This is an important moment.
Equality is not part of MBBS curriculum. Issues faced by LGBTQ+ community due to ignorance of doctors will hopefully be thing of the past.
I have been part of this effort with my colleague Bindumadhav Khire.
Pl read on -
This steps removed all the references pointing towards disease, disorder etc.
Established variations in sexuality and preferences as normal human sexuality.

MBBS students will get a chance to learn -
1. How to conduct an interview when sexuality is being discussed
2. How to do educative work with family
3. How to identify distress and how to help
4. Protecting vulnerable people from illegal conversion therapies etc.
This will make sure that MBBS doctors will be adequately ready to practice without prejudice.

My sincere thanks to Dr Indrajit Khandekar, member of NMC committee on LGBTQ + issues for taking the initiative.

As a psychiatrist, I can't claim knowledge of world politics. What I understand a bit is about personalities and systems of people called society.

So when I hear people talking about "personalities" of leaders of nations, here is what comes to my mind.
#Thread
Some leaders are lucky to have right pedigree, being there at inflection point of history and some sense of opportunity.

They are not "fight and conquer" leaders. They pretty much get coronated as leaders.

If they are in a democracy or lead a country that is irrelevant
to larger forces of the world, they are generous, benevolent, liberal and talk of "integration" etc.

If such leaders are from a military dominated country, they need to be ruthless and cruel to section opposing them but generous and friendly to neutrals and supporters.

#Hijab
As a father of two young adults, I wanted to know their opinion about ongoing hijab issue.

What I heard from them was a great relief to me as a father.

They came to a conclusion that it is a multilayered question so answer changes
according to the specific question you decide to solve. And answers may even appear contradictory to each other. Some levels -
1. Who should decide what people choose to wear?
2. At what age do people become independent adults?
3. Is religion forced on children?
4. How does our constitution protect kids from religious compulsions of family (e.g. anti blood products views of certain sects)?
5. Do we live a segregated country? Is it inevitable?
6. How do children (majority and minority) look at other children practicing their religion?

Thanks for voting.

Personal freedom makes space for religion. Does it work the other way around?
Most people believe that religion has a role to draw boundaries of personal freedom and prevent human race from descending into hedonistic chaos.
Ethical and co-operative beahviour actually predates religion.

#violence
In this tweet I asked about need of legal action in cases of child-on-parent-violence.

Most answers are representative of our social beliefs.
Fellow CAP @VinayakChildPsy supported my stand. Gratitude.

Let me explain -
Myths -
1. Family conditions push boys to violence in "good" families
2. Violent adolescents need help from counsellors and psychiatrists and not be reported to police
3. If mother uses corporal punishment on a child, he is somehow justified in beating her up later
4. Juveniles get away with "anything". Law does not get involved at all.

When you feel like giving advice to kids, few things may help -
1. Don't. Yes. You read it right. Don't give advice. Because that is all they receive all the time. They have no way to know that your advice is the one to follow.
2. You actually walking the talk MAY help. contd..
But don't count too much on it. As there are literally millions at your level of success in life.
3. Children are acutely aware of how time changes and requirements change so your advice may seem (justifyably) outdated.
4. They look around and live in a world created, maintained and ruled by adults. Does it look awesome?
5. They see you all the time and know you better than you do yourself. And they are harsh judges.

So unless a child really begs for advice, don't give.

Young people appearing for high intensity entrance exams like NEET, JEE, NATA, KVPY need mental health help sometimes.

I have worked with them since last 20 years as their psychiatrist and mental coach.

Here is what I have seen over 2 decades of work -
#Thread
1. Exams are getting more competitive each year and require more work from "above average" students
2. A small fraction at top e.g. 700+ NEET score, top 200 of JEE, etc are a class apart. They are gifted with 🧠 that work very differently.
They have intuitive understanding of subject matter, they make connections easily, they have inhuman ability to focus for a few hours (4-6 per day) and do 20 hours worth of work in that time. They just need teacher to point to a 🎯 and they get it.
Their work is effortless
