The consoling words of people around make you feel more lost

Have you ever observed or if you have experienced it yourself?  Got ready to go to some dinner party and just then. When you are about to leave your home, all of a sudden some unpleasant thought just struck your mind and your mood and energy level instantly fell down to zero. You were all happy and joyful but all of a sudden with that one thought you were a totally different person. 

Have you ever thought about it? How and why did it happen to you? 

Or you think it’s normal and happens with every other person.

As you have already found yourself surrounded by many people who tell you that, 

• It is okay!
• Don’t worry! 
• Calm down! 
• You can do it! 
• You are fine! 
• Pull yourself together! 
• Don’t make it a big deal!
• Relax and be normal! 

And many other such consoling words. But deep down you know that something is not right. There is something that just doesn't feel good and that something has the full capacity to jolt everything in your life upside down. Apparently, everything looks perfect to everyone around you but still, everything for you is in utter chaos. This is the worst feeling ever as it encapsulates you in your own being. And you become the prisoner of your mind, sometimes you lose interest in everything and you also feel like dying. You must have witnessed many suicide cases which occurred due to such mental conditions. If a mental condition can drag and persuade a person to commit suicide then it is certainly a very serious problem. And should be addressed immediately by psychiatrists in Pakistan, as you can be suffering from serious depression, anxiety, or some other mental disorder.

What is the difference between Anxiety and Depression?

Most of the mental issues occur due to the feeling or sense of unknowing and helplessness or sometimes knowing too much. There are multiple types of mental disorders but I am majorly going to put light on two kinds. 

• Anxiety
• Depression     

Anxiety

Anxiety is the fear of the unknown, the fear of the future, what is going to happen? What will happen if something you are opting for doesn’t go the way you thought? What kind of situation would you be stuck in then? And many such questions arise in your head regarding your future which makes you feel anxious. Basically, if a person lives in the future, over thinks and worries a lot about the coming life and time. Then he has anxiety, in severe cases, the anxiety may get too drastic and the person may have panic attacks. Anxiety comes and goes quickly, almost every person has experienced it at some point in his life.   

Depression 

Depression is something that is slow-paced, it takes time to effect and this is different than anxiety. Mostly depression is caused by events of the past in the patient’s life. For instance, if some bad incident has occurred. That affected him in such a drastic way that the person lost his hope and desire to live. Depression takes time to develop and as it comes slowly, it goes slowly as well. Most people who are depressed get anxious as well and so the people suffering from anxiety can get depressed. They mostly come together but that is not necessary and a person can solely be an anxiety patient or suffering from depression in either of the cases visiting competent psychiatrists in Pakistan is a must.  

The rate of mental problems is alarmingly increasing in Pakistan

There has been a massive increase in mental-related problems in Pakistan. Most of the people who are suffering from mental issues are youth. There are countless factors that affect the mental health of young people. The alarming part is sometimes they don’t even know about it. Even if they know they are not encouraged to talk about it. Rather many of them are ashamed to speak and get help. Well, in the past few years the mindset of the people has changed and people seek refuge and help from counselors or psychiatrists in Pakistan.

The taboos related to mental health have been brought down in Pakistan

Not so long ago even talking about such problems was referred to as taboo but now things have changed greatly. There is a separate psychiatric department in every big hospital in the country be it in any city. 

Spring Clinic running under MASH is making a great difference in Multan

Multan, which is the 7th largest city of Pakistan with a population of over 1.8 million has many state-of-the-art hospitals operating and Mukhtar A. Sheikh Hospital is one of them. The hospital also known as MASH is a tertiary health care unit. Has every department is working to facilitate the natives. The hospital is playing an effective role in the health department of the country. By uplifting the living standards of the people of south Punjab. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the hospital has opened a clinic with the name Spring Clinic. This clinic is providing services in treating mental illnesses which were very difficult to do initially. As the people were not ready for it.     

Spring Clinic not only cured patients but created awareness among them

The city of Multan is surrounded by many small towns and has many villages in its suburbs. The majority of the people here are not very educated and hence they have a lack exposure and awareness. Convincing such people to visit the experienced and learned practicing psychiatrists or psychologists in Multan for their mental ailments is indeed a tough task, in which the Spring Clinic has succeeded.

The biggest hurdle was that the people were not ready to see it as a problem. Spring Clinic stood victorious in performing this herculean task by telling them the benefits of visiting these psychiatrists or psychologists in Multan and also told them the drawbacks of not visiting them. The Spring Clinic lessened the hesitation of these people and now the clinic takes credit for curing a number of patients in the vicinity and has been a sigh of relief for them. The Spring Clinic has the most competent psychiatrists and psychologists in Multan practicing.

You must be thinking, what is the difference between a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist? 

The major difference between Psychiatrists and Psychologists. A Psychiatrist is eligible and has the license to give medication to his patients. Whereas a psychologist is not eligible to do that. The psychologist treats the patient only with therapies. They talk to the patients and try to figure out and resolve their problems. Both psychiatrists and psychologists work in collaboration. For instance, if a patient’s condition cannot be cured with Verbal therapies.

Then the psychologist would recommend him to the psychiatrist. Who would medically treat him? And similarly, if a patient needs therapies and visits the psychiatrist then he would recommend him to the psychologist. Many of the associations are also formed in Pakistan which greatly contribute to curing the suffering patients, all the best psychologists and psychiatrists in Pakistan have joined these associations and play an active role in helping and curing the patients.
