, race, or income. While many types of mental illness are known, such as depression, anxiety disorders, and bipolar disorder, there are also lesser known types like body dysmorphic disorder and dissociative disorder. Mental health assessments are used to identify mental health problems, determine if issues are mental or physical, and check for substance abuse. Assessments involve interviews, observations, medical exams, and verbal or written tests to evaluate how a person thinks, reasons, and remembers as well as how they function. Treatment options include medications, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and non-medical approaches like diet, exercise, and support groups

Depression
Background
Pathophysiology
• The monoamine theory of depression is that it results from a central deficit in the monoamine neurotransmitters serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine.
• Other reported physiological features include ↑cortisol and a blunted TSH response.
• However, there is no widely accepted and definitively proven biological model of depression.
Epidemiology
• Time course: for most it is an episodic illness, but for other it follows a more chronic course.
• Incidence: 5% annual risk, 20% lifetime risk.
Presentation
DSM and NICE criteria
These are based on DSM-4, though DSM-5 does not significantly differ.
Major depressive disorder is ≥2 weeks of low mood and/or anhedonia, and at least 4 symptoms out of:
• ↓Energy or fatigue.
• ↓Concentration
• ↓Weight/appetite.
• Disturbed sleep, which commonly includes early waking. Diurnal pattern to symptoms also seen, with symptoms often worse in the morning.
• Slowing of thought and movements (psychomotor slowing) or agitation.
• Ideas of worthlessness or guilt.
• Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
• All but the last 2 are considered 'biological' symptoms.
Understanding Major Depression
Major depression (MD) is an illness that affects mood, body, and thoughts. It impacts sleep, appetite, feelings of self-worth, and how one thinks. MD cannot be willed away and without treatment, symptoms can last for weeks, months or years. Treatment such as antidepressants and psychotherapy can help most people with MD. Physical and genetic factors along with life stressors can contribute to the development of MD.

It is commonly seen in children who experience depressed mood, irritability, impaired concentration and sleep issues after stressful events. Treatment involves psychotherapy and sometimes medication to alleviate symptoms. Prevention focuses on building coping skills, conflict resolution training and supportive relationships.
The Symptoms of Dysthymia
Dr. Grace Graham sees patients struggling with mood disorders like dysthymia, or chronic low-grade depression. Dysthymia is considered less severe than major depression but still negatively impacts quality of life, as its symptoms like feelings of ongoing sadness, lack of enjoyment in activities, sleep issues, low energy, unreasonable guilt, and poor self-esteem can last for years and are interspersed with instances of more severe major depression. Seeing a mental health professional is recommended for those concerned they may have dysthymia.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
ADHD also known as hyperkinetic disorder is a common childhood disorder among school aged children that is characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity resulting in an underachievement in the school or work performance.
Bipolar disorder management
Bipolar disorder causes extreme shifts in mood from mania to depression. It is a chronic illness often diagnosed in adolescence that has high rates of suicide. While the causes are unknown, genetic and environmental factors likely contribute. Diagnosis involves meeting DSM-5 criteria for manic or hypomanic episodes. Treatment includes medication, psychotherapy, and lifestyle changes. Lithium and anticonvulsants are commonly used to stabilize moods, while antidepressants may be used for depression but carry risk for inducing mania. Long-term management focuses on preventing recurrences through medication adherence and monitoring for risky behaviors.

According to the TechSci Research report titled "India Home Healthcare Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2029," the India home healthcare market is anticipated to grow at an impressive rate during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the rising demand for managing health issues such as chronic diseases, post-operative care, elderly care, palliative care, and mental health. The growing preference for personalized healthcare among people is also a significant driver. Additionally, rapid advancements in science and technology, increasing healthcare costs, changes in food laws affecting label and product claims, a burgeoning aging population, and a rising interest in attaining wellness through diet are expected to escalate the growth of the India home healthcare market in the coming years.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptx
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.
We look into the evolution of health informatics and its applications in the healthcare industry.
HIMMS TIGER resources are available to assist Health Informatics education.
Indian Health universities, IT Education institutions, and the healthcare industry must proactively collaborate to start health informatics courses on a big scale. An advocacy push from various stakeholders is also needed for this goal.
