BLOOD DONATION CAMP

Rtn. Usha who was present through out the day, mentioned that it was not easy to encourage people for blood donation when most of them are in a hurry to go for their offices. Rotarctors used their skills to convince the office goers. At the end of the day almost 70-80 blood bottles were collected. Some of the salient points to know on the blood donation

RTN DR. HEMANGI ON MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT PSYCHIATRY AND PSYCHIATRIST



Common man has lot of misconception about Psychiatry, psychology. These have been instilled by movies by the way they portrait a patient as shabby, distinct appearance and behavior and unable to stay in a society. They showcase the patient being a dangerous person and a burden to society. Mental hospitals are also located away from the city Similar misconceptions are there about the psychiatrist where people feel they are able to read about a human. Also they don’t often talk concretely about treatment. So they avoid meeting or approaching a psychiatrist with their problem. Patients that see a Psychiatrist actually have an illness or imbalance that is causing a mental discrepancy. All these misconceptions, create a very different world of psychiatry, people being either skeptical or fearful. However now, there is a change in the situation, in all aspects. There is more acceptance and readiness to take guidance from counselor and Psychiatrist. From a treatment perspective also things are changing. Previously people used to resort to Puja’s / Amulets, black magic and in extreme cases resorting to boiling oil, tie them to bed-posts or even isolate them in a room or shock treatment. However now the prognosis have improved, and also the medications. Many more medications / drugs are under trial and are more effective. The success rate of treatment also has improved with early deductions, though the treatment period could vary. In some cases the treatment could be lifelong. Every patient is different, as are his or her needs. A good Psychiatrist will never force medications on their patient. Patients should have a treatment that is completely unique to them, and a practiced Psychiatrist will work with them to find that exact treatment they need. Though no definite reason can be given for rise of such mental stress in people, it could be the result of obsessions, competition, depressions, chemical imbalance. However early deduction and treatment can help them to lead a normal life.

Rtn. Dr. Dhaval is a Psychiatrist by profession and is new entrant in RCMM. Members were curious to know the subject in details. Even today people di hesitate going to Psychiatrist .
