Videos on Everyday Mental Health - Recognizing Signs of Depression & Why a Suicide Affects People Depression is a serious but a treatable condition. It manifests as debilitating sadness, self-critical thinking, loss of interest in pleasurable activities, anxiety, irritability, and a cluster of other psychological and physical symptoms, the most alarming of which is suicidal ideation and attempts to end one's life. In this video, I talk about recognizing symptoms of depression, how to distinguish sadness from depression, how a family/friend can recognize signs of depression in their loved one, and also a mention of the celebrity's suicide that rocked the nation this month.

How can we reframe the lockdown situation and make the most of the opportunities to nurture ourselves and our relationships? How can we address the "worst case scenario" images that lurk in our minds? Simple tips on dealing with the lockdown are spoken about. This video is a recreation of an interactive session with an audience online. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588036846353-KFCKMVBYE7ZAXKPLLG12/image-asset.octet-stream YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588036984801-66G0TS53YKBYGQPRSERF/image-asset.jpeg YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health - EP-2, Everyday Mental Health: Anticipatory Grief and Dealing with Catastrophizing. In episode 2 of everyday mental health, I spoke about anticipatory grief and the how our mind conjures up worst case scenarios of a future that seems unpredictable, chaotic, and seemingly beyond our control. The key take away points are how to differentiate between concern and worry, and strategies and tips to cope with distressing thoughts that result in stress, anxiety, sadness, and any forms of distress. This episode is a recreation of a live virtual session with an interactive audience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588037401177-F2JHDIV3SAN64BNC8KRG/image-asset.jpeg YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health - EP 3 - Everyday Mental Health: Addressing Well being While We Work From Home - by Dr. Divya Parashar In this episode I address the importance of having a structured routine while we work from home as well as establishing psychological and physical boundaries between work and our personal lives. Tips on overall well-being including suggested exercises for pause breaks and health are suggested. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588037982518-0DHH4OT7YMGUHQN71GAH/image-asset.jpeg YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health - Everyday Mental Health EP 4: Relationships & Communication during the Lockdown - Dr. Divya Parashar Some families have reported struggling during the lockdown, and some are thriving. How is it that the same trigger/situation is yielding such different outcomes? It’s the way we are responding to crises and are rolling with the punches. It’s the way we are reminding ourselves of what is truly important. It’s the way we are cultivating habits of patience, empathy, resilience, and effective communication and conflict resolution skills. In Part 1 of Episode 4, I would like to have you reflect on some aspects of the lockdown and how it’s affecting us, and talk about common issues families across are facing. Of course, I end with strategies on how to cope. Keep watching this space for Part 2 of episode 4 on Communication & Conflict Resolution (a must for every relationship to thrive) Feel free to share with people who may benefit! Stay safe, stay well, stay calm. PS: These are common issues, which I, as a psychologist feel are milder in comparison to the rise in domestic violence cases we are also hearing about. Those need intervention now, and must not be tolerated. If you know families that are really struggling, please act as first responders and get them some help through the various mental health organizations, counsellors, and psychologists who are volunteering their time for crisis intervention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588038118822-KRDXT6QJXM7X9DBTHK05/image-asset.jpeg YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health - Everyday Mental Health EP 4 (Part 2): Relationships & Communication - Dr. Divya Parashar In this episode I address the importance of effective communication in building strong and thriving relationships. The common mistakes people make in communication (for e.g., operating from faulty assumptions, being defensive, not listening effectively, being angry, flaws in our intent for communicating) are highlighted. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588038231196-3T0WD4TK4O6B0XU1OGO1/image-asset.jpeg YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health - Everyday Mental Health EP 4 (Part- 3): Obstacles to Effective Communication & Conflict Resolution In continuation from Episode 4-Part 2, the third and the concluding segment talks about the common obstacles to effective communication (for example, bringing past fights and issues into the current one, predicting behavior based on mistrust and assumptions, polarized language, and being angry and charged up which further flares things up). Tips for effective conflict resolution are discussed in the end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1588038367037-I8BILBW9VLH7I7SNUITM/image-asset.jpeg YouTube Videos on Everyday Mental Health - Episode 5: Taking care of our elderly (in HINDI) - With Dr. Divya Parashar This video is for our elderly and their caregivers.

My mission also is to enable people to find their own North Star, their internal compasses, and the vehicles that carry them forward towards their aspirations.

I use my own experiential learning in dealing with suffering, pain and injuries to enable others to perform at their peak. My inspiration to persist in the face or challenges is best reflected by quoting David Goggins from his book Can’t Hurt Me, “Don’t stop when you are tired. Stop when you are done.” Aren’t we all seeking that ability to be tenacious, resilient, and persistent? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ca446bbf8135a7f8658cf89/1561405577451-UDWQLIUJ5XV9MFHUCGIV/PhD+degree.jpg Home - EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND I obtained my Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA in 2004.
