  • Impulse control and addiction disorders: While some people who indulge in their impulses due to drug use, immaturity or plain orneriness – there are others who may simply have deficient impulse control functioning. Individuals who struggle with impulse control may desperately want to control their urges, but they can’t just simply do so when they want. In the course of seeking help for such a situation, some of these individuals may be diagnosed with an impulse control disorder.
  • Personality disorders: Personality is the way of thinking, feeling and behaving that makes a person different from other people. An individual’s personality is influenced by experiences, environment (surroundings, life situations) and inherited characteristics. A personality disorder is a way of thinking, feeling and behaving that deviates from the expectations of the culture, causes distress or problems functioning, and lasts over time.
  • Way of thinking about oneself and others
  • Way of responding emotionally
  • Way of relating to other people
  • Way of controlling one’s behavior
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD): is an anxiety disorder in which people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). The repetitive behaviors, such as hand washing, checking on things or cleaning, can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and social interactions.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) is a mental health problem that some people develop after experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening event, like combat, a natural disaster, a car accident, or sexual assault.

It’s normal to have upsetting memories, feel on edge, or have trouble sleeping after this type of event. At first, it may be hard to do normal daily activities, like go to work, go to school, or spend time with people you care about. But most people start to feel better after a few weeks or months.

  • Stress response syndromes (formerly called adjustment disorders):Stress response syndromes occur when a person develops emotional or behavioral symptoms in response to a stressful event or situation. The stressors may include natural disasters, such as an earthquake or tornado, events or crises, such as a car accident or the diagnosis of a major illness, or interpersonal problems, such as a divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job, or a problem with substance abuse. Stress response syndromes usually begin within three months of the event or situation and ends within six months after the stressor stops or is eliminated.

Dissociative disorders: Dissociative disorders involve problems with memory, identity, emotion, perception, behavior and sense of self. Dissociative symptoms can potentially disrupt every area of mental functioning.

Examples of dissociative symptoms include the experience of detachment or feeling as if one is outside one’s body, and loss of memory or amnesia. Dissociative disorders are frequently associated with previous experience of trauma.

What to do  ?? Help is available.

Students were taught about what to do in such circumstance and their many doubts were cleared at the spot by allowing them to ask any question related to mental health.
They were encouraged to speak about their mental health issues with friend, family member, teacher and psychologist or counselor.
If still they need an active intervention they can visit to MINDROOT (Dr D. S. Poonia) or another psychiatrist for further help.
