Identifying the Causes Behind the Stigma about Indian Families for the Practice of Psychologists and Psychiatrists Stigma related to mental health as well as the lack of willingness among Indian families towards consulting psychologists and psychiatrists is the result of interlinked cultural, social, and historical factors:
Cultural and Social Factors: Mental illness is always a social humiliation, a disgrace, that is branded with a sign of awkwardness. Sometimes they attribute it to a consciousness that flows from a satanic boiling up or due to the rebound effect of one’s ill deeds.
-Family Shame: Currently, mental health treatment is considered a stigma by the family members.
-Cultural Taboos: Mostly, people find it culturally wrong to talk about their mental health hence the general trend is to keep quiet about it. Ignorance of mental health conditions and its treatment options are also among the misconceptions and fears that are responsible for this case.
Religious Beliefs: Some religions may cultural or traditional explanations of mental health as occasions of divine interferences or disturbances, which would see some individuals running to their pastors for cure instead of professionals.
Historical Factors:
Colonial Legacy: The extended colonial rule also brought in the western systems in the treatment of physical ailment but the mental illness was considered as imprisonment and enslavement.
Traditional Healing Practices: Allopathic treatment of mental health issues may be rejected in favor of traditional treatments, which are popular in India and many other countries. Practical Issues:
Accessibility: It is not enough mental health professionals, and where there is the scarcity of mental health professionals is in the rural areas where people cannot afford care.
Cost: The cost of therapy and medication is too high and so beyond the reach of most families for it to be implemented.
Language Barrier: The following paper aims to argue that incompetent communication between patients and mental health professionals is as a result of language.

The issues that have confronted philosophy and psychology with respect to the mind-body problem have endured for an extended period of time. By the empiricist view, there is a mind that exists separately from the body and both of these interact with one another. Rationalism, on the other hand, believes that these two are different aspects of the same phenomenon and that the mind is able to control the body by merely thinking of doing so.
One can also analyze the mind-body relation using both of these tendencies. Empiricism leans more towards seeking for a material base to carry out mental processes while rationalism seeks to emphasize more on the mental aspect particularly in the understanding of body activities. In order to speak in terms of mind and body integration, the full spectrum of understanding both directions, that indeed interplay exists between the two, should come to light.

It is ingrained in the training of nurses to be compassionate and patient with their patients, even when the latter happens to be rude or difficult. They understand that illness alters one’s feelings and personality. When it comes to such events, here is how they would act-
Empathy and Compassion: Nurses understand the psychology of the patient and seek to understand the patient’s emotions and feelings.
Effective Communication: They communicate in a clear and soft tone where the patient feels comfortable and all his fears are calmed.
-Patient comfort: The nurse first ensures that the patient is comfortable with the setup.
-Personalized care: They have such ability that allows them to develop the strategy bearing in mind the individual and preferences and requirements each patient has.
-Dietary consideration: while feeding a patient, they take into account on what the patient must not, what he or she likes, and his or her health condition. They might have to contact a nutritionist for the healthy feeding of the patient.
Healthcare providers bear the brunt of mental weariness and boredom arising from the situations they endure; it however, comes with the expectation that they do not show or act on these pressures within the confines of their profession. They’re deemed as poised members of that profession. Compassionate care, care giving and presence to every patient remain the priority and the challenge.

Medication and Life Skills Programs Relevant to Addressing Malnutrition: Focussing on Daniel McLaren’s Context
This means that by investing in agriculture, the government and other bodies may:
Promote and develop sustainable agriculture and crop diversification, as well as support irrigation services.
Bring additional resources to the health systems through availability of healthcare including ante-natal, and post-natal care thus helping children grow and develop adequately and timely.
Incorporate food security and nutrition components in social protection mechanisms through conditional cash transfers.
-This will include education and awareness on nutrition and nutrition awareness generattion, where the society is helped to make the right choices in food.
-There needs to be global sharing of ways and means of combating malnutrition – sharing of ways and means that have worked in other countries.
-Assist in mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change, especially with regard to agriculture and food supply so as to ensure that people are well nourished in the future.
These have to be focused on. If these factors are attended to, governments and other organizations will find a way toward a future that will be free of malnutrition.

There are a number of steps that could be taken to achieve the universal increased accessibility and affordability of services for mental health care.
-Telehealth Services: Developing such services as therapists providing online therapy services will target geographical challenges thus making the services cheaper.
-Community Mental Health Centers: The setting up of such centers will ensure low cost and easy access to mental health services even in hard to reach locations where such services are scarce.
-Insurance Coverage: The provision of adequate mental health coverage within the insurance plans will enable many people who feel the need to go to therapy, to be able to afford it.
-Government Subsidies: Much as institutions provide mental services, the government can step in to provide subsidies in order to lessen the affordability of the services to targeted groups such as the poor.
-Workplace Wellness Programs: Where mental health interventions or treatments are provided in the organizations, it creates a tendency to seek help and helps lessen the barriers.
-Mental Health Literacy: Mental health promotion can enhance help seeking behavior and reduce stigma.
-Volunteer-Based Services: Non-profits and volunteers can fill the gap by providing much needed subsidized or free mental health counseling services.
-Peer Support Groups: These can be very helpful as such individuals can offer each other support through sharing their challenges.
The assistance that everyone is looking for can be made possible by breaking these barriers with these techniques.

Cities are urban regions which harbor large volumes of economic, social, and political interactions. They tend to be the zones of productivity and creativity. However, a large volume of people within a narrow area poses threats to the potential outbreak of diseases. For this reason, urban planning and the construction of infrastructure facilities have proved crucial in prevention from the spread of infectious diseases.
Some of the critical ones include are:
1. Improved Sanitation Infrastructure: – There should be proper sewage disposal systems and sewage plants and proper storm water drainage systems to avoid the risk of water-borne diseases. – Proper collection, transport, and disposal of the solid wastes will help eliminate or at least minimize the chances of vector-borne diseases. – In the presence of a barrier of disease-causing organisms, a safe supply of water is an essential factor in health.
2. Urban Planning and Zoning: – In regulating the density and the zoning of certain parts of the city, it helps in reducing incidences of population explosions that lead to settlement patterns known as slums, which are unhygienic and prone to diseases. – The idea of provision of open spaces in the urban planning is yet another factor which relaxes the minds of city dwellers by enhancing the fresh air available to them and improvement of their mental health as well.
3. Public Health Infrastructure: Health Facility: Ensuring an adequate number of hospitals and clinics for diagnosing, treating, and controlling diseases. Health Education and Promotion : Health promotion activities can improve practice of hygiene, uptake of vaccines, and awareness on diseases control.
4. Community Participation: Community Involvement- it means that the community is involved in present issues and has a say in certain decisions made.
5. Social Mobilization: Improves outcome levels through community participation and population involvement in sanitation and hygiene activities.
These will then see healthier livable cities, less suffering from infectious diseases among urban dwellers thereby raising the general standard of living of such individuals.
