The cornerstone of someone’s mental health is how they think, feel, and behave. Mental health specialists can help people with disorders like addiction, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety.
In our country plenty of legal orders interact with mental disorders in order to protect the interests of
mentally ill, society and the state.These legislations are enacted to protect the society from dangerous manifestations of mental illness. There are guidelines regarding restrain, admission and discharge, procedures of civil and criminal action with regard to mentally ill. But do these laws discuss about proper care and treatment? Are there provisions for post discharge care and rehabilitation?
The way people think, feel, and act is everything to mental health. Depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and addiction are just a few of the mental health conditions that mental health professionals or psychologist can assist with.
Daily living, relationships, and physical health can all be impacted by mental health.
Mental health includes a broad range of factors, from emotional and psychological well-being to the ability to handle stress and adapt to life's challenges. It's essential to acknowledge and address mental health concerns just as we would with physical health issues. Seeking help, support, and treatment when needed is crucial for individuals to lead happy and productive lives.
The stigma surrounding mental health issues is slowly decreasing, which is a positive step toward encouraging people to talk about their mental health and seek assistance without fear of judgment. Remember, taking care of your mental health is not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength and self-awareness. It's also essential to support others in their mental health journeys, as we all have a role to play in creating a more compassionate and understanding society.
Absolutely, mental health matters greatly. Mental health is a fundamental aspect of our overall well-being and quality of life. It affects how we think, feel, and act, and it plays a significant role in our ability to cope with stress, build and maintain healthy relationships, and make choices that lead to a fulfilling life.

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!
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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

Questions for clarification
Conclusion
4. Good mental health is when an individual can
think clearly, solve problems they face in life,
enjoy happy relationships and feel spiritually at
ease.
5. Mental illness is anything that affects a
person’s thoughts, emotions or
behaviour that results in:
a negative effect on the person or those
around him/her,
an obvious change in their personality,
friends or relatives feel that what is
happening to the person is strange and hard
to understand.
6. Why should we be interested in
mental illness? This is because;
Mental illness affects us all.
Mental illness is a great burden on
every country.
Mental illnesses are the top 4 in 10
disabling conditions in the world.
7. Most mental illnesses can be treated in
simple, cheap ways .
Most people with mental illnesses can be
stabilized.
People who know someone with mental
illness are often frightened or ashamed of
them.
It is very common.
8. Most mental illnesses are caused by
a chemical imbalance in the brain,
But we don’t always know what
causes the chemical imbalance.
9. A Bio-psycho-social model attempts to
consider a number of factors that might contribute to
or affect mental illness, in three main categories:
1.Biological factors (physiology and biochemistry,
and genetic inheritance)
2.Psychological factors (emotional experience,
interpersonal interactions and the person’s
upbringing)
3.Social factors (related to cultural background
and current life situation).
10. These factors may operate separately
or in combination, at different times in a
person’s life.
According to their timing in relation to the
illness, they can be said to;
a)predispose the person to the illness,
b)precipitate it or,
c)perpetuate it:
11. Predisposing factors exist long before onset of
illness.
Precipitating factors are stressors occurring
just before the appearance of symptoms, either
when illness is first experienced, or when it
relapses.
Perpetuating factors prevent or delay
resolution or improvement of symptoms.
Protective factors reduce a person’s
vulnerability to the illness.

Editor's Notes
EASE---Lessen pain or discomfort; alleviate
Mental illness: is a clinically diagnosable disorder that significantly interferes with an individual’s cognitive, emotional or social abilities. However, everybody can experience unusual thoughts, emotions or behaviour especially when sleeping, praying or when alone in the dark. For example, dreams can sometimes be more vivid and realistic than usual. Sometimes people experience strong spiritual feelings when praying or meditating. And occasionally people feel frightened when alone in the dark. It is important to remember that these experiences are not a sign of mental illness and are completely normal and are nothing to worry about. However, if these experiences had a negative effect on the person, resulted in a change in their personality and confused others, then this may be a sign of mental illness.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS – e.g., a person may be vulnerable to depressive illness, for example, due to genetics or how they were brought up or the socioeconomic conditions the family lives in. PRECIPITATING FACTORS —e.g., they are said to be responsible not necessarily for the illness but for its timing. STRESSOR-----any agent that causes stress (Difficulty that causes worry or emotional tension)
Trauma- Any physical damage to the body caused by violence, accident or fracture etc.
DDT--DichloroDiphenylTrichloroethane
Natural disasters are floods, earthquake, tsunami, drought, Famine, volcano etc. Artificial disasters are fire-outbreak, war, conflict, bush-fire,
