Lovely discussion. Mental health is the need of the hour. Dr Pratima talked about Spirituality as a way of taking care of mental wellbeing. I have been a Yoga practitioner and an Art Of Living faculty for Children and Teens for a decade now. I believe Sudarshan Kriya (which has been well researched @NIMHANS too!!) is a simple rhythmic breathing technique which helps us get in state of Meditation,which calms mind and brings more clarity!!😊

This podcast was amazing I what to add something on parent expose child with phone that, when a mother use videos on phone to make child stop drying which is an amateur way because we should not give exposure to social media to the child so I think that the parents do this because of they want to flaunt that there child can’t stop crying until she/he don’t watch that video, so there should be awareness among the uneducated as well as educated parents about not giving access to mobile phone to the child at an early age ..

Time management is one aspect which is critical to mental health. But knowing your mental limit is always more critical, rather pulling yourself in the irreversible disorder.

Hi, it is an insightful podcast. Thank you for sharing about the phone in service- Tele Manas. Can you please share a few insights on how effective & authentic are its counsellors, if someone is seeking to take therapy from this particular portal?

TLDR for why you clicked this video: There arent quality free therapy options in offline manner. You have to pay for it.
