MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT IN KOLKATA

Taking care of one’s mental health is pretty difficult nowadays, even if you are residing in the city of joy. Quite often, people facing problems with mental health seek out specialist help. This blog gives an overall idea about the various options available for mental health treatment in Kolkata.

Music or Art Therapy

For those suffering from depression or anxiety, turning to the finer arts is a great option for relaxation. They indulge the senses, calm the mind and help in healing. A word of caution here. For more severe categories of mental disorders, this form of therapy does not suffice as a standalone treatment. Medical help must be sought immediately in such cases.

Yoga and Meditation

Mental health treatment in Kolkata relies heavily on spirituality. Regardless of religious beliefs, yogic practices, when practiced under the supervision of an expert, do help in focusing and calming the mind. Those with anger management issues or attention deficit conditions benefit immensely from yoga and meditation. But those with psychosis or severe mental disorders should not indulge in such practices without a psychiatrist’s advice. It may turn out to be counterproductive for these patients.

Counselling or Psychotherapy

The list of mental health treatment options in Kolkata is incomplete without mentioning the current favorite. Psychotherapy or counselling sessions are featuring on the to-do list of many city residents. It is a scientific, evidence based therapeutic practice that has proven benefits. But it is imperative that one should approach a trained clinical psychologist and attend ALL sessions regularly. Also, psychotherapy involves various home assignments that must be completed between sessions. In a word, psychotherapy is not a one session wonder that solves all your problems. It requires regularity, patience, expertise ( of the therapist!) and practice. Once again, severe mental health conditions cannot be treated with psychotherapy or counselling alone. They need medical attention.

Consulting a Psychiatrist

Going to a doctor for mental health conditions does not normally feature on anyone’s bucket list. Most people would exhaust all other options before showing up at a psychiatrist’s clinic. Understandably so. The stigma surrounding this branch of medicine is omnipresent. The popular belief is only people who are completely out of their minds and have to be locked up are supposed to visit a psychiatrist. And the myth continues - psychiatric medications are known to make the patient drowsy and stupid. It is only in the recent years that the residents of the city are warming up to the concept of seeking medical help for mental health treatment in Kolkata. Let’s face the facts. A suicidal patient or one with recurrent panic attacks should not be made to sit around at home for any therapy to work. They need immediate treatment. For those with a special child at home life is very difficult. People with addiction problems or obsessive disorders lead a cursed life. If medicines can help them lead a better life, then why not. As most patients realize after treatment, mental disorders are a function of haywire brain circuits that can easily be fixed with medicines without causing any catastrophic side effects.

The bottomline is, there are plenty of options for mental health treatment in Kolkata. Just select wisely, depending in the severity of the illness and your personal preference but follow through on the treatment. Giving up midway will not get you anywhere.

Btw for anyone who needs to hear it: thinking that people are reading your mind/your thoughts are being heard by everyone is not normal. It's a symptom of psychosis and could be linked to a psychiatric disorder. This, too, goes with hallucinations.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but to teens who don't know what symptoms look like, they may jog it off for a number of reasons. I did, too, when I was in highschool! As a freshman I was having delusions/hallucinations and I didn't tell anyone because I thought they were cringe and weird. I chalked up my hallucinations to me being "tired". People who have psychosis often don't realize that what they're experiencing IS psychosis. This goes the same with other classmates/friends/loved ones. If someone comes to you with concerning behavior (even if they are joking about it) you should take note of it.

In highschool I remember a kid talking about how he could go into the matrix and he had a whole other world to protect/do missions in. He would also go still for long periods of time randomly. I thought he was weird and didn't think much of it, but those are symptoms of schizophrenia (delusions/catatonia).

I would appreciate it if this got a reblog so it could potentially help those recognize these symptoms in either themselves or others!

I wish I could have seen a post like this when I was younger. Then I could have avoided a lot of hardships and would have gotten treatment a lot sooner

make a promise to yourself that this may will be the month you prioritise unconditional self-compassion & self-love ♡

if you can understand abuse victims being repulsed by anything associated with their abuse you should remember some have the opposite reaction, and it's not immoral in comparison, it's literally just how your brain processed the trauma. i'm not sure how much the reaction differs for people who first experienced trauma in adulthood, but a lot of child abuse victims develop inappropriate behaviors and do not have "normal" psychosexual development--and a lot of people are completely unaware of this so they think those children are just born evil or something. "child psychopaths".

it's hard to speak about...to be compared to your abuser, to hear "what if it's inherited and you'll hurt people too". to have literal therapists say you're going to end up some type of sex criminal. I wish at the very least, so-called progressive people would not have the same vitriolic reaction as conservatives when it comes to this, but i've had both tell me i'm better off dead, because normal people wouldn't act or feel like I do. but I already know that, because i've wanted to tear myself apart since I was a little kid, just destroy the "me" that is so messed up

Although anxiety is a natural response to stress and potential threats, anxiety disorders manifest as excessive and often overwhelming, significantly impacting one's daily life.

absolutely fascinated by young dee who is criminally under-discussed so here is my dissertation on what happened in her college years (ft. dr. gainer, setting her roommate on fire, being institutionalized)/my idea for a fic that I will almost certainly never write/my way too serious take on a few throwaway dee lore lines

timeline background: we know that dee majored in psychology ('charlie got molested') and got "three fourths" of the way in (meanwhile dennis finished his psych minor.) assuming this was a four year program, I'm gonna guess that in her third year she got institutionalized and most likely had to drop out ('gun fever too: still hot'.) we also know that she had her back brace until she was twenty ('underage drinking'), so I'm guessing that means she got her back brace off in her third year.

we know that dennis fancied himself a psychologist since he was young, but I think dee did too. in particular I think she was wary and interested in her brother's psychology; she seems very aware of his psychopathy and bpd in 'making dennis reynolds a murderer' and 'psycho pete returns.' in my head she's been interested in dennis' psychology since they were kids and she saw him snapping crows necks. so instead of forcing her way into acting school, she studied psychology to better understand her brother (and also deep down, herself, who is very much the other side of the same fucked up coin.) it also meant she could tell herself she could study her characters even better when she became an actress.

i think she put in (her version of) genuine academic effort to get in, fuelled kind of by spite (remember the way she studied that thick medical book in 'hero or hate crime' or her very quick math in 'boggs: ladies reboot'). she studies books and gets cricket to quiz her and she still fails to get into penn. but frank always pitied her (i think she was his favorite of the twins-remember "let your sister into the gang", "that's my girl!", "i'm sorry the grift didn't work out, sweetie") so he shells out cash to get her in, but also to get her away from home so he has to deal with her even less.

dennis wants to do anything dee does but better and he wants to keep her close by (to watch her crash and burn, and also because he's weirdly possessive-see 'the gang broke dee' "i'm your select!"). and obviously he's barbara's favorite. so barbara gives him money to get in too. she also gets him into a frat and pays for his classes and his rent and everything he needs. dee has to live in a dumpy dorm with a female roommate.

but college presents dee a chance to moult her previous place in life where she was known as a monster (remember how insistent she was that "people can change!" in 'franks pretty woman'. I think dees always wanted to believe she can shed that feeling she's inferior, but she never has). in my head her female roommate is basically normal-has real friends of her own, mentally stable, attractive-which is exactly what dee craves. dee wants to be popular and well liked and she wants to infiltrate her roommates life, imitate her, be in the Cool group. and she places all her hopes on a friendship with the roommate but dee has never navigated real female friendships before, not with someone like her. deep down she also wishes she found what dennis found in mac, whatever it was, because ever since dennis met mac he's never been as close to her. and i do think dee is some flavor of queer. and the roommate is well liked in the way that dee admires and envies. so there is that blurriness between wanting to be her and wanting to be with her. in my head her roommate looks like the woman from dee's fantasy in 'the gang saves the day' (and they both represent that promise of escape from dee's shitty life).

dee is so desperate for the roommates approval and her love and her life that she goes insane, copying and flattering and competing with her. ever the shitty actress, she tries to emulate her, but comes off as manic and creepy. and maybe her roommate is nice enough to not completely shun her, recognizing that she's struggling. maybe in dees mind they actually are becoming friends when her roommate asks things like "are you okay?"

and dee has to talk about her plan with dennis because he's the only person who would Get It. and she makes it sound like it's almost working. dennis feels jealous and worried and threatened that maybe dee might actually be seen as normal, especially when she gets her back brace off in the third year. so dennis fucks her roommate, more of a show that he owns and controls each and every pathetic part of dee’s life than anything else. and so that dee knows she'll never be as good as him, she'll never as easily charm people as dennis does. (or at least he tells her he does).

to prove that To Someone dee is Good Enough, and so desperate for attention, dee (who's been groomed all this time) enters a sexual relationship with her professor dr. gainer. she tells herself she has the power in it, that she seduced him ("he didn't molest me. i had sex with him 'cause i wanted to.") and she has a mental break, because the thing she told herself held her back from being loved (her back brace) is finally gone by now and yet she still feels like a monster, and the only scrap of "love" she can get is from her professor.

and then she can't take the fact that she can steal her roommates clothes, can emulate her sexual prowess (in dee's own fucked up, delusional way), and still neither be well liked like her nor be loved by her. so maybe dee will always be a monster. so dee tried to burn her roommate in her bed, because she represented the promise of change and popularity, and that promise was a lie and dee's effort was for nothing. and she's institutionalized.

and i think there was kind of a falling out between the twins and their parents, because barbara wants to abandon dee but dennis can't help but visit her. and frank doesn't even step foot in a place that reminds him of his traumatic childhood, and avoids dee even more than he used to because she is his childhood mirror image. so the family becomes even more fractured and estranged.

and maybe dee becomes medicated and slowly crawls her way halfway to normal by the first season (her acting classes are so well-adjusted, taking part in healthy hobbies of her!). until her father comes back into her life and everything falls apart <3

side note, even though dee is crushingly lonely-"I just got a cat 'cause I wanted something to hang out with. I don't have, you know, a roommate or anything, and I don't really have anyone to talk to..."-AND she struggles to pay rent whenever frank cuts her off, i hc that she refused to ever get a roommate in particular female roommate again after this because both her internalized misogyny got worse and she was afraid of what would happen (what she would do) again.

do you have "treatment resistant depression" or are you just fundamentally living a life that would make anyone depressed?

are you just dealing with abuse, poverty, and oppression? are you just dealing with a lifetime of trauma? do we just live in a society where peoples basic needs are neglected, and the completely understanble response to that is pathologized? on purpose? so that it's just an individual problem and people arent Trying Enough... so nothing about the system has to change?

...do you have "treatment resistant depression," or do you just need real community, support, resources, and protection?

i don’t necessarily believe in mind/body dualism but i am sick of nd and mentally ill physically abled people acting like our struggles are the exact same and like they have the authority to speak over us on topics that don’t really affect them
