  • Mind Your Mornings With Anna Chandy - Caregiving with Vineeta and Brinda

    The last few years has made us all conscious of the role of someone taking care of an unwell family member. I guess the pandemic set this in motion. We saw close friends

    and their parents taking up the role of a caregiver – sometimes for months. And we have personally seen their lives change. Their priorities change. So when Vineeta, a senior counsellor on the Anna Chandy team, told us she would like to talk about Caregiving, we were all ears. In this episode, we will chat with Vineeta Sood. She will walk us through the mindset and the long-term impact of caregiving.

  • Mind Your Mornings With Anna Chandy - Addiction with Sudha & Manoj
    I am Anovshka, your host for this season. And I am back with another episode of Mindyour Mornings. In the last episode we discussed addiction with Sudha. And that gave me a lot to think about. I started looking at my smoker friend differently. I tried tounderstand why my cousin prioritises her work over holidays with family. And I alsobegan to notice my own relationship with food, alcohol, work, coffee.We have a lot more to learn on addiction, and different types of addiction, to see whatthey really are. Since the last episode, we got a lot of requests to talk about some specific addictions. We have tried to include those in today’s episode.

  • Mind Your Mornings With Anna Chandy - Addiction with Sudha
    When we look at someone who can’t stop drinking regularly, who smokes, whogambles, or is obsessed with video games, someone who shops at the slightest sign of stress… how many of us have judged them? How many of us have looked at them and thought – why can’t they just quit/ stop/ control themselves? Or maybe you feel this way about something you do. The problem maybe addiction. And alcohol is just one of the things we can be addicted to. What drives addiction? Why are some people able to overcome it, while others struggle with willpower? How do I know if my ‘habit’ is an addiction? All this and more in today’s episode. Let’s understand addiction, uncover some truths, and bust some myths.

  • Mind Your Mornings With Anna Chandy - Borderline Personality Disorder

    Today let’s look at a personality disorder that is well-researched and defined. Borderline Personality Disorder falls under Cluster B, the emotional, dramatic and erratic cluster. It is not uncommon among the disorders.

    People with BPD suffer from emotional dysregulation with a high rate of attempted suicides. It is not always easy to diagnose a cluster B disorder. An individual can meet the full diagnostic of BPD and HPD, while also showing traits of NPD and APD. Sometimes, a person can also have a mixed personality disorder. They might have traits of all the 4, but not meet any one entirely. It takes a potent psychiatrist to make a clear diagnosis.

  • Mind Your Mornings With Anna Chandy - Personality Disorders

    In this season, I thought we could take the conversation a step further. Let’s talk about personality disorders. After a lot of research, experts have identified 10 types of disorders. And these are further grouped into three clusters – A, B and C.

    But before we get into it, I wanted to clarify the difference between personality traits and personality disorders. We all have personality traits that are relatively stable but can change over time and life experiences. Personality disorders usually exist from childhood or late adolescence. And show up in all areas of life.
