The term personality refers to enduring qualities of an individual that are shown in his ways of behaving in a wide variety of circumstances. It is the sum total of a person’s intellectual, emotional and volitional traits; and it is revealed by his appearance, behavior, habits and relationships with other people, which differentiate him as unique individual.

Psychological Illness and Crime Growing in Urban life by Dr.Mahboob Khan PhdHealthcare consultant
“I believe that -Weather it is MH 370 Co-Pilot or recent thane mass murderer these people have some sort of psychological illness in common and there is greater need to do psychological assessment of every one as a mandatory test”.Public opinion surveys suggest that many people think mental illness and violence go hand in hand. A 2012 national survey found, for example, that 60% of indians thought that people with schizophrenia were likely to act violently toward someone else, while 32% thought that people with major depression were likely to do so.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.

In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

2. “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease
or infirmity”.(WHO)
The WHO defines mental health as a state of well-being
in which each individual is able to realize his or her own
potential, cope with the normal stresses of life, work
productively, and make a contribution to the
community. Mental health provides people with the
capacity for rational thinking, communication skills,
learning, emotional growth, resilience, and self-esteem

MENTAL ILLNESS
3. INTRODUCTION TO MENTAL HEALTH AND ILLNESS
Mental Health
involves effective
functioning in daily
activities resulting in:
•Productive activities
(work, school, caregiving)
•Healthy relationships
•Ability to adapt to change
and cope with adversity
Mental Illness refers
collectively to all
diagnosable mental
disorders : health
conditions involving
•Significant changes in
thinking, emotion and/or
behavior
•Distress and/or problems
functioning in social,
work or family activities
APA,AUG18
4. Mental health is the foundation for emotions, thinking,
communication, learning, resilience and self-esteem. Mental
health is also key to relationships, personal and emotional well-
being and contributing to community or society.
Mental illness does not discriminate; it can affect anyone regardless
of your age, gender, geography, income, social status,
race/ethnicity, religion/spirituality, sexual orientation, background
or other aspect of cultural identity. While mental illness can occur
at any age, three-fourths of all mental illness begins by age 24.
Mental illnesses are health conditions involving changes in
emotion, thinking or behavior (or a combination of these). Mental
illnesses are associated with distress and/or problems functioning
in social, work or family activities.

5. Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional
and behavioral disorders.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who
specializes in mental health, including substance use
disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the
mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.
WHAT IS PSYCHIATRY?
6. Psychiatrists are
medical doctors who
are able to prescribe
medications, which
they do in conjunction
with providing
psychotherapy, though
medical and
pharmacological
interventions are often
their focus.
Though many
psychologists hold
doctorate degrees, they
are not medical
doctors, and most
cannot prescribe
medications. Rather,
they solely provide
psychotherapy, which
may involve cognitive
and behavioral
interventions.

use to write about
mental health are
very important,
and can help
reduce stigma
around mental
illness if carefully
chosen. Focus on
the person, not
the condition.
The basic
concept is that
the mental health
condition (or
physical or other
condition) is only
one aspect of a
person’s life, not
the defining
characteristic.

21. According to a study by the Lancet, suicide deaths
ranked first among all causes of death in women
aged 15-29 years in 26 of the 31 states, and in
women aged 15-39 years in 24 states in the country.
For instance, out of 936,000 doctors in India,
there are only roughly 4,500 psychiatrists to
serve a population of 1.3 billion.

22. India is currently home to a population of over one
billion citizens. A study conducted by the Word Health
Organization in 2015 shows that one in five Indians may
suffer from depression in their lifetime, equivalent to 200
million people.(WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM)
About 450 million people live with mental disorders that
are among the leading causes of ill-health and disability
worldwide (WHO’s World Health Report, 2001).
The World Health Organization (2018) states that every

world and could cost the
global economy up to $16
trillion between 2010 and
2030 if a collective failure to
respond is not addressed.
REPORTS
24. According to National Crime Records Bureau 2015, the entire mental health workforce,
comprising clinical psychiatrists,
psychologists, psychiatric social workers and psychiatric nurses, stands at 7,000, while the

In January 2020, the Indian Council for Medical Research had released data that one out of
every five Indians in suffering from a mental illness
In a recent survey conducted by the Indian Psychiatry Society, the sudden rise in those
suffering from mental illness is up to 20 per cent. According to the survey, at least one out of
every five Indians is suffering from mental illness.
This comes amid the coronavirus pandemic spreading across the world like a global disease
thereby affecting the lifestyle and economy of the world. The survey reveals that an average
increase of 15 per cent to 20 per cent in such patients has happened in just a week given the
crisis which is likely one of the causes of the increase in people will mental disorders.

Editor's Notes
RESILIENCE : ABILITY TO RECOVER FROM DIFFICULT TIMES
SELF ESTEEM: CONFIDENCE ON HIS OWN WORTH AND CAPACITY
Misunderstanding and stigma surrounding mental ill health are widespread. Despite the existence of effective treatments for mental disorders, there is a belief that they are untreatable or that people with mental disorders are difficult, not intelligent, or incapable of making decisions. This stigma can lead to abuse, rejection and isolation and exclude people from health care or support. Within the health system, people are too often treated in institutions which resemble human warehouses rather than places of healing.
Shortages of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, psychologists and social workers are among the main barriers to providing treatment and care in low- and middle-income countries. Low-income countries have 0.05 psychiatrists and 0.42 nurses per 100 000 people. The rate of psychiatrists in high income countries is 170 times greater and for nurses is 70 times greater.
