Hallucination



Hallucination a psychological disease in which individual perceive of something which is not present .it could be visual auditory olfactory tactile and many others. A small amount of hallucinations is natural in normal person but severe hallucination lead to severe effects for the patients. It occurs due to depression, sadness, dehydration or hunger. A friend of mine was affected with hallucination firstly she used to see a person which other didn't see she took it light but it got severe and worse in the extreme stage she used to talk to him .People consider that there was some black magic on her parents took her to different ulmas and Baba ji but the result was zero I discuss the issue with my brother he told me to take her to psychiatrist but the major problem was to convince her parents for that after tough Phase. We (A group of friends) convince her parents Dr. Jibran a very competent doctor gave her cognitive behavioral therapy counselling session and some medication within a year she was very much better and now she is taking some little therapies according to doctor she would be alright within a few months.
One of the largest faced in treating the Hallucination is that people are hesitant to admit that they have this problem. So it’s better that family members, friends, and colleagues to educate themselves so that they can better understand and take good care of the patient. There are some ways to treat Hallucination like:

  • .      Engage your patient
  • .      Develop coping strategies
  • .      Ignoring the voices
  •       Medications
  •       Singing songs
One can treat Hallucination by themselves by first understanding the nature of it for example hearing the voices comes under Auditory Hallucination, seeing lights comes under Visual Hallucination etc.
Secondly continuously checking temperature because high temperature leads to Hallucination. If fever gets high like above 140 degree Celsius then one should immediately go to hospital or to consult the doctor. If high fever occurs then drink more fluids like water or juices and regularly monitor the temperature. During this patient should take more rest and sleep better.
So with proper medication, support and care of people patient’s condition gets better.

Depression

Depression is basically a mood disorder which occur as a result of stress and which disturb us mentally’ physically as well as socially. Depression occurs in episodes, its one episode help us to predict about future episodes. More than 50% individual sufferings from depression have chances of recurrence. Depressive episodes include depressed mood’ fatigability’ aggression’ lack of confidence and lose of interest in life. Currently, young generation seems to face depression due to number of factors which include exam related stress’ confidence issues’ and unemployment. One of the most common cause of depression now a days, which i am going to discuss in my blog is weight complex among young generation. The trend of being dissatisfied with body weight and behaviors of weight control increases the risk of depression among young adults. The individual starts feeling worthless, incapable and incompetent, He might thinks that everybody has a taunting or pity attitude towards him and as a result he start losing interest in normal daily activities, have low self esteem and an overall feeling of inadequacy, feeling of hopelessness, and difficulty with productivity. These feelings create negative impact on relationships, employment, education and other daily activities. The two main eating disorders which effects a weight conscious individual are Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa, these two are more commonly occurring among young girls, Bulimia Nervosa is a condition in which girls are suffering from stress of not gaining weight as a result they goes in depression and start following abnormal cycles of eating large amount of food in short period of time, and then get rid of this food by vomiting to consume more food, whereas, Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by fear of gaining weight as a result individual starts dieting or skipping meal of two times, thus in this war of weight gaining or losing, a serious change in mood occur which leads to depression and that cause disruption to life activities. After my final exams of BBA 7th semester I start internship at a private school, I was teaching 2nd grade students. As we all know that not every student has same mental level but in the race of first and last we all destroy our child’s personality. So there was a kid in my class who was middle child of their parents, he was so different from his others classmate, he was so shy and reserve, he don’t participate in any extracurricular activity nor he play with his mates during break time. After first assessment he didn’t do good in his exams, he was fail in 3 out of 6 subjects, at parent teacher meeting when I meet with his parents they seem so sensible but when we start discussion  about his progress and behavior they get aggressive and start cursing their child, they are comparing him with his elder brother who was in class 4th and was a bright student, then I got the reason behind my student’s failure and his reserved behavior, basically he was suffering from depression! I check his nursery and 1 class result and that was more than average, but due to His parents attitude of continuously comparing him with his brother he start losing his identity and was become a depressed soul, he don’t find any way to get out of all this and as a result he grades are affected badly as they were before. After know about his psyche I call a meeting with his parents and request them to understand their child mental state, treat him with love and care and don’t compare him with anybody otherwise they will lost him, my advise effects their heart and they promise to co-operate, and I start helping the child on my end I gave him home tuition, with my attention and his parents love he start doing good in studies and he got 3rd position in his final assessment and hence proved when there is a will, there is a way!
