Many a time in our lives, we get some triggers and start walking on to the memory lane or visualize an image of the future and, by the time we are back to the present, we're exhausted and irritated having lost our precious time without gaining anything.  

This phenomenon can be characterized as overthinking.  

Anxiety and thinking is a natural process and they are good till an extent. But, if we keep thinking about the things that we don't have any control over, we end up losing our time, energy, and everything important around us that needs our attention.  

In today's episode, we are discussing overcoming anxiety and overthinking with Psychiatrist Dr. Sujay Prabhugaonkar from Mumbai.  

We hope you like the episode.

Friends,   

For almost a year and a half, we are facing something that we had not even imagined in the wildest of our dreams.   

We lost so many people around us, huge losses to the economy (I'm not talking of what looks like on the stock exchanges, real life is in contrast to that), job loss, strained relationships, etc. And, naturally, it has impacted our mental health to a large extent.  

One of the critical factors about the stress around us is media reporting.  There is no parameter to gauge all these things but the impact is there for sure.  

Today, we are talking to Dr. Soumitra Pathare who is a renowned Psychiatrist and works for the policies and laws related to mental health.  I'm sure his insights will enlighten us.

Childhood is something that NO-ONE forgets. It's very crucial to build it the right way and we all do our best to make it memorable for our children.

But, sometimes there are invisible obstacles in that journey like learning issues, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), even depression to some extent that need to be identified early and treated with the help of therapy or medication.

Today's episode discusses about common phenomena, general issues related to child's mental health and a Senior Child Psychologist - Prachi Shrivastava from Delhi addresses our queries.

We're sure this episode will bring a lot of clarity related to child's mental health.

We'll see you soon. Till then, take care and stay safe!

'People who die by suicide are weak' This is what I used to think until I chose to take my life along with my wife. That incidence changed my life forever and we're never the same again.

There are a lot of myths and perceptions about suicide. This is one aspect of our lives that no one even wants to read or talk about but, it is a harsh reality. Did you know, India is the world capital of suicide as per several reports? 

We always think it is for someone else till someone known to us takes this drastic step.

Why people chose to die by suicide? What goes on in their minds when they're considering it? Why it is necessary to talk about this "uncomfortable" topic? How do we identify someone "suicidal" amongst us and How can we save someone from suicide?

All these questions are answered in this episode. 

Dr. Santosh Bangar, an eminent Psychiatrist from Mumbai, answers them all.

We hope this helps!

See you soon.
