Introducing "Manaswa..."

Dear Friends....

I wish to share a few words with you all. I feel very proud and happy to introduce Manaswa. It is not just a blog but a platform to spread awareness about wellness of mind and issues of mental health. In our society, mental issues or psychiatric problems are still viewed as something to be hidden and not shared with anybody except doctors. With technological advances, life has become easier and faster but the psychological issues and mental illnesses are growing with 3G speed. People still go to general physicians and practitioners when someone from their family is mentally disturbed. They are then referred to a Psychiatrist. But unfortunately by that time, the problem deteriorates and becomes critical. Mental illness is curable with medicines as well as Psychotherapy. Psychiatrists treat with medicines while Clinical Psychologists conduct assessment using psychometric testing and accordingly counsel the client. This blog is an attempt to talk about emotional issues and find solutions to pave a way for effective mental well-being. This is my humble attempt at starting a movement of Mental Health Awareness....
So join Manaswa...and come together...come forward and share your thoughts, views and information.

Thanking You
