Social media has made mental health a more visible part of public conversation, but that does not necessarily mean more people are seeking professional help.

00:00The title of the session that we have given, we hope that we don't have the same thing.
00:05The rest of the things that we don't have to do,
00:07but the feeling that all is hell is also happening,
00:11this is a very short way.
00:14And I want to start talking about one thing here,
00:15which I want to start talking about Gen Z.
00:22The children of Gen Z will also face it.
00:24When you say that I am very stressed,
00:26I am very stressed feeling,
00:27or I am doing it,
00:28or someone will say that I am in depression.
00:30The words that you are normal for people,
00:33you will always ask,
00:35what stress are you?
00:36How many people ask you to ask?
00:38You are telling yourself very big.
00:42So the problem is,
00:45is this generation so stressed,
00:47or is it expressing what our situation is?
00:52Let's start with you.
00:55Stress is.
00:56I think,
00:58acceptance is a very mature thing.
01:01Acceptance is that,
01:02the stress is also now.
01:04Stress was also before.
01:06Our grandparents also had stress.
01:08Our parents also had stress.
01:10Stress has changed,
01:11that is a different thing.
01:12But stress is.
01:13It is not a lot of argument in this.
01:18We have to handle stress.
01:21It is a lot of stress.
01:23It is more important.
01:24And it is acceptance.
01:25Whether it is a study,
01:26marks, relationships,
01:28social media and confirmity.
01:31Our daily lifestyle,
01:33our commuting time,
01:36our daily lifestyle,
01:37our daily lifestyle,
01:37our daily lifestyle,
01:39our daily lifestyle.
01:41If you deal with that,
01:43how much you deal with that,
01:44it will decide that,
01:47that trigger,
01:49how much stress is given you.
01:52and I think that there is a focus on skill building.
01:56This argument is not possible that there is no stress on you.
01:59That is a denial.
02:01Acceptance is that there is stress on everyone.
02:04There is also in your generation.
02:06Dr. Vora is quite young, so maybe in his generation,
02:09but in my generation there is a lot.
02:11Okay?
02:12So now, for 2-5 hours to drive back,
02:16there is a lot of stress.
02:18Dr. Gupta, there are distractions too.
02:20Dr. Gupta, there are many issues.
02:21Dr. Gupta, absolutely, Shweta.
02:23Society has changed.
02:25We are all witnesses.
02:27The stressors and protective factors were all gone.
02:32Gen Z, which we believe after 95-97,
02:36there is no time period.
02:39There are many changes in that period.
02:42For example, I will tell you,
02:45the people who call digital natives.
02:46This generation is probably the first generation,
02:49who have not seen the pre-internet era.
02:52Our generation is both.
02:54But they are digital natives.
02:57So, social media is centered.
03:00A psychological term is called identity formation.
03:04In every person's life,
03:05there is an identity.
03:06Who is it?
03:08How do you know yourself?
03:10So, the identity was created in a very safe place,
03:13in a private space.
03:15Today, the identity is created in social media.
03:18And there is also a matrix,
03:20that you are getting likes and dislikes.
03:23Everything is now public.
03:26Your identity formation is now public.
03:28So, that is, I think, one of the biggest reasons
03:31that why changes are in Gen Z?
03:34Stress is good.
03:37For evolutionary perspective,
03:39we have evolved,
03:41we are good for stress.
03:43Because after stress,
03:45there is a resilience of someone.
03:47If we protect someone,
03:49there is an over-safetyism,
03:50there is a phenomenon.
03:51If we protect our children very much,
03:54if we don't have any manageable stress,
03:56then,
03:57the resilience of their resilience is very low.
04:00The strength of their stress is very low.
04:02So, these are some factors.
04:04We will talk about Gen Z.
04:05What are the new challenges
04:09of their stress
04:09and dealing with them.
04:12Okay.
04:13Because this thing directly impacts you all.
04:16Therefore,
04:16we will take questions in 15 minutes.
04:19We will take two questions.
04:20Okay.
04:21So, you must take your hands,
04:22and ask them to ask them.
04:24But, Dr. Vora,
04:25understand this.
04:27As a psychologist,
04:29you were surprised.
04:33Like,
04:34Swami Chidanand Saraswati was here.
04:36He told me,
04:36a 11-year-old child,
04:38that I am stressed.
04:40So, I thought,
04:40that this is not a life.
04:43But, today,
04:44the things are changing so quickly.
04:45I think,
04:46that if you ask them
04:47for 15-20-year-olds,
04:48they will ask them,
04:49why?
04:49This is a normal thing.
04:51So,
04:51initially,
04:53you are also shocked?
04:54Did you change your method?
04:57How did you see?
04:58My child's 11-year-old child,
04:59that's right.
05:01It's a fact.
05:02Swami Ji,
05:02probably,
05:02you should ask them.
05:03But,
05:03in our last 5-10 years,
05:05we are seeing changes,
05:06it is clear that
05:08Gen Z is stressed.
05:10Your initial question was,
05:12whether they are stressed,
05:13yes,
05:13they are.
05:13Others have said,
05:15they are talking about this.
05:16Unlike their preceding generations,
05:19they are more expressive.
05:21So,
05:21people think,
05:23that they are probably
05:24speaking more.
05:24but,
05:25yes,
05:26this is a fact,
05:27they are stressed,
05:27and they are expressive.
05:28Yes,
05:29this is,
05:30every child,
05:31that they are stressed,
05:32so,
05:32we have to have a boundary line
05:34to understand,
05:35whether they are genuine
05:36or they are thinking more.
05:38But,
05:38the generation of today's date,
05:41if we compare ourselves,
05:44then,
05:44if you have stress on it,
05:47then,
05:47in the past,
05:48there was a family rupee,
05:51a joint family system
05:53or a family rupee,
05:53an emotional cushioning.
05:55And,
05:56whatever the problem was,
05:57either,
05:58it was confined in four walls,
06:00when you were talking about it,
06:03or,
06:03like some people,
06:04in a group.
06:06But,
06:06now,
06:07your family has become a global village.
06:10So,
06:11now,
06:11societal pressures,
06:14now,
06:14you will become a family of social media,
06:17then,
06:18you will compare everything,
06:20you will think about everything,
06:21you will think about everything.
06:24In the meantime,
06:26these things were not happening,
06:27that,
06:27what the other is doing,
06:28or how big it is,
06:29how big it is,
06:29how much it is.
06:30Today's date,
06:31there are so many things,
06:32so,
06:32it goes in four ways.
06:34So,
06:34an average child,
06:36will compare yourself,
06:39that,
06:39that,
06:40the achiever,
06:41whether he is financially,
06:43whether he is in sports,
06:44whether he is in celebrity,
06:45whether he is in sports,
06:45so,
06:45that,
06:45that comparison,
06:47that,
06:47that,
06:47that emotional cushioning,
06:48came to be angry at the time,
06:50that we have not been able to get on the time,
06:50that,
06:51that,
06:51that was a very different place.
06:54Mmm,
06:55I think,
06:55that,
06:55I think,
06:55that,
06:55that,
06:55there is no cover here, no one is going to explain to you,
07:00so your moral compass was not missing.
07:05So all these things that we made more resilient,
07:09are unfortunately missing in today's date.
07:12And this is the reason that some countries have talked about banning on social media.
07:18Why? Because the younger generation of Gen Z,
07:22when the brain is going in the phase of the brain,
07:25you need the right stimulus to put the brain in the right direction.
07:31Your brain's maturation is distorted,
07:34and you have multiple stimuluses in which you don't know what is the right direction,
07:38so what will happen? This is the reason.
07:41The biggest pressure on the two questions was that it wasn't going to be married,
07:45and the other one was going to be married.
07:48But the other ones were the ones that you have committed to,
07:51but the other ones were the ones that you have committed to,
07:53the other ones that you have committed to.
07:54Today, the other ones were not committed to our faces.
07:56Sir, how do you have normalized,
08:00how do you get clinical help to take,
08:03if there is a problem?
08:06How do society accept this?
08:17I don't think that the perception that we have in our face is that people are talking more about,
08:25so people are talking more about help-seeking.
08:27I don't think that the two things that we have in our face is not right.
08:32So, the algorithm does not mean reality.
08:36You have read two things about depression.
08:39You have come to depression or anxiety.
08:42You have come to your feet on your feet.
08:43It doesn't mean that this is what we are talking about in the world.
08:46You have seen on your feet,
08:48that someone said that I have taken the help.
08:51It doesn't mean that everyone is taking it.
08:54It doesn't mean that everyone is taking it.
09:00This is a reality.
09:03The total percentage of people,
09:05when I started my career almost 25-30 years ago,
09:10the percentage is almost enough.
09:14It will be a little higher,
09:16which is randomly organic,
09:19but there is no meteoric rise.
09:22But with that, the number of experts and access is also slightly bigger.
09:28So, these numbers,
09:29these numbers,
09:31they do not give a good reflection.
09:33Today, the people who are sitting here,
09:37if we talk about the thoughts,
09:38one in seven people suffer from a mental ailment.
09:43So, we are sitting here,
09:45one in seven people are taking help,
09:49thinking about help.
09:51This is not a factually correct thing.
09:53If there are a few hundred people sitting here,
09:56probably two or three, four.
09:57So, we have to understand the reality of our ecosystem.
10:07We have built our ecosystem.
10:09I am saying to my young colleagues yesterday,
10:12that people are saying,
10:13so,
10:13they are all coming.
10:15They had their earphones,
10:17I think they are saying,
10:18today.
10:18So, they had some headphone kind of thing,
10:20and they are running and running,
10:21they are listening.
10:23And I was telling them,
10:23that the noise is coming.
10:27Hear some cars honk.
10:28Hear some people shouting.
10:30Hear the noise.
10:31That is the word.
10:32In every single thing,
10:34if you have to dilute your own ecosystem,
10:38that is not how it works.
10:40So, this is the thing,
10:41that people are taking help.
10:43Yes, some people are taking help.
10:45In the past, they are taking more.
10:47But there is no meteoric change.
10:49I don't think social media has increased
10:52help-seeking behaviour the way we believe it has.
10:56That is not true.
10:57At the same time,
10:59more and more young people are reaching out
11:02to open AI,
11:04to talk about mental health.
11:05This is also a reality.
11:07So, we need to think here,
11:10that we need to do what kind of awareness,
11:13what changes in education.
11:16Our education needs to match the pace of time.
11:20No, I am not saying that.
11:20Because if in our generation,
11:22it has happened that sex education is important,
11:24and it has started,
11:25so now it is about that.
11:27Dr. Gupta, how safe is it?
11:29For such problems,
11:32open AI, chat GPT,
11:35Google Gemini,
11:36go to your questions.
11:39Look, how safe is it?
11:41How much percentage is it?
11:42I do not know.
11:43But,
11:45the data that has come to us,
11:47is that all AI systems suffer from some kind of hallucinations.
11:52Okay?
11:53We have hallucinations.
11:55Many things that are happening,
11:56AI can validate you.
11:58For example,
11:59we have patients,
12:00couples come to us,
12:02saying,
12:02I am not having a match with my husband,
12:05I am struggling with my husband,
12:06I am struggling with my husband,
12:07I am struggling with my husband,
12:07and I am struggling with my husband.
12:08What is he?
12:09Narcissist.
12:11Narcissist term,
12:11has become so much in the fashion,
12:14that both think that my husband is narcissistic,
12:17and wife thinks that my wife is narcissistic,
12:20and my husband thinks that my wife is narcissistic.
12:22So, many terms are happening nowadays.
12:24Toxicity.
12:24My house has been used for four years,
12:26and I have to find this narcissist.
12:28What is it?
12:30And what can happen,
12:32that it will get the impact?
12:33Right.
12:33So,
12:34Dr. Parik has talked about the algorithm,
12:36what you are searching for,
12:38the feed,
12:39the short-form videos,
12:40they will show you.
12:41There are some examples,
12:43Toxicity.
12:43Trauma.
12:44Trauma is very common.
12:46We have a lot of children,
12:48a lot of adolescents,
12:49saying,
12:49I am ADHD,
12:50I am going to start treatment.
12:52They come,
12:53because open AI,
12:54or any other AI model,
12:56has been diagnosed with them.
12:58But,
12:59this is also another problem.
13:01The AI systems are actually,
13:03very helpful,
13:04to break that barrier,
13:06to help seeking.
13:07Yes.
13:08You can talk safely,
13:10with that.
13:12Maybe,
13:13that AI system will tell you,
13:14that you will go to a mental health professional.
13:17So,
13:17the first barrier,
13:18the stigma,
13:19that AI has worked very well.
13:21This is another corollary,
13:23which is a national mental health line.
13:25I am going to tell you today,
13:28which I have not heard.
13:29The government of India is tele-health line.
13:30Government of India.
13:31This was started in 2023.
13:33Its number is 14416.
13:36How many calls have you today?
13:4129,50,000 calls.
13:44In five years.
13:46Not five years, three years.
13:4829,00,000 calls.
13:50And most of these calls are from the youth.
13:53Most of these.
13:54I am not sure about the data,
13:56but majority youth have talked to this help line.
14:00So,
14:01if you need such help,
14:03or
14:03AI is better that you talk to a professional.
14:06It is available in all Indian languages.
14:09It is available in all Indian languages.
14:10It is a nodal center.
14:11So,
14:12it is a B24R into 7.
14:14Government of India is a help line.
14:1614416
14:16Tele-health line.
14:18So,
14:19you can see this.
14:21How much of its projection is so big.
14:22it is a big deal.
14:23Probably,
14:24we all meet,
14:24who are mental health professionals in India,
14:26they cannot cater.
14:28Because the demand,
14:30the requirement is very huge.
14:32Our number is very low.
14:34Dr. Vohra,
14:36when do you know,
14:37that I have a need for clinical help?
14:41And one thing,
14:42I don't know.
14:42I don't know.
14:43Does a psychiatrist or psychologist
14:47have no bank balance?
14:50What are the therapy sessions?
14:52These are the basic things.
14:55the thing is that
14:57when do you need help?
14:59So,
14:59any person,
15:01who feels that
15:03his personal,
15:04professional
15:04or social activities
15:07or interactions
15:08is changing
15:08to himself
15:10or his loved ones
15:11are saying,
15:12there is change in you.
15:13The first thing,
15:14whether he is in anxiety,
15:15whether he is in depression
15:17or in abnormal behavior.
15:19That is the point you must seek.
15:21mental health professionals help.
15:23And the second thing,
15:24you said,
15:25what is costly?
15:27So,
15:27in my opinion,
15:28you have two options.
15:29As Dr. Manushri said,
15:32the government has worked in the last three years.
15:35In mental health,
15:36the central government has focused on
15:39and they have allocated a budget
15:42especially for mental health.
15:44Looking at the requirement
15:45at the country level,
15:47Pan India.
15:47So,
15:48you have free services available.
15:50You have to help,
15:52like the telemanis said,
15:53the people who can't afford
15:55for government hospitals.
15:57In Delhi,
15:58there are so many hospitals
15:58where there are very good indoor setups.
16:02There are very qualified psychiatrists.
16:05Now, you can go to government hospitals.
16:07And,
16:07people who don't want to go to government hospitals
16:11because of any reason,
16:12there are private sector.
16:13In the private sector,
16:13in the private sector,
16:14your degree of problem.
16:16How much is there?
16:18How much is there?
16:18How much is there?
16:19How much is there?
16:19As soon as you go to the doctor,
16:21you will get less money.
16:22You will get less money.
16:23You will get less medication.
16:24You will get less medication.
16:26What happens is that
16:27people don't realize
16:28they are too hesitant
16:29or they don't seek help
16:30because of the stigma.
16:31So,
16:31what happens?
16:32Until we reach patients
16:33for 2 years,
16:343 years,
16:354 years,
16:35they have depression,
16:37anxiety,
16:37OCD.
16:38Now,
16:38if you are late,
16:39we can get less things
16:40that we can't bear.
16:40We are okay.
16:42We can get ends of this disease,
16:42that are the world-class.
16:44You will realize that
16:45only of 70 people
16:47in the hospital,
16:49we can do it
16:50If you get sick,
16:51you will get sick of feverish
16:52disorder,
16:53which we call Schizophrenia.
16:54When you reach right time,
16:56there are so good
16:57prognosis.
16:59If you go to early stage,
17:01then no pocket will come to you.
17:02This has been prescribed a lot.
17:04A memory is created
17:05that the doctor or the doctor
17:06will go to the surgery,
17:07so there is a wrong part.
17:08If you are late, then there is a person who has started blood pressure.
17:14When you have started blood pressure, you will go to one or two readings.
17:18What did the doctor say?
17:19The doctor said that you do yoga, pray, meditation adequately.
17:22It is reversible.
17:23Similarly for us.
17:24If you come quickly, we will not get anxiety or depression.
17:28This is a fact.
17:29People don't realize it.
17:31Now, there is a person who is taking blood pressure from 10 years,
17:33who is taking blood pressure.
17:34He doesn't have any treatment.
17:35What can he do with the brain attack?
17:37There are two very important things.
17:40After this, we have a question.
17:42The first thing is that,
17:44the question for mental health is how expensive it is.
17:48What is the comparison?
17:50What are we comparing it to?
17:52Now, tell me globally,
17:54in the global comparison,
17:56is that mental health services are expensive in India?
17:59The answer is no.
18:01And this is not fair.
18:03I feel like this question,
18:04the other health care professionals
18:06and other health care modalities
18:08in comparison is necessary to see.
18:10I am telling you, sir.
18:12Because the other health care,
18:13will be so much test at 99.
18:15They are advertised.
18:17Both of NMC have explained it.
18:19Both of NMC have explained it.
18:20But both of NMC have explained it.
18:21The other thing is,
18:23I want to question your question from you.
18:26We must ask everyone.
18:28How many people have health insurance?
18:31Right?
18:33Can anyone define health without using mental health?
18:39No.
18:40Now, tell me,
18:41if you have health insurance,
18:43then you have a cover of mental health,
18:45in spite of the court order,
18:48in spite of the policy,
18:49in spite of the policy.
18:50The day the insurance sector will work,
18:53which is,
18:54which is,
18:55you have the coverage of the psychiatry and psychology.
18:58You don't have the value of this question.
19:00The problem is,
19:01in the implementation of policy.
19:03That's right.
19:04Yes.
19:05And if you get cashless services,
19:07then where will you pinch?
19:08Now, there is a psychiatric problem.
19:10You need admission.
19:11You go somewhere,
19:12you have a cashless option.
19:13So,
19:14the government,
19:15and the government,
19:16it's very good.
19:18Implementation of challenges.
19:19Now, let us take a question.
19:21Mike,
19:23first,
19:24who?
19:25Then you have them.
19:26First,
19:27first.
19:32Sir, of course, there are taboos, but there is awareness.
19:39But my question is that if someone wants to reach out to a professional,
19:44but in social taboo, people say that this is just a relationship issue,
19:49why do you have to reach a professional?
19:51But it seems like how do you combat or deal with people around you
19:56who feel that this is not a big matter?
19:59You know?
20:00Look, you have to understand that if you have discussed it,
20:05and if you feel yourself that you have a problem,
20:08or you want to seek help,
20:09then don't go to the other side.
20:11And you can help as a mental professional.
20:15And the most important thing about today's date,
20:17all of the services that are the topmost,
20:21whether it is the government sector or private sector,
20:22are digitally available.
20:24So, if you take digital services,
20:26you have to keep anonymity,
20:27you don't have to handle taboo,
20:29and within the confines of your four walls,
20:32you can take the services.
20:33So, you must open up and take the help.
20:35In today's date,
20:37world-class services are available in India,
20:38digitally as well as in-person form.
20:41Please.
20:41Ma'am, we often say Gen Z's or young people,
20:46that they say about their mental health.
20:48But when they say,
20:50mostly families or friends,
20:52they say that they are seeking attention,
20:55or why they are being dramatic for a situation.
20:58So, do we have just made a trending topic of mental health?
21:01Or do we try to understand that?
21:03Or do we try to understand that?
21:04It is a very different group of stigma.
21:06And I think…
21:07First of all,
21:09I don't think mental health is trending.
21:11Okay?
21:12I think we have to come out of this thinking.
21:14I wish it is trending.
21:16But it never trends.
21:18World Mental Health Day,
21:19World Mental Health Day is not trending.
21:22Okay?
21:23This is a fact of life.
21:25Baki, I think Manashi was saying something.
21:26I wanted to ask.
21:27I wanted to say this,
21:28because I don't think mental health gets its due.
21:30There is a…
21:30What the child asked.
21:33There is a gross gap between the generations.
21:37The way mental health is perceived by the present generation
21:39is not perceived by the elders,
21:41or by their grandparents.
21:43So, as children want to talk about,
21:45you will be surprised.
21:46I was sitting in my clinic,
21:48and one of the topmost families in one of the sectors,
21:53the mother came with her son,
21:56who was 14 years old,
21:58and her daughter was 12 years old.
22:00So, I was talking to the mother,
22:03and I was eliciting the symptoms.
22:05So, after some time,
22:06the 12-year daughter said,
22:08Sir, I want to tell you something.
22:10The mother took her son.
22:11She said,
22:12She is sitting in two years.
22:14Sir, there is anxiety for me.
22:17So, the mother was taken aback.
22:18What are you talking about?
22:19And she tried to stop her.
22:20I said, okay, let her speak.
22:21She said,
22:22Sir, I have these symptoms.
22:24And when I study the time,
22:26because my sleep is bad,
22:28and I have these symptoms.
22:29So, I had to counsel the mother.
22:31I said, your child is speaking,
22:33what she is speaking is correct.
22:35And she has learned the right way,
22:37the way it was being said,
22:39that many times,
22:40you get the right information,
22:42if you take it in a balanced form.
22:43So, the younger generation,
22:45and the older generation,
22:46there is a mismatch in the perception of mental health,
22:48identification,
22:49awareness,
22:50and seeking the health.
23:20Exactly.
23:24So, I don't think there is any difference.
23:27Name calling,
23:28shaming,
23:29trolling,
23:29various forms of bullying,
23:30that is also happening in this age group.
23:33Okay?
23:33So, there is no point,
23:35that we make a generational question.
23:37The reality is,
23:38that from meaner to meanest,
23:40we are being made.
23:40Our negativity in conversations,
23:42is so much,
23:44you can go on any social media platform,
23:47you can go on any social media platform,
23:48you can write good things,
23:48and you will also get the negativity in it.
23:52I think that,
23:54in some of the past few years,
23:56and some of the past few years,
23:57the biggest contribution of our community,
24:01collectively as a society,
24:03is trolling.
24:04We have become so many people,
24:05of course.
24:07Very brutal.
24:07We do not do not do not do not do not do,
24:09we do not do not do on public forum,
24:10we do not do not do in private,
24:12we do not do not do in private,
24:14our language is so deteriorated,
24:17we make comedy,
24:20we make trolling,
24:22we make cool,
24:22we make abusive,
24:24mean comments,
24:25we make okay,
24:26we make slurr,
24:29we make psychotic terms,
24:31we make OC,
24:32we make this kind,
24:34and after doing that,
24:36we say toxicity.
24:37Change your words.
24:40Sir.
24:41Dr. Gupta,
24:42can you answer your question?
24:45Dr. Gupta,
24:46if we know that,
24:47in our home,
24:48any family member,
24:49or ourselves,
24:50we feel that it is coming to us,
24:51it is coming to us,
24:52it is coming to us,
24:53it is coming to us,
24:55it is coming to us,
24:56it is coming to us,
24:56it is coming to us,
24:57it is coming to us,
24:59we have to go to the psychiatrist,
25:01and to the psychologist.
25:03This is a very important question.
25:05it is coming to us.
25:07there are several months,
25:09and many years,
25:10that we take therapy,
25:11and go to the doctor,
25:13because if you go to the doctor,
25:15some people are scared,
25:16some people are scared,
25:16they will give you,
25:17they will give you,
25:18they will give you,
25:18and they will not give you.
25:19There are many myths,
25:21that are prevalent,
25:22about psychiatrists,
25:23and psychiatrists.
25:24Which is not true,
25:26the psychiatric medications,
25:28they are world-class,
25:30like Dr. Vora said,
25:31they are comparable,
25:32and even better,
25:33than other ailments.
25:35If you take diabetes,
25:37or diabetes,
25:38or arthritis,
25:39whatever they work,
25:41they work,
25:44but I am going to ask you,
25:46to go to the psychologist,
25:47or to the psychiatrist,
25:49to go to the psychiatrist.
25:50The journey of us,
25:52will come to us.
25:53If any of any kind of stress,
25:56or has failed,
25:57or has failed,
25:58or has failed,
25:58or has failed,
25:59or has failed,
25:59or has failed,
26:00then there is a time,
26:01the journey of pain,
26:01it will come to us,
26:03pathology,
26:03and this is not something,
26:04the medical diagnosis,
26:05will come to us.
26:07So, you can go to the psychologist,
26:08to go to everyday problems,
26:11But if he has a disease, if he is a individual with whom you are talking about, he is doing
26:15a lot of time and his functioning is affected.
26:19If he went to a job, he left his job, he went to school, he missed his school, he was
26:25able to do a good job, he didn't do it.
26:27So if you look at functioning, functioning is an important criteria, if he is affected, you must go to a
26:32psychiatrist.
26:35Sir, one thing, one thing, one pattern is very different.
26:39And we say, it's a normal thing that we say that we don't have sleep, so we don't have focus
26:44on the mind.
26:45Now, the whole pattern is over and over.
26:48What do we say to the new generation?
26:49Every generation is the same.
26:52So what does this effect?
26:54Yes, I have a question for you.
26:56Look, someone has said that sleep is God gifted meditation.
27:00So, for 8 hours of sleep, if we take 8 hours in the whole world,
27:07believe me, 50% of stress rate problems can be reduced to the whole world.
27:11Why I am saying this is, most of the time, you will see that all of the lifestyles,
27:16if we focus on youngsters, they have been very erratic.
27:20You are watching reels at night, you are talking on mobile,
27:26so you don't have time to sleep.
27:28So you have to sleep at 4 and at 6 and 7.
27:32So chronic deprivation of sleep, we all have to prone anxiety and depression.
27:37I am adding one thing, sir.
27:39Do you have to sleep with a little bit?
27:41No, that doesn't happen.
27:42Understand?
27:43If you don't have adequate sleep,
27:45then not only your mental health, but your whole physical structure.
27:49Whether it's blood pressure, sugar, obesity,
27:51or your immune system.
27:52It's all about it.
27:54So adequate sleep is the first step for your mental health,
27:57not only your mental health, but for your whole physical well-being.
27:59That's why you are deprived.
28:00When everyone is deprived,
28:02then how can you expect that you will not increase your problems?
28:05The younger generation is necessary to understand
28:08that you don't have to take 8 hours to 8 hours.
28:09We say 6 to 8 hours.
28:11So you understand that all of the things you have in the digital media,
28:15which are in the form of addiction,
28:17and especially the algorithms that you are hooked on,
28:21so one of the things you have to do is a digital addiction,
28:23your lifestyle is happening,
28:24and you have to see another one of the others.
28:26You have to see, you feel like alcohol,
28:31or vaping, or drugs,
28:33in your style,
28:35or in your style,
28:35or in your style,
28:35or in your style.
28:36These things are compounded,
28:37and you have to predispose all sorts of psychiatric problems.
28:41How many people,
28:42while sleeping on the night,
28:44keep the phone on?
28:48Keep the phone on when sleeping on the night.
28:50Oh, there is so disinterested.
28:51Listen to your questions,
28:52take your hand.
28:53How many people,
28:56keep the phone on when sleeping on the night?
29:00This is narcissism.
29:02What?
29:03Because if you think,
29:04if you missed someone's phone,
29:06then what will happen?
29:07The world won't happen.
29:08Nothing will happen.
29:09It doesn't matter.
29:11It doesn't matter.
29:11It doesn't matter.
29:12It doesn't matter.
29:13My phone is off.
29:14Let me see.
29:15Sir, we are a professional.
29:17But that also can happen with delegation.
29:20But if you think,
29:22that my phone is on,
29:23and because of that,
29:24because of that,
29:25I will check a little bit of notification.
29:27When you do FOMO,
29:39FOMO,
29:49FOMO,
29:51I will check a little bit of notification.
29:51You have to call it.
29:52That is a good suggestion.
29:53I will tell you.
29:56sometimes,
29:57and we all have to get addiction.
29:59If you want to get one time,
30:00then you will see it all.
30:03But you will see it all.
30:03But you don't want to leave it all.
30:06But you will be able to leave it all.
30:08If you want to change it, you can give it a way to our experience.
30:12I will ignore the word addiction.
30:14Because it becomes a little clinical.
30:16My very simple point is,
30:20you can do basic things.
30:22Your work, your study related, direct things,
30:26that if you have any apps or any other things,
30:29you can stop the notification.
30:31In a day, two times, three times,
30:33whatever time you want to take out of 15-20 minutes,
30:35you don't have time to give it to you.
30:36And you can do it in bits and pieces.
30:39And once you have to sleep,
30:41if you don't do that,
30:44then you can do it.
30:47You need help.
30:48You need help.
30:49You need help.
30:50If you don't do it,
30:53you don't need it.
30:56You don't need it.
30:58You don't need it.
31:00One important message is,
31:04where you are,
31:05where you are,
31:07It's very important.
31:08Sometimes you don't have doubt.
31:09Think about it.
31:10Wherever you are,
31:11wherever you are,
31:11wherever you are.
31:11If you are sitting on your table,
31:14then please,
31:15take the taste of the food.
31:17Maybe we have a lot of time.
31:19We have to eat proper food,
31:20sitting around.
31:22The phone is still in your hand.
31:23Where you are,
31:24where you are,
31:25if you don't get anything,
31:26then keep your attention on your breathing.
31:27You are mindful of what you are doing.
31:29If you are reading something,
31:31please,
31:31don't keep your phone in the room.
31:33Don't keep your phone in the room.
31:34If you want to study.
31:35You don't need it.
31:36In any other things,
31:37there is a lot of time.
31:39If your phone is in your room,
31:41you will not do the same work.
31:44You will keep it.
31:47You keep it.
31:47You will keep it off.
31:48Then you will keep it off.
31:49You will grab the attention on your phone.
31:52You will keep it in the other room.
31:54You will keep it in the room.
31:54The important message is,
31:55wherever you are,
31:56wherever you are,
31:58I don't even know.
32:00Sorry,
32:00I just want to say,
32:00I am asking.
32:00This is the first time.
32:02This is the first time.
32:03When the child is eating food,
32:05take a phone call,
32:06put a phone call,
32:07or put a phone call.
32:07Then,
32:08the first time,
32:08you are asking,
32:09all the problems.
32:11But,
32:11if I want to know,
32:13that,
32:13I want to know,
32:14every morning and night,
32:15my eyes are upset.
32:17I will keep it.
32:19I will leave it.
32:21First of all,
32:22I want to understand everything.
32:23Every morning,
32:23there is two types of stress.
32:26U-stress and distress.
32:27U-stress means that you need so much motivation
32:30that you can do any work.
32:32But if it gets overwhelming,
32:33then it gets in distress.
32:35For this, the basic thing is to understand
32:37that if you have to remove these things,
32:40how do you relax your body and mind?
32:42Our body is in sympathetic system
32:44and parasympathetic.
32:45In the sympathetic system, cortisol is secreted.
32:48It prepares you.
32:49It prepares you for all these activities.
32:51If your system is always
32:53in an over-sympathetic mode,
32:56then the other system is called parasympathetic.
32:59It cannot come back.
33:01To explain it,
33:03there is a break in the car and an accelerator.
33:06In today's date,
33:08there is no break.
33:10What is break?
33:11It is that you can relax your brain.
33:15So the parasympathetic activities
33:17that are mentally relaxed,
33:18the first thing is
33:19switching off from phone,
33:21having adequate sleep,
33:22connecting with others,
33:24with in-person,
33:25going for all such activities
33:27which are mentally detaching you
33:29from the outside world,
33:31in the form of taking holiday,
33:33actually enjoying what you like,
33:35music and everything.
33:36All these things are scientifically proven.
33:38We do not have a balance.
33:40We do not have a balance.
33:41We do not have a balance.
33:43We do not have a balance.
33:44Now, for 24 hours,
33:45you have been on mobile.
33:46You did not have a P.V.
33:48So how can you think
33:50that you do not have anxiety or depression
33:51or you do not have hyper-vigilence?
33:53And if you have to stay
33:56mentally sane and relaxed,
33:58you will have to make a balance.
33:59The phone has to be a judicious view.
34:01The phone has to be off one hour before.
34:04The phone has to be passed,
34:05keeping the blue light,
34:07then all the circadian rhythm
34:09will rise up.
34:10So we are predisposed to insomnia.
34:12That's why people have
34:14the demand of melatonin
34:15that people are taking artificial melatonin,
34:17which is the brain's natural melatonin.
34:19We do not take it.
34:20And as Dr. Pari said,
34:22switch on the phone
34:24mentally you are not at rest.
34:26You are expecting somebody can ring you up.
34:28Somebody can call you.
34:30So your mental disappointment is not happening.
34:31So God-gifted,
34:33rejuvenation of brain through sleep
34:35is missing.
34:36These are all things
34:37predisposed to your mental health related issues.
34:40If someone has a question,
34:42you would like to ask them.
34:43Mike, please, go ahead.
34:45Sir,
34:46the drugs,
34:47like for any kind of thing,
34:50when you think about the drugs,
34:53if you think about a psychiatrist,
34:55or psychologist,
34:55if you have to reach a psychologist
34:57and you have to prescribe
34:59the drugs,
34:59you have to deal with.
35:02The problem is happening.
35:02Is it normal to our mind?
35:06It is a stigma and stereotype
35:09that is happening for years.
35:11We do not ask this question
35:12for cardiology.
35:14We do not ask this question
35:15for diabetes.
35:17I am taking the drugs for 30 years.
35:19I have asked someone
35:20to have a doctor.
35:20Has anyone asked...
35:20Has anyone been to have a condition?
35:22Has anyone been to have a condition?
35:24If I have no doctor for a day,
35:26then I cannot function.

36:05pa
36:27because whatever medicines are, if we give any of this type of drugs in a short period, then we will
36:32taper off.
36:33No, that's not a point of view, sir.
36:34I was asking that sometimes this is said that one time it will be dependence, then it will fall.
36:39Tell me, if the blood pressure of the drug starts, then it will stop.
36:43People are worried about it.
36:45Yeah, but you don't have a choice, right?
36:48You don't have a choice.
36:49It is necessary.
36:51You don't have a choice.
36:53Sir, my question is for younger generation.
36:57As a parent, it was generally concerned about education and health.
37:01But today, what is an emerging question?
37:03What is their behavior?
37:06The second part is the solution.
37:09As a child, 30-40 years ago,
37:12there was an interaction mode in the village and village.
37:16It was a real-world interaction.
37:18Then a joint family, then a nuclear family.
37:21It was a single parent.
37:23Both are working.
37:24So, in this scenario, there was an emotional support.
37:28Or a confidence to express yourself.
37:32Just a small question.
37:34So, it was missed.
37:35So, what is the practical approach for today's date?
37:37That we will handle both the sides.
37:39From the parents' side as well from the children's side.
37:50I have the love of the parent.
37:53So, in the future of the parents,
37:53If you have a parent,
37:55what is a good parent?
37:56What is a good parent?
37:57Or what is a good parent?
37:58What is a good parent?
37:58What is your family?
37:59What will your family find?
38:00Yes.
38:02Hum, there must be new.
38:03We are living in nostalgia,
38:05It was a real-weight system.
38:07The joint family.
38:08Dad, uncle, uncle, uncle, brother, uncle.
38:11The people will not be coming.
38:12Okay?
38:13You think about a side effect of development, because this process is in every developed economy.
38:20Every country goes through its development.
38:22First, there is a farming-based community, a feudal community.
38:26Then, it becomes individualistic.
38:28So, we are in transition.
38:30India is in a transitional state.
38:32First, the community living is going towards individualism.
38:35Like we see in other western countries.
38:38Look, the family closeness is an important factor.
38:42If you can maintain it, you will be able to improve many things.
38:46What happens is that there is a family.
38:48Now, the nuclear families are still alive.
38:51There are many metros in other countries.
38:53But closeness is over.
38:56The parents, mother, father, children were talking about before.
38:59Or they were talking about something.
39:01Whether they had a father or mother.
39:03But closeness is over.
39:04Now closeness is over.
39:06So, the parents are sitting on their laptop or mobile.
39:09Mother is also on their mobile.
39:11And the rest of the children are also.
39:12The number of siblings were also more.
39:14Now you have one or two children.
39:16Cousins came to you.
39:17You also learned from them.
39:18You also had development from them.
39:20So, what is your child?
39:21Now you are addicted to social media.
39:23And you are dependent on them.
39:24And you, you are like people, your children are under.
39:26Now, what if you wait for them?
39:27Let me provide the mic.
39:30I'm if them give you a second
39:31As much time for money, tell themselves citizens.
39:34I want to give my son's children.
39:35I'm right.
39:35My name is Yatesh,
39:36Sir people,
39:37today the students,
39:38many times,
39:39they feel even amount of stress and depression in the old mindfulness.
39:41For some people,
39:42various encounter yes.
39:44What can someone be good for themselves.
39:47What can they do for their depression and stress exercise or something like that?
39:53And those who are the deaths, they also have a lot of students' competition exams.
39:58The basics, sir. The first stage of the doctor is going to go to their life.
40:02Sir, they will give medicines, we will say mental, our parents will go.
40:06There will be many counselling.
40:07If we talk about mental disorders, the basis of geno, psycho, bio, social and economical.
40:14These points are defined as for any case.
40:19Like we are talking about student stress.
40:20There is a very challenging scenario for India.
40:24After the Supreme Court ruling, the whole student community has said that
40:28a mental health policy should each and every college and university should have, including mental health screening.
40:33So, you said that the point is that it is the most important thing that
40:36the children who are around the world are in a supportive way.
40:39To allow them to express their emotions and issues.
40:44You can think that socially you can do such things.
40:47Imagine that the child says that I am afraid of this subject.
40:51So, I am studying and I am afraid that I am afraid of the teacher.
40:54So, this is a social challenge.
40:56This is why you can talk to the child and talk to the teacher.
40:59They can talk to the school or the college.
41:00They can talk to the child and the teacher.
41:03They can do a direct meeting.
41:05Or they can put the counselor in the picture.
41:07Where you feel that the problem is so big.
41:10Or the child is saying that they have suicidal thoughts.
41:13So, in a way, take a supportive way of a mental professional.
41:17Either they take the college or directly.
41:20If you have a social taboo, take it independently or privately.
41:23But you must seek help at the earliest.
41:26The student has a question.
41:28The student has a question.
41:29Please.
41:30The student has a question.
41:30Basically, it is necessary to take the child's words seriously.
41:32It is a dismissive.
41:34Absolutely.
41:35Dr. Parekh, please.
41:37Hello.
41:38Good evening, Amazement.
41:40I have a question which has stuck in my mind.
41:42like few days ago one person told me that like in 40 he was at 40 48 or 49 and
41:49he
41:50haven't never smoked or drink or had any non-veg still he had a heart attack so
41:57this has happened many times that the person has never having in bad habits
42:02and still he has a heart attack or he had a heart attack then what is the cause
42:06and how can he prevent time so I can answer this so you can understand this
42:11this myth is that these things on the top of the stress and its genetic predisposition
42:17it contributes to this idea of smoking or drinking or heart attack
42:21it is absolutely wrong today's lifestyle is so hectic that we have no time to sleep
42:26or eat our food so these things define your body's metabolism and the body's capability to handle stress
42:34so wherever you see and listen first understand its lifestyle or its life related stress
42:40it contributes besides genetic predisposition like in someone's house in their earlier stage
43:02it does not mean that smoking and alcohol is cool it is the stupidest dumbest thing people do to themselves
43:08okay there is nothing cool about taking substances idiots take substances
43:14yeah so my question is do you really think that the rising mental health issues are in Gen Z
43:20is because of social media and maybe self-awareness has increased a lot of self-awareness
43:26because I've seen a lot of people go like they have depression but it's just most of the time stress
43:31or burnout
43:32so is it just a myth?
43:39I like Manushri's answer most of it I just have one thought of this
43:41yeah yeah
43:42I like Manushri's answer most of it I just have one thought of this
44:02how to navigate the social media and the digital world
44:05if you don't have a skill then you can lose it from that
44:09if we don't have a skill then it's just a way to stop losing it
44:13my question is that I call it take back control
44:17you can call it a hashtag take back control
44:20you can control your life
44:21take back control
44:23take back control
44:26take back control
44:27take back control
44:28do not have a touch on social media
44:30do not have a touch on the like
44:32do not have a touch on it
44:34do not have a touch on anyone
44:35there are billions of people in the world
44:37you have got a few hundred likes
44:38who cares
44:41I am sorry
44:43I am sorry
44:43look at this
44:45there is no direct evidence
44:47that social media directly causes mental illness
44:50or mental health problems.
44:52This has been studied many times in India.
44:54It hasn't been done in many places.
44:55But what does social media do?
44:57That you exclude from the rest of the things you have.
45:01Social media is not directly responsible.
45:03But it is a big risk factor.
45:05It is a big risk factor.
45:06It is a big risk factor that social media works in the fire.
45:07It is not fire, but it is a big fire.
45:09It is a social media work in the fire.
45:10Why is Gen Z more affected?
45:12Because Gen Z is very articulate.
45:14It has its terminology that it was not before.
45:17It was not before generation.
45:18So Gen Z's help-seeking behavior is also very good.
45:21And it is also very articulate.
45:23But one more question.
45:24Gen Z is also more anxious.
45:26This has been found in a number of studies.
45:29That anxiety levels of Gen Z are more anxious.
45:32But I would like to end with one quote.
45:35Benjamin Franklin said that every generation thinks
45:37that the generation of the future generation is stupid.
45:42And the same is true for the previous generation.
45:45But this goes on.
45:46But this gap is now very big.
45:49Actually, if you think about it,
45:51we were not in our time.
45:53We were going to ask-to-to-all.
45:55We were going to ask-to-all.
45:55We were going to ask-to-all.
45:57imagine even without Google Maps and without Google.
46:00We were going to call someone's phone.
46:02We had to call someone's phone,
46:03what is the meaning of this.
46:04Or if we were talking about it.
46:05You know, now the phone is not a friend.
46:06Now, Google is your friend.
46:08You can tell us.
46:08Some things are easy and some things are difficult.
46:11Look at the easy side of the way.
46:12Look at the easy side of the way, life becomes difficult.
46:16Sometimes Google has reached such a place where it doesn't exist.
46:18We need to understand that.
46:20But it's mistrust me, sir, in this generation.
46:23Yes.
46:24Let's go to Google.
46:25Let's go to the map and ask.
46:27Let's finish our session.
46:29I think there are many things, many questions and answers.
