Personality disorders are often ignored because of poor understanding about it. There are many personality disorders like Anxious avoidant personality disorder, Obsessive compulsive personality disorder, Narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder etc. If the traits are identified early in life then with psychotherapy dysfunction can be minimised and patients develop good coping

“World Su***de Prevention Day” @ Medanta

As a psychiatrist, I strongly believe that everyone should be equipped with the knowledge and skills to respond to someone experiencing a suicidal crisis. Su***de prevention is not only the responsibility of mental health professionals—it is something we can all contribute to.

By recognising warning signs, responding with empathy, and intervening early, we can potentially save lives. Sometimes, the right conversation at the right time can make all the difference.

At Medanta, we took a step towards this by initiating capacity building for our hospital staff, equipping them to recognise and respond to suicidal crises and contribute towards su***de prevention among employees.

We also conducted a workshop on “Psychotherapeutic Interventions in Suicidal Crises” for school counsellors, psychologists, and mental health trainees, focusing on strengthening their skills to better understand and manage suicidality among students and clients.

Because su***de prevention begins with awareness, preparedness, and the courage to act.

💛 Let’s change the narrative.
Let’s create hope through action.

It’s painful to see young kids getting harshly beaten in a peaceful protest and main media is still silent.
Competitive exams are not jokes. It decides the future of a child.
As a psychiatrist, I feel the pain of all these students but the option is not giving up life. Seek help because your life is very important and one exam can’t decide about your life trajectory
Seek Help
Support each other
Survive

Balance in life means focusing on controllable factors, acceptance of problems in life, ways of solving a problem, regularly following relaxation activities rather than avoiding problems, overthinking about it, false optimistic attitude, poor acceptance of stressors
