Mental Health Disorders. Common mental health disorders include mood disorders ( Depression and bipolar mood disorder), psychotic disorders (Schizophrenia and schizophreniform), drug and substance use disorders , developmental disorders like ADHD, Autism and Neurological diseases like Epilepsy which may precipitate psychotic disorders.
Early detection of mental illnesses ensures they don't advance and are managed in the right way. The document outlines some ways of coping with the mental health conditions.
Mental health includes our emotional ,psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

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.
Maintaining a positive mental health and treating any mental health conditions is crucial to stabilizing constructive behaviors, emotions, and thoughts. Focusing on mental health care can increase productivity, enhance our self-image, and improve relationships.

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.

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!

2. DEFINITION OF MENTAL HEALTH Mental Health can be defined as a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his own abilities and limits, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively, and is able to make a contribution to his community. Mental health requires a balance between the body, mind, spirit and the environment in which a person lives.
3. DEFINITION OF MENTAL ILLNESS Mental illness is characterized by alterations in thinking, emotions or behaviour associated with personal distress and/or impaired functioning. Like other illnesses, mental illnesses are the result of complex interactions between biological, psychological and social factors. Generally a thought, emotion or behaviour is considered abnormal and is suggestive of mental illness when it occurs without an understandable reason, is exaggerated, lasts for a long time and causes problems for the individual or others.
4. TWO CHARACTERISTICS OF MENTAL ILLNESS: Recurrent changes in one’s thinking, feeling, memory, perceptions and judgment resulting in abnormalities in talk and behaviour. The changes in behaviour and the consequent distress cause disturbances in day-to-day activities, work efficiency, and relationships with others
5. COMMON SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL ILLNESS Changes in bodily function Sleep: The patient may have difficulty sleeping. He may have trouble falling asleep, or staying asleep or may awaken early in the morning. Some depressed people may sleep excessively.
6. Appetite: The patient may have a poor appetite and eat less than usual or he may eat more than usual.. Weight: Usually, the patient will lose weight because of poor appetite. However, some patients may gain weight due to excessive eating or because of side effects of psychotropic drugs.
7. Bowel and bladder functions: Some patients may pass urine more frequently than usual (anxiety) or have loose motions (anxiety). Some others may have constipation (depression or side effect of psychotropic drugs). Sexual desire and activity: Some patients may lose interest in sex. Some may complain of impotence. Some complain of pain during intercourse. Some become hyper-sexual (Mania).
8. Changes in mental functions Appearance: Patients may neglect their personal hygiene and grooming or dress excessively or inappropriately Behaviour: The patient may behave bizarrely or in a manner not consistent with his usual behaviour. He may be restless and wander aimlessly or slow down and withdraw completely. Speech: The patient may talk excessively and irrelevantly or he may utter only a few words or not speak at all.
9. Emotions (feelings):sadness or happiness or emotions inappropriate to the situation. No emotion, labile emotion Perception: The patient’s perception can be disturbed. hallucinations Thinking: The patient’s thinking process can be disturbed. E.g.: delusions, delusions of control, thought broadcasting
10. Changes in cognitive Functioning: Level of Consciousness: Memory: Attention and concentration:
12. Changes in personal hygiene, social activities and functioning Personal: Patients may neglect their bodily needs and personal hygiene. They may not eat regularly, wash their clothes or comb their hair. They may refuse to bathe or change their clothes. At times, they may even soil their clothes or bed. Social: Patients may behave strangely with family, friends or other people. They may behave inappropriately in social situations. They may become violent or withdraw completely from people. Functioning: Patients may not be able to attend to usual work responsibilities. Assignments may not be submitted or may be poorly executed.
13. CAUSES OF MENTAL ILLNESS Genetic: Physical changes in the brain: changes in brain structure or function, infection, trauma, tumour, uncontrolled seizures or degenerative diseases Physiological changes in brain: chronic alcoholism, nutritional deficiencies and end stage organ failure child birth or menopause
14. Environmental factors: Overcrowding, lack of recreational facilities, lack of social support, and exposure to extreme stressors such as war, terrorism, and manmade or natural disasters Childhood experiences: Lack of parental love, care, and guidance during childhood and traumatic psychological experiences in early life Home atmosphere: Alcohol abuse, frequent quarrels and violence among family members
15. Social factors: Poverty, unemployment, feelings of insecurity, lack of or competition for limited opportunities, frustrations, drug abuse, and alcoholism Individual factors: Diseases like diabetes, cancer, heart diseases and AIDS Chronic illness: diabetes, cancer, heart diseases and AIDS
16. Individual factors: Poor self image, lack of confidence, lack of skills to cope with or resolve conflicts in life, a wide gap between ambition and actual achievement, and guilt can cause mental illness.
Editor's Notes
1. Consciousness is usually retained in mental illnesses (except delirium) unless there is other pathology in the brain. 2. Registration of new information can be affected as the patient is not able to pay attention or concentrate on a particular task at hand. On the other hand, there can be repeated ruminations of past memory.3. Patients will not be able to pay attention or concentrate on specific tasks, or they can become obsessed with particular issues or ideas.
Orientation is usually not lost (except in delirium and dementia) unless the patient has been chronically ill and isolated himself from people for a long period of time.Intelligence is usually not affected unless the patient has been chronically ill and not functioning. Most severely mentally ill patients lose their insight and this is one reason why they do not accept treatment. Judgement can also be impaired due to the influence of hallucination and delusion. However, many mentally ill individuals have insight into their illnesses and make good judgements. Good insight is a good prognostic feature. If a person with insight seeks help it is easier to help him.
