There are various situations where one would require the help of medico-legal service and comprehensive reporting related to the same. Such reports may require being written for employers, in situations when something has been done wrong. It may also be needed for a solicitor, police or for the insurance companies of individuals. The advice and expertise of a medico-legal expert are absolutely necessary at such times. This is helpful to the police services or others when they need to play the role of the lay witness or the professional witness. Lay witness means that the report has to be written as a public member.

Just like the stomach, the brain also has its bad days. When the stomach isn’t fed healthy and nutritious meals for a long span, it is bound to get upset. And so, we head to the physician for treatment.   Similarly, if the brain isn’t fed the right things in the form of self-love and relationships, the brain is bound to react, and that reaction is known as depression. Then, why are we scared to get treated? We have made depression into a taboo, something whose news should not cross the walls of our home. Parents, whose kids are suffering through depression, are unable to understand its seriousness and take it to be another teenage or high school problem.  Recent studies have revealed that up to 15% of children and adolescents have shown symptoms of depression. It could be due to peer pressure, family problems, changing hormone levels, studies, social media, and various other factors. It isn’t something the child can easily snap out of or forget after sociali...

A family is where our roots are, a family is from where it all starts!  A family is a place from where we learn our very first life lessons. Whether a kinship or a guardian family, it influences every small or big aspect of our lives. Our habits, rituals, interactions and the way we perceive the world outside is learned with and from them. Schools and communities come much later; it’s the family that conditions and shapes us from the very beginning. If we are brought up in a happy and healthy family atmosphere, it is bound to reflect in our interactions and how we ultimately shape up. Children brought up under healthy atmospheres grow up to be the adults who forge healthy and sound relationships. On the flip side, if one is brought up a dysfunctional family, there will always be struggle involved while trusting and connecting with the outside world. Though the latter indeed is an unfortunate situation, it can be worked upon and set right with the inclusion of an ...

The first and the foremost thing that ensures that a human being lives a long, happy life is the condition of their heart and mind. The heart, in a technical sense, does not do the thinking part but is used metaphorically to state one’s emotional condition. Brain does all the thinking, even the stressful ones. The heart takes the brunt along with the brain. And now you see the picture of a well-being collapsing to the ground in a heart-broken stage. There are times when stress does enter a relationship. All you need to focus is on enduring it and finding the best solution for it. There are many things that can cause you emotional stress in your relationship.

Anxiety is worse than anything. If depression is slow suicide, then anxiety is quickly descending into panic and madness. In depression, your mind and body can take a halt slowly as each symptom increases day by day. Anxiety is jumping on all these symptoms at once with flight or fight response. You could die on the spot with an excessive rush of stress to your heart. This is why controlling anxiety is crucial. Anxiety is a natural response to perceived threat or danger. This is our body’s evolutionary way of survival. A good amount of cautiousness is helpful, but when it gets triggered by even a minute gesture or signal and exceeds to way uncontrollable amount, then you need to do something about it. Everything you see would be perceived as a threat and would lead you to paranoia. The worst thing about this is that you would also perceive people who are trying to help you as predators. And frequent episodes of it can trigger other mental health disorders such as schizophrenia, insom...
