All living beings on earth possess knowledge, wisdom, and thoughts. It’s true that some individuals possess more of these qualities than others. When we observe the current events in the light of the day, don’t we also see these qualities diminishing within humans? Such a suspicion arises. In Vijayawada, five deaths occurred in the family of Dr. Srinivas. He brutally murdered his wife, two children, and mother-in-law before killing himself to end his own life. Even The family is a well-educated,his father retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, brother working as a judge in Hyderabad, couldn’t find a solution within his own family and chose to end their lives with immature decisions, ending nearly a hundred years of life prematurely. Temporary remedies for temporary pains… Suicide is no solution in problems of today’s society, which is deteriorating rapidly…
If there are troubles, shouldn’t we confront them?
Reasons prevalent in publicly… 1. Debts, 2. Hospital management, 3. Differences with relatives. Such situations are causing turmoil among the people of the our country. Furthermore, isn’t everyone expecting actions like Dr Srinivas too ? Let’s now focus on the issue concerning Dr Srinivas Nayak.
Studying medicine itself is difficult, and conducting medical practice after completing medical education is even more challenging. It’s known to all doctors that emerging from a heavy debt burden is no small feat. Dr Srinivas, who was under debts, resorted to ending his life from the unbearable stress. Apart from debts, the heavy pressure of responsibilities can also be overwhelming. Joining hands with friends as partners to relieve oneself from debts, like Dr Srinivas did, could be a good solution. However, even within such arrangements, if there are problems, and if they aren’t resolved properly, it’s better to seek more options. It’s not just humans who suffer in this creation; even animals can’t bear the burden without help. Trying to find refuge amidst the waves of troubles, standing by the riverside, searching for support from others, Dr Srinivas was indeed a noble person who tried to merge into the mainstream while being swept away by the current of difficulties. When there are troubles, it’s a wise decision to seek solutions rather than succumbing to the belief that troubles will resolve on their own. Dr. Srinivas had the courage to face the troubles he encountered in his life with patience and sacrifice, not just for himself but also for his family members. To what extent is it reasonable to assume that those who believe in intellectuals are doing good deeds for society in the face of such trials ?
Why is there so much negligence towards mental health?
Many physicians in the field of mental health lack sufficient understanding and expertise on various mental disorders and issues. Some doctors also advertise against mental health disorders, highlighting the adverse effects and unnecessarily creating fear among patients, even though such fear-mongering is not appropriate. . It’s often unknown to many that mental distress can be as debilitating as physical ailments, which can result in a lack of empathy and attention from healthcare professionals. This ignorance, coupled with negligence in addressing psychological subjects during medical education, can be detrimental and even humiliating. Failing to recognize the gravity of mental pressures and not seeking mental healthcare promptly can exacerbate the situation. It’s a grave oversight that Dr. Srinivas Nayak, despite being knowledgeable in other areas, neglected the importance of mental health, which should be considered equally vital for both individuals and society. If doctors and scientists gain a better understanding of mental health, it wouldn’t just benefit individuals but also contribute to societal well-being. Therefore, it’s crucial for mental health professionals to advocate for societal awareness and push for mental health issues to be prioritized within community..
