Mental illness, also called mental health disorders, refers to a wide range of psychological health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Many people have mental health concerns from time to time. But a concern becomes an illness when ongoing signs and symptoms cause frequent stress and affect your ability to function.

A mental illness can make you miserable and can cause problems in your day to day life. In most cases, symptoms can be managed with a combination of medications and therapy. Here are few suggestions from the top mental health experts about the warning signs of your mental health that you shouldn’t ignore.

As the stigma attached with the mental disorders in the society, we delay the medical and psychological interventions by NOT “recognizing” the early signs of such disorders.

Longer phase of sadness, extreme swings in mood, overwhelming anxiety, being socially isolated and withdrawn, self-harm ideas, delusion and hallucinations, sleep impairment, use of addicting substance are some of the early signs of impending illnesses and are NOT to be ignored.

Awareness programs and psycho-education are really important for the public and the caregivers to get some insight into these disorders.

Early intervention remains the best policy in the management of psychiatric disorders as also in other illnesses.

Dr Mithila Desai,

MA, PhD, Clinical Psychologist and Therapist, Mumbai

Perfectionism can be confusing; it affects different people in different ways. Studies have shown that perfectionism is correlated with mental health issues and predictive of high level of anxiety, OCD, depression, suicidal ideation, eating disorders.

Perfectionist thinking is based on a belief that we’re inadequate: “I’m not enough, and the only way to be enough is to accomplish. Anxious perfectionists are hard on themselves and this often takes the form of self-criticism and dwelling on imperfections, constantly worrying about what people think of them 

They procrastinate or don’t start things, because they don’t think they can do it perfectly, feeling defective or flawed.

Stress can show up in our bodies as aches and pains, insomnia and trouble sleeping, gastrointestinal problems, muscles tension, and low energy. Stress also impacts our mood, contributing to anxiety, depression, and a short temper, could be few early signs of mental illnesses.

Dr Vikas Bhatheja,

PhD (Cognitive Psychology), Senior Consultant – Indus International Hospital, Chandigarh

Some symptoms of a mental health disorder appear as physical problems, such as stomach pain, back pain, headaches, or other unexplained aches and pains.

There are a few early signs of Mental Illness that need to be taken care of. For example – feeling sad, confused thinking or reduced ability to concentrate, excessive fears or worries, extreme feelings of guilt, extreme mood changes of highs and lows, withdrawal from friends and activities, significant tiredness, low energy or problems sleeping, detachment from reality, suspiciousness, inability to cope with daily problems or stress, trouble understanding and relating to situations and people, excessive anger, hostility or violence. The most important thing is family support and a positive approach to handling these situations.

Dr Pooja Anand Sharma,

MA, PhD, Chairperson – Vishwas Healing Centre,

Expertise in Psychotherapy, Dream analysis & Energy Healing training, New Delhi

Understanding the early signs of mental disorders is the key to getting the right help at the right time.

There are a few signs we must not ignore, like – distancing ourselves from our loved ones, increased aggressiveness or violent behavior, agitation, a prolonged period of sadness, increased suspicion of others, being easily annoyed, feeling threatened by people, detached from reality, sleep disorders, change in appetite, losing interest in our favorite activities, and a disturbance in focus.

Remember that these are cumulative symptoms. If the symptoms persist for more than three weeks, you must seek professional help immediately.

Mental illnesses do not go away on their own. We must seek the necessary help at the right time. Otherwise, they can get worse with time.

If your loved ones face such issues, have an open discussion with them about their concerns. Support and encouragement go a long way in healing and treatment.

Dr Kiran Makhijani,

Psychotherapist & psychologist – Dr Y A Matcheswalla’s Superspeciality Polyclinic, Mumbai

One or two of these symptoms alone can’t predict a mental illness but may indicate a need for further evaluation. Some of the indicators that one should not ignore include – sleep or appetite changes, mood changes, social withdrawal, loss of interest, difficulty in daily functioning, poor concentration, memory, and increased sensitivity.

If a person is experiencing several at one time and the symptoms are causing grim issues in the ability to study, work or relate to others, they should consult a professional. People with thoughts of suicide or harming others need immediate attention. Early identification, appropriate assessment, effective care planning, and appropriate treatment play a crucial role in enhancing mental health.

Mental Health is also health. It is difficult to answer questions concern Mental Health: How much is too much, when is it getting unmanageable or how long do we wait before we should seek support? But it’s worth being aware of some signs and red flags which may pose as early symptoms or patterns that warrant timely professional help. There are terms loosely used for signs that may not qualify as a psychological disorder, e.g., internet sadness for depression, nervousness for anxiety, restlessness for ADHD, and so on.

Instead, look for emotional patterns like frequent crying outbreaks, increased nervousness that feels unmanageable, changes in sleeping routine or appetite, or energy levels. Note if these signs are prolonged for more than a certain period or cause significant distress in your professional, personal and social spheres and interfere with daily activities.

Mental Health Signs are not as easily visible as physical health signs. Therefore, mental health care often gets neglected. However, there have been open conversations about mental health and well-being. Early identification of signs and symptoms in mental health leads to proper management and intervention of these signs.

These signs may pave a pathway to seeking mental health care at the earliest – extreme mood swings, excessive worry or anxiety over trivial matters, avoiding problems, dramatic changes in your sleep and appetite, difficulty coping with stress, or engaging in unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance abuse or risk-taking behaviors.

It’s okay not to feel okay. Its okay to experience changes in your mind & body. However, it can affect your functioning, social life, and other domains. Therefore, let go of the stigma, identify the mental health signs, cope effectively and seek professional help if required.

Take care of your mental health because you matter!

Your feelings of sadness that lasts for more than two weeks can be a sign of mental illness. Everyone experiences sadness at one point or the other. However, normal feelings of sadness get better with time.  An abnormally intense sadness lasting for two weeks or longer could be a sign of depression. If you observe in yourself or a loved one, a feeling which is heavier than normal and is difficult to snap out of might requires immediate attention.

“Mojo Kids” – Today’s term for the best play area and development centre in town! Had modest beginnings. Mojo Kids, which opened in 2018, was more than a play area or an activity centre; it was a dream! Shiraz Khan and Aisha Khan’s Dream of Two Children Loving, Visionary, and Enthusiastic Entrepreneur Siblings.

As we all know, times have changed and the definition of outdoor play has become obsolete in today’s fast-paced world. Parents are typically preoccupied with their work lives and rarely have the opportunity to spend quality time with their children during their early years, missing out on critical developmental milestones.

Aisha, as a mother and entrepreneur, was confronted with this issue on a daily basis. As a result, she began her search for the ideal play area for her children, one that was not only safe but also full of opportunities and activities for her children to learn while having fun. The search was not fruitful on all levels in any one location in the city. Some lacked infrastructure, while others lacked skilled personnel. All of this was the beginning of conceptualising an all-in-one solution for the new generation of toddlers!

Along with her brother Shiraz, who has an entrepreneurial mindset, Shiraz has always been at the forefront of the business’s planning, design, and operations. He is constantly on the lookout for newer innovations through activities, workshops, and so on that can be of great value and interest to the children. He has also painstakingly crafted every minute detail of the play zone’s design to ensure that it is ergonomically fit for children to use.

Shiraz has been able to strategically identify key pain points faced by parents for wholistic development of their children through feedback from children and parents over the years. With this in mind, he is constantly on the lookout for better opportunities, learning technologies, and ergonomic activities for Mojo Kids that can be incorporated to help children overcome Gen-Z obstacles.

Mojo is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, and the learning and development hasn’t stopped. Aisha and Shiraz collaborate every day to harness the power of new learning techniques, games, and activities to be incorporated at Mojo and to be able to provide the best to the children of tomorrow!

Shiraz and Aisha have given their all to keep Mojo Kids at the top where it is today thanks to the unwavering support of the hardworking employees at Mojo, the comments from Parents and Patrons, and the direction of their mentor. Additionally, they continuously work to ensure this institution’s continued expansion.

Honda Activa is one of the best-selling two-wheelers in the Indian market. After its debut in the Indian market in May 1999, this scooter took only three years to become the segment leader. Over the years, Honda has made various improvements in the engine and body design, making it easy to ride, fuel-efficient, and a perfect two-wheeler for urban riding.

Furthermore, these developments have helped this scooter achieve a record cumulative sales of over 2.5 crores units. There are various factors that have made it one of the most preferred two-wheelers in the country. Despite the presence of all the safety features present in Honda Activa, riders must also opt for an Activa insurance policy. A motor insurance policy will provide financial coverage for expenses incurred in the event of an accident, theft or other damages. 

Regardless, here’s why it’s a wise decision to choose a Honda Activa over other models. 

Top 6 reasons to buy a Honda Activa 

Here are the reasons why riders should choose Honda Activa over other two-wheelers:

1. Budget

In spite of the high-class performance, riding convenience, classy design and latest features that Honda Activa offers, it’s quite a budget-friendly scooter. Its price usually ranges from Rs.70,000 to Rs.80,000. This pricing has helped it to become a top-selling two-wheeler in India.

2. Mileage

One of the biggest reasons for the Honda Activa’s popularity is its superb mileage. With rising fuel costs, riders are always on the lookout for fuel-efficient means of transport. The average mileage one can get from an Activa is 60 km/litre.

3. Suspension 

Riding in cities where the streets are highly congested and riddled with potholes and cracks, a superior suspension system is a must for a safe driving experience. Activa scooters have a unique suspension system to counter this problem. 

They have telescopic suspension in the front and a 3-step adjustable spring-loaded hydraulic suspension system in the rear. This suspension system allows Activa two-wheelers to absorb the shock from potholes without disrupting your riding comfort.

4. Ride quality

The ride quality of the Honda Activa is one of its unique selling points. Due to its larger front wheel and better suspension system, the scooter feels more stable at higher speeds. Furthermore, due to its improved design, individuals find this two-wheeler more manageable even on traffic-ridden roads. 

The fuel injection system in active scooters makes the engine feel livelier, smoother, and more refined. Moreover, due to the tuned engine performance, this scooter won’t falter even when nearing the top speed. 

5. Styling

If individuals choose Honda Activa 6G, they will get a scooter with a bolder look that has a few similarities with the Activa 125 design. It sports all-LED headlights except for the standard variant, and upfront, this two-wheeler gets conventional telescopic forks. 

Alternatively, if buyers choose the Honda Activa 125, they will find a more aggressive seating position making it look more modern, sporty, and aerodynamic compared to the older 125 models.

6. Safety

Modern-day Honda Activa scooters have CBS (Combined Braking System) at both the front and the rear for enhanced braking efficiency. This helps in reducing the chances of skidding. 

Honda Activa 6G gets an engine kill switch that also serves as an electric starter. Moreover, this scooter also gets an external fuel fill that riders can open with the help of the malfunction switch.

To conclude

Riding in the city streets has its own set of challenges. Bad roads, careless management of traffic, lack of proper infrastructure, and rash driving cause a large number of accidents, particularly in urban and semi-urban areas.

Thus, to avoid financial loss during unforeseen mishaps, riders need to opt for a comprehensive two-wheeler insurance plan, a third-party two-wheeler insurance policy, or an own damage insurance, as per their budget and requirements.

Our trip to Amman, Jordan was personal and professional; after the epidemic, annual study abroad programs for American institutions began. My professor’s husband prepared a group of 10 students to study Arab culture and religion in the Middle East and North Africa region. This would be my first journey to one of our international locations, and I would be starting my thirteenth year with Helping Hand for Relief and Development. The chance to see coworkers I’ve known for years and, more crucially, spend time with beneficiaries whose tales brought me to tears as I told them to our US supporters filled me with excitement, nervousness, and appreciation.

Preparing for the journey of the heart

Nothing can fully prepare you for the trip of meeting someone who, despite having lost everything, their houses, their loved ones, and their health, continues to show gratitude for what little they still possess. Yet, as I approached the camps in Al Mafraq, Jordan, a lump rose in my throat, and questions raced through my mind: Would my kids be able to handle this experience? How could I adequately express my opinions despite the language barrier? Can I remain calm without losing it? Children raced and waved at his car as soon as Zayed, the operational manager of HHRD MENA, drove in front. He explained how these few dispersed Syrian refugees and poor Jordanian families needed regular water trucking deliveries because so many of them were becoming sick from drinking tainted water.

Bright smiles, invitations to tents, and requests to sit down for tea welcomed us. Family after the family came to greet us and tell us about themselves. Nearby these camps in Syria, a war-torn nation that produced refugees who fled to Al Mafraq, could be seen in the backdrop. The current refugees welcomed the newly arriving family into their makeshift housing until HHRD could secure their town tents. Just that day, another family had come with only a few items. Families have to deal with this reality; despite their efforts to move on with their life, they are constantly reminded of what they left behind even though it is only a few miles away.

Caring for one another – Heart fulfillment

As we moved through the camp, we handed out diapers, baby bags, and hygiene kits, and I took notes on the stories told. As my pen wrote down names, ages, and needs, I felt a sense of urgency. I was trusted by them and served as their gateway to the outside world. Thus, this was my obligation. I was presented as a writer for Helping Hand. I wrote page after page, story after narrative, and hardship after plight, so that’s what I did. My heart was overflowing with feelings as I battled to control them while ensuring my own children knew the profoundly changing event they were going through.

Then, in front of his goat corral, a peaceful child named Yaqoob was sitting on top of an empty can. He timidly gazed up at us, and I was drawn to him right away. I shook his hand and wanted to know his name. Zero reaction. I played with his hair and smiled reassuringly. Zero reaction. What kind of trauma had he gone through so young? His skin felt almost leathery in texture and was extremely dry to the touch. Hisham highlighted how many children suffered from sunburn and other skin disorders after spending hours in the intense sun.

As I thought back to soaking my own children in sunscreen before coming here, my eyes began to well up. Beautiful Yaqoob with his dusty clothes sitting motionless on empty cans is imprinted in my memories; I held his hand and kissed it several times.

World Refugee Day serves as a reminder that every person deserves the right to protection, regardless their struggles. Whoever. Wherever. Whenever. They are regular people who encounter unusual situations. Over a million refugees, including Syrian, Palestinian, Yemeni, Rohingya, and Ukrainian ones, received aid from HHRD in 2021. International teams are collaborating with verified partner NGOs to deliver necessities including emergency aid, shelter assistance, help for orphans and education, skill development, water projects, and much more!

With the release of his brand-new Afrobeats-inspired song, “Luna,” Rubal Sikka justified the ambience of Halloween as the track beautifully personifies the moon as Goddess. This talent oozing personality from New York is a melodious singer and an innovative songwriter who has proved his versatility by carving the song Luna in which he made a striking comparison between the moon and an imaginative girl. By bringing this song in the market, Rubal Sikka has set a milestone of unconventional fusion of Punjabi style and the modern urban thought.

The hit collaboration of Rubal and WildXFire from the past has again left the listeners in an awestruck situation as the public couldn’t resist enjoying the two performers’ chemistry as it creates the ideal mix for a Desi-Afrobeats hit song. With the right direction shown by Mexican song producer Isa Torres, Rubal Sikka got the platform to record his polished Punjabi voice on a captivating Afrobeat composition.

The music video for “Luna” is perfectly appropriate as it is mystically themed and screams Halloween season. Rubal has created the setting for a story by filming at the magnificent Palace Theatre in Connecticut. The aura of love reverberates throughout the venue to the box office where WildXFire chases his love interest while a beautiful, royal “Goddess” appears to see Rubal perform in the empty, dimly illuminated auditorium.

Previously named as Gol Mol, the singer didn’t perceive it getting the popularity among the public and then, he gave a very thoughtful name to it i.e. Luna. The reflection of his love for this song can be visible when he talks about the saga of the making of this song in a nostalgia. Here, he mentioned his impulsive thought of moon’s personification that served as the idea behind this song. Being inspired by the uniqueness of Afrobeats genre, he had a longing to accomplish a song with an unconventional theme and spark in it.

Rubal, who has experience in the performing arts as a pianist and choir singer, discovered his love of music through his father, who supported him from a young age. Rubal Sikka’s contributions to the scene more lately have come through his associations with musicians like Raxstar and Sickick. Rubal has a few scheduled tour dates as well as plans for additional songs and collaborations. All platforms have already seen the release of “Luna.”

Known for its big bustling cities, charming countryside, gentle beaches, amazing museums, and countless natural wonders, America is a dream destination for most travelers. Planning your first trip abroad to the US and looking for suggestions on how to plan your big vacation? Here is a simple guide to planning a trip to the USA from India.

Get a tourist visa

The visa application process for the US is a little complicated compared to other countries. As part of the visa process, you will be required to attend an in-person interview, for which an appointment should be scheduled after applying for the visa. The visa process usually involves filling out a Non-immigrant Visa Application (DS-160) form, booking an appointment, and visiting the nearest US Embassy in your city to verify your biometrics registration and documents (passport, photographs, DS-160 form confirmation page, interview appointment letter, and other supporting documents). The last step in the visa process is a one-on-one interview at the US Embassy.

As this is time-consuming, it is recommended to apply for a US tourist visa (B-2 visa) in advance.

Buy travel insurance

Travel insurance is essential when you fly internationally. Many travelers tend to ignore it, but travel insurance is something you shouldn’t travel without. After confirming the travel dates, search for the best travel insurance for USA from India. It has your back in case of a medical emergency, trip interruption, loss of personal belongings such as passport and luggage, or any other mishap. Knowing that you will be covered in an emergency will go a long way in ensuring you have a stress-free vacation. So, why take the risk? If you don’t already have travel insurance, get travel insurance now.

Decide on your itinerary and budget

While your visa process is in progress, you can work on your itinerary and travel budget. To do this, you should first decide the length of your trip. Then, write down the places you want to visit in America and prepare a rough itinerary. Now, divide it into days, i.e., assign a number to each of your locations. Next, do some analysis to locate the accommodation, food, and travel options in each destination so that you can get an estimate of the expenses per day. Based on that, you can determine an approximate travel budget for your trip from India to USA. You should also consider the cost of the visa in the budget. Once you apply, you’ll know how much you’ve paid.

Booking accommodation and other tickets

Booking hotel rooms, train tickets (if required), and other transport tickets in advance can ease your travel from India to USA. Imagine reaching a hotel after a long haul from India to the US only to find out that it is already fully booked! It can be discouraging and frustrating at the same time. Booking is the solution! So, book your flight/train tickets and hotel rooms before reaching your destination. Confirm your bookings before your journey begins.

Get a day-wise plan of your itinerary

The United States of America is immense, and the vast number of places to visit and adventure options it offers can be daunting for any first-time traveler. A freewheeling trip may not be the best option for first timers. Simultaneously, it is also not a good idea to plan your itinerary for a trip to the USA to the minute, as it might spoil the excitement. Instead, detail your rough itinerary and list the experiences you want to try at each place you visit. This further clarifies the budget for traveling from India to the USA.

Get a forex card

Currency exchange is something that can be overwhelming for most first-time travelers. However, you can invest while traveling abroad with a foreign exchange card that allows you to pay in foreign currency or withdraw money from ATMs. It is a safer option than carrying large amounts of cash. You can apply for a foreign exchange card at any RBI-authorized bank (or online) by filling out the specified form and submitting it along with self-attested copies of your PAN, passport, visa, and flight tickets.

Finally, pack for your US trip

The last stage of planning a trip from India to America comes – packing. You travel to a country miles away from home and expect the weather to be the opposite of what you are used to in India. So, pack cautiously depending on the season you are visiting the US. Also, don’t overload your luggage with everything you think you ‘might’ need. Finally, be practical when packing and ensure your luggage’s weight complies with your airline’s baggage policies. You are now ready to go!
