June-17-2012 VISAKHAPATNAM : Maharshi Foundation will conduct a free awareness cum medical camp on mental illnesses at Masjid junction near Jagadamba from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday.
The prevalence of mental illnesses is on the rise with the increase in stress and strain in present day life, according to a Professor of Psychiatry from Andhra Medical College N.N. Raju. Anxiety, depression, suspiciousness, doubts over character of the spouse, abnormal behaviour, suicides, homicides, antisocial activities, addiction to alcohol and drugs, behavioural problems in children and inexplicable physical symptoms are all indication of a disturbed mind. The biggest hurdle in keeping the abnormality in check is lack of awareness among the people. Experts will be available at the camp to give free advice and suggestions to the care givers and family members on how to recognise the mental abnormality early and the steps that need to be taken and how to handle people with psychological problems. Further details can be had on phone no. 2724347. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/article3538683.ece -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mental Health Advocacy (News 'N Views) India" group.
