DR LAVANYA SESHASAYEE TALKS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA AND HEALING FROM THE SAME ON SUCHITA BHHATIA'S SOS SHOW:



Hey folks,

Here is Dr Lavanya Seshasayee’s interview on how one can be completely healed of Schizophrenia for the SOS show by Suchita Bhhatia: Do listen to it and give us feedback on the same!!!

One small correction: I’ve said in one part of this podcast show ‘Not taking medicines for a problem like this is a recipe for disaster but taking the right dosage and type of medicine is a recipe for another disaster’ when what I wanted to say was ‘Not taking medicines for a problem like this is a recipe for disaster but NOT taking the right dosage and type of medicine is a recipe for another disaster.’ Plus, I’ve rightly said we cannot have a one-size-fits-all approach. Different people are benefitted from different methods of healing (medical or non-medical or a combination of both) and they should have the right to choose.

Enjoy yourselves folks even as you listen to this radical perspective on healing from Schizophrenia!!!

Hey guys ‘what is self-advocacy in mental health and who is a self-advocate?’ A self-advocate in mental health is someone who advocates for themselves and encourages others to come out of their problems and do the same by sharing their personal story of how they conquered their mental health issue and developed a newly empowered voice. The objective of self-advocacy is to exercise the right to fre ely express our views, to promote self-determination, and protect dignity in the field of mental health where both in the institutional system of psychiatry and in the informal systems of family and community all these rights are at permanent risk of being ignored. Self-advocacy is rather a process than an act, and negotiations play a central role in the process. It is important to understand why self-advocacy is needed. And why speaking on behalf of a relative or client is different from the user speaking up for themselves. You own your story and you know what led to your recovery much bette...

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 languag...

WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI??? Many would ponder over this question today!! Krishna is Devaki and Vasudeva’s son and his birthday is celebrated by Hindus as Janmashtami, particularly those of Gaudiya Vaishnavism t radition as he is considered the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Janmashtami is celebrated when Krishna is believed to have been born according to Hindu tradition, which is in Mathura at midnight on the eighth day of Bhadrapada month (overlaps with August and 3 September in the Gregorian calendar) Krishna is born in an area of chaos. 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...
