World Science Day for Peace & Development



Hey folks,

Today is World Science Day for peace and development!!! I am on this day compelled to discuss what constitutes science in Mental Health – a discipline I specialize in!!! Something can be called scientific only when multiple methods of experimentation with it yield the same results!! So much for outdated methodologies and terminologies and symptom inventories that come nowhere close to the lived experiences people have with mental health!!! And so much for overly medicalized   explanations pertaining to faulty genes and hormones that don’t honour the lived experiences perspectives pertaining to social paradigms!!! O yes, we need a lot more research from the perspectives based on client-led and user-led paradigms of living a healthy life!!! And the psychiatric survivors can tell us all of what shouldn’t be done while treating clients!!!

It's a time when persecution was rampant, freedoms were denied, evil was everywhere, and when there was a threat to his life by his uncle King Kansa. Immediately following the birth at Mathura, his father Vasudeva takes Krishna across the Yamuna, to foster pa

Recovery Model Versus An Explicitly Medico-Psychological Model

Image
Shall we take a look at how a recovery model operates viz a traditional medico- a psychological approach to dealing with mental health issues in clients? If people are responsible for their own lives, then supporting this process means avoiding the imposition of clinical meanings and assumptions about what matters and instead of offering support that is consistent with the person’s values as they  work towards their life goals. It is not the job of mental health professionals to fix people during counseling or lead them to recovery. The primary job is to support people to develop and use self-management skills in their own life. WE SHOULD ALL KNOW SOME THINGS ABOUT RECOVERY. What are they? Personal recovery is as important or more important than clinical recovery. We should know that many people with mental illness do experience personal recovery. There are many ways in which mental health services and workers can support recovery. Stigma can be a barrier to recovery and so language ma
