Copy of The Connection Between Mental Health and Sexual Well-being 2

December holds profound importance in the global health calendar, marking several pivotal observances. World AIDS Awareness Day on December 1st stands as a reminder of the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS, emphasizing the need for education and support for those affected. On December 3rd, World Disability Day sheds light on the rights and dignity of people with disabilities, advocating for inclusivity and accessibility. Lastly, December 10th, Human Rights Day, calls attention to the fundamental rights of individuals worldwide.

At Shanti Home, our commitment goes beyond the observance of these global health days. We stand as a beacon for mental health rights advocacy, championing the cause of those impacted by mental health challenges. Our multidisciplinary approach extends to comprehensive medical, psychiatric, and psychological treatment services. We’re devoted to not only addressing acute conditions but also ensuring rehabilitation and day-care services for chronic disorders, promoting holistic mental well-being.

In the spirit of December’s global health observances, we recognize the essential role mental health plays in overall health and vow to advocate for mental health rights at every step.

The Intersection of Global Observances and Mental Health

World AIDS Awareness Day (December 1st):

The intersection of mental health and HIV/AIDS is significant, given the psychological impact of the diagnosis, stigma, and managing a chronic illness. Mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety are prevalent among those living with HIV/AIDS, necessitating comprehensive care.

World Disability Day (December 3rd):

Individuals with disabilities often face higher rates of mental health challenges due to societal stigmas and challenges in accessing quality care. Mental health concerns, including depression and PTSD, are common among those with disabilities, necessitating specialized mental health support.

Human Rights Day (December 10th):

Advocacy for mental health rights is an integral aspect of human rights. Ensuring mental health rights involves fighting against discrimination, promoting access to quality care, and upholding dignity and autonomy for individuals with mental health challenges.

Shanti Home’s Initiatives: Bridging Mental Health Gaps in Global Observances

Inclusive Care: Providing specialized care programs that consider the mental health needs of those facing discrimination or disability, ensuring comprehensive support.

Testimonials

I realized I had bipolar disorder when my son was about 6 months old. I was feeling very good at one time, able to accomplish so much. I slept little and still had so much energy. My mind was constantly going. I would get upset easily at my husband for small things and be a different me infact unusual me. I finally was reading an article about bipolar and what the symptoms were. I recognized that this was me. I went to my friend and she suggested me to prefer Shanti Home. Then Shanti Home gave me with the right guidance and medication to help me be balanced.

I am Garima Bajaj daughter of Mrs. Santosh Kapoor My mom is the best mother a person can ever dream of. She is a kind soft-spoken, humble and loving lady. My mother had 2 daughters me and my younger sister Meenu Kapoor, who is in the USA. As a child my whole world revolved around her, she was there for me every time I needed her. She taught us to be good human beings, and never to give hope before trying. Whatever I am today, I am because of her. It is difficult for me to find words to express what she is to me. She ran a primary wing school, that school was doing quite well, looked after us, her husband and she did all her tasks with perfection. My father died when she was 56 years, and that was a major setback in her life. From the outside she looked strong as she had to take care of her younger daughter, she had to marry her, but inside she took a lot of tension, which I think affected her memory loss problem. After my sister got married, she was left all alone, that thought that all have gone leaving me alone was a major cause of her Dementia problem. I sold her house in Amritsar and bought her a flat in Gurgaon near my house so that she does not feel lonely, she never complained but she missed Amritsar, which also triggered her memory loss problem. She was not able to take care of her house, so I brought her to live at my place. Initially, I was not aware of the disease and the problems related to them, as the disease progressed problems related to the disease came up, and her behavior changed, she became hyper, was restless the whole day, and repeated the same thing again and again. Then I came to know about Shanti Home. It was a place for dementia patients. I talked to the doctors they were all very helpful to me. They suggested I keep her there for some period as these patients need a lot of care and monitoring which is not possible at home, so I kept her there, she was given good care at Shanti Home, her behavior also improved, there the patients are made to do a lot of activities which keep their mind involved which is very helpful for them, they have a specific area for these brain activities, this is a boom for these patients, I especially thank all the doctors at Shanti Home for their help and support, it has been a great help to me, I think Govt must also take some steps to help fight against this deadly disease.

In November 2014, I had the privilege to visit Shanti Home Psychiatric Care and Rehabilitation Center. I was very keen on this visit and it was a very pleasant experience for me. The Rehab home is very well equipped with trained staff, a fully functional kitchen serving nutritious meals (planned by nutritionist) to residents, surrounded by a well-maintained garden. The center has lots of activities and the daily schedule is carefully planned to provide stimulation to enhance cognition, expedite healing, teaching vocational skills so that after discharge from home the person is able to fulfill a useful role in society. Activities also included personality and linguistic skills development along with yoga, aerobics, etc. skillful use of music therapy; physiotherapy, etc. has also been incorporated. I was very happy to see the availability of doctors round the clock which ensured proper medical care. Skilled psychologists, psychotherapists, and Occupational Therapists are providing their best under the guidance of learned and eminent psychiatrists from Delhi. But the thing which made the biggest impact on my mind and heart was the human touch at the center which could be seen in the overall attitude of the staff and the environment of the rehab home. I was pleasantly surprised that even the supporting staff was attending to residents with respect and was trying their best to put a smile on residents’ faces. And then I realized why it can truly be called a (rehab) HOME. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to visit this home and spending a few hours with its loving family

Our son was suffering from Schizophrenia, and depression and was a chain smoker. We had been to many psychiatrists, psychologists, and healers over the last six years. Finally, we admitted him in Shanti Home, Greater Noida. His recovery has been phenomenal in just three months and our son seems a ‘totally new person to us. We owe deep gratitude to the team under Dr. Rupali for providing us hope when all around us was gloomy. We have cherished our relationship with Shanti Home and with each of the doctors, psychologists, and all. While we will still be coming back regularly for counseling, the bond of trust will be everlasting. Thanks again to the entire team and with best wishes.
