Counseling involves helping clients understand themselves better and make positive changes in their lives. It is both an art and a science - counselors are creative in how they relate to clients, but also follow an objective, evidence-based process. The goals of counseling include empowering clients' self-management, presenting options to solve problems, and teaching life skills. Counseling addresses a wide range of personal, social, emotional, psychological, and family concerns through facilitating growth and preventing issues. Effective counseling is non-judgmental and helps clients realize their potential through responsibility and decision-making.

Indian society has an broad diversity with varying opinions and mindsets. But all together in any circumstances Guidance and Counseling plays the vital role to uplift self and the community as a whole. Action speaks more than words, Experience is the golden treasure of knowledge and wisdom each individual has as instinct, which performs as the life philosophy of that character. This philosophy provides the essential knowledge and lessons indulging into guidelines and lessons for life which we called as 'Guidance and Counseling'. Thus directly or indirectly we go through the guidance and counseling experiences throughout our lives.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

3. Objectives:
Define counseling.
Discuss the application of counseling as a discipline of art and
as a discipline of science.
Enumerate and discuss the goals, nature, and scope of
counseling.
4. There are misconceptions as regards not only to mental
health services, but also those who seek counseling.
These misconceptions include the following:
1. A person seeing a counselor, a psychologist,
a psychiatrist, or any mental health practitioner
has a mental illness.
*Note, though, that a person should be able
to freely consult any mental health practitioner
and share his or her concerns so that he or she
can deal with them effectively.
5. 2. Counseling means giving advice
The opposite is actually true: professional
counselors are trained to avoid giving advice.
When a counselor gives advice, the client is kept
from gaining a better position to understand,
analyze, and solve his or her problem. Instead of
giving advice, the primary goal of the counselor is
to assist the client to identify the factors that
contribute to his or her problem and address
them accordingly.
6. 3. Counseling is part of the discipline board.
Students who have violated the school’s code of discipline are
referred to the counselor. However, this does not mean that the
counselor’s role is to reprimand and discipline. In this situation,
the counselor provides the following assistance to the student
concerned.
a. Facilitate an understanding of the factors that caused him or
her to disobey school rules and regulations
b. Reorient the student on school policies
c. Recommend seminars or workshops aimed to impart the
characterization of the schools values
d. Provide psychological support should the student’s action
merit dismissal
7. 4. A counselor is a problem-solver.
Counselors do not dispense easy solutions to
problems. In fact, counseling works best through
collaboration with the client. A counselor is a
facilitator who guides you toward possible
solution t o resolve your dilemma. However, only
when the counselor know and understands the
entire situation could he or she best help the
client. Hence, through an honest, transparent, and
goal-oriented discussion between the counselor
and the client, the counselor is able to facilitate
realizations of the advantages and disadvantages
of identified solutions to a dilemma.
8. The Art and Science of Counseling
RA 9258, Guidance and Counseling Act of 2004
Guidance and counseling is defined by the law as
“the profession that involves the use of an integrated
approach to the development of a well-functioning

her potential to the fullest and plan his or her present

interest, and needs.”
9. Counseling is an active process between the counselor and client,
which aims to assist the clients to better understand themselves and
strive for changes to improve their lives 'circumstances.

how he or she can reach and relate with his or her client.
