 Namaste. My name is Dr. Ravindra Agrawal and I am a psychiatrist at Manipal Hospital Goa. On the occasion of World Mental Health Day, I would like to greet you all. This year's Mental Health Day theme is mental health for all, greater access, greater investment. And this is a very apt theme, basically it implies that mental health is something which is needed by all and not only for those who have any mental illness. We all in this time of COVID pandemic need more help. In many ways, the COVID pandemic has become a mental health pandemic as well. All of us are stressed. We are all carrying an amount of distress which we never did before. Be it economic uncertainty or be it loss of traditional coping mechanisms, we all are suffering a bit. But we have always bounced back. We are all fighters and humanity has seen so many disasters and has always survived and so will we. I would like to share with you some tips which would help us become resilient. So my tips are one, enjoy something everyday or do something which makes you feel good. Any pleasurable activity, it could be listening to your favorite song, eating something which you like or relaxing. Two, do something which makes you feel get a sense of achievement, makes you feel that you have spent the day doing something or an activity which is added quality to your life. It could be as good as completing a pending task, cleaning your cupboard, cleaning your desk, calling someone whom you have not called for a long time. Three, connect, connect with friends and families. In many situations you may not be able to physically meet them but we all have access to phone, try and speak to someone, do a video call or if inside the house sit down and play some board games, spend some time with your family members, enjoy them, give them your company and you enjoy their company. Next and the important one, point number four, avoid information overload. Too much of WhatsApp and the content which is in the news which is so distressing, you should avoid them because it adds to the anxiety. If you feel overwhelmed, if you feel that you are getting anxious, talk to someone. Don't suffer in silence, talk to your family member or a friend and let them know that you are finding things a little difficult to handle. And you can always talk to professionals, we at Manipal Hospital Goa are always here to help you. Don't suffer in silence, reach out. Namaste.
