So many changes are happening automatically within body and mind. Tapping the right sense and moment makes the difference in life.<br \/>\nWhile speaking about Mind \u2013 Body connection the most prevailing thing that strikes the cord is mental challenges. This reminds me of one of my visit to the psychiatric centre. An observation for few hours in the centre has changed the perception on mental wealth. It reminds me that absence of mental illness doesn\u2019t mean the presence of mental wellness.<br \/>\nThe patient\u2019s behavior and visitor\u2019s interaction are very much noticeable in the centre. None of them worried or cared about other people\u2019s presence or what they will think about us. They are accepting each other with their current state and moving on their own paths. The patients were showing restless behaviors, talking so much, asking repetitive questions, screaming on top of their voice, few getting violent and doing as per their wish. None of the visitors were disturbed by their behavior. They were accommodating and helping them with a smile.<br \/>\nMost of the disturbed persons are adolescents and adults. That hardens the feeling as that was not the place for them. The voice of the visitors equally disturbed the mind. They felt very bad on themselves for not attending to their children\u2019s mental need on time. We have ignored their words when they said am not feeling good, depressed or stressed, unable to focus on studies, peer pressure, change in behaviors, confused mind and disturbed thoughts.<br \/>\nWhen they have asked for professional help, we blindly rejected their request as we were not able to take it. We felt he will be ok in sometime or matter of acceptance or change of time. It\u2019s getting worse day by day but because of our stigma in visiting psychologist we postponed it and trying to replace them with materialistic things. It did work for few hours or days only. Eventually, we didn\u2019t address their core problems. We ignored their emotional needs. That\u2019s the reason we landed in the psychiatric centre. A message came out very loudly from them is \u201cPrevention is better than cure\u201d. It\u2019s wise to accept our children with mental disturbance and acknowledge their pain. Early intervention with a professional will help them in addressing the unresolved issues and guidance for future. It is advisable to take the first step in acknowledging their emotional agony or pain and address it on time. This will help them in living a more meaningful life.<br \/>\nIndividual need to focus on BMI ie. Body \u2013 Mind Index for proper functioning of both physiological and psychological aspects. Mind care is health care.<br \/>\n&#8212;Chellam Narendiran<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mind functions amazingly. It designs its function based on user ability.
