Dissociative convulsion is a mental illness or emergency psychiatric disorder that manifests symptoms like uncontrolled movement and sensation in the body also known as dissociative fits.
The slide explains how dissociative fits differ from epileptic fits and what should be done for management. The table of content includes an introduction, epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, clinical manifestation, differential diagnosis, and emergency nursing management.
Mental health is about enhancing competencies of individuals and communities and enabling them to achieve their self-determined goals. Mental health should be a concern for all of us, rather than only for those who suffer from a mental disorder. Mental health problems affect society as a whole, and not just a small, isolated segment. They are therefore a major challenge to global development. This presentation focuses on the importance of mental health, the common substance abuse and their influence on mental health.
According to the World Health Organization, mental health is defined as “a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stress of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”

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.

effect on every aspect of a
person’s life, including
thinking, feeling, mood, and
outlook and such areas of
external activity as family
and marital life, sexual
activity, work, recreation,
and management of material

7. Mental Illness
•Mental illnesses are
common to all countries and
cause immense suffering.
•People with these disorders
are often subjected to social
isolation, poor quality of life
and increased mortality.
8. Magnitude
•One in four patients
visiting a health service
has at least one mental,
neurological or
behavioural disorder but
most of these disorders
are neither diagnosed nor
treated.
9. Impact
• Mental illnesses affect and are
affected by chronic conditions
such as cancer, heart and
cardiovascular diseases, diabetes
and HIV/AIDS
• Untreated, they bring about
unhealthy behaviour, non-
compliance with prescribed
medical regimens, diminished
immune functioning, and poor
prognosis.
11. Present Scenario
• Most middle and low-income
countries devote less than 1% of
their health expenditure to
mental health.
• Consequently mental health
policies, legislation, community
care facilities, and treatments for
people with mental illness are
not given the priority they
deserve.
12. Impact
• Today, 450 million people
suffer from a mental or
behavioural disorder
• This growing burden amounts
to a huge cost in terms of
human misery, disability &
economic loss
15. Burden of mental disorders

destroy family life as well as
the life of the ill person.
19. Burden of Disease
• An estimated 39% of all Disability
Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) in low
and middle income countries were
attributable to non-communicable
diseases
• Neuropsychiatric conditions account
for 10% of the burden from NCD
• Unipolar major depression was the
4th leading cause of DALYs both in
high & middle income economies
20. Determinants of mental
disorders
Factors that determine the
prevalence, onset & course of
mental disorders include:
• Social & economic factors
• Demographic factors (sex, age)
• Serious threats such as conflicts
& disasters
• The presence of major physical
disease
• The family environment
22. Determinants of mental disorders

life act as stressors and,
coming in quick
succession, predispose the
individual to mental
disorders
26. Psychopathology
• Systematic study of the
significant causes, processes &
symptomatic manifestations of
mental disorders
• The meticulous study,
observation, and enquiry that
characterize the discipline of
psychopathology are in turn the
basis for the practice of
psychiatry

mental disorders

prevention

drugs to correct biochemical
imbalances in the brain or

person in the context of a therapeutic
interpersonal relationship between
them

changing or modifying observable
pathological behaviors by the use of
conditioning etc
29. Neurosciences
• The adult brain is made up of
about 100 billion neurons and
1000 billion neuroglia
• Weight: 1.3 kgs
• Parts: brain stem, cerebellum,
diencephalons (thalamus &
hypothalamus), cerebrum
• Brain stem is continuous with
Spinal Chord & consists of
medulla oblongata, pons &
midbrain

of behavioural, psychological, &
biomedical sciences knowledge
relevant to the understanding of
health & illness
• Physical & mental health
mutually influence each other
over a period of time
31. Health Behaviour

physiology, while physiological
functioning can influence health

& mental health, in which the

time

have a major impact on health

responsibility associated with
being wives, mothers and
