The pursuit of mental health has always been misinterpreted by people. Dr. Ganesh Kumar J began the session with a discussion on mind, emotion and consciousness that helped the students understand the perception of different mental health issues and their causes. He further spoke on the poor awareness about the symptoms of mental illness, myths and stigma related to it. The speaker also provided insights on signs of distress, especially among students as well as sparked a discussion among students by pointing out examples from their daily life. Moreover, he also briefed us on the levels and structure of the mind, which helped in a better understanding of our actions and behavior. The speaker also threw some light on coping strategies to prevent distress with an elaborate discussion on how to help people in distress.
