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. On the other hand, the professional witness report is required when there is the involvement of someone who is involved in one of the aspects of patient's care. Incident may be investigated in a number of ways. It can be on the behalf of the complainant, for a criminal case, and also for the disciplinary matter given by one’s employer.   Irrespective of the situ...

The purpose of mental therapy is to provide a patient with the means and tools that he/she needs to apply in day-to-day life in order to bring about a positive change. There are 168 hours in a week and therapy session sitting is usually once a week.

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...

With all the fears, anxieties, and pressures bottled up, life can get hard at times. Weighed down by the expectations and obligation, we feel overwhelmed all the time. Stress keeps piling up, slowly killing our life force and yet we continue to accept it as our way of life.  With so much haziness, the actual life perspective gets lost in this whole madness. We keep falling into the same loop of old habits again and again without any hope in sight. When life gets so dragging, we all need an anchor to hold onto. That anchor is a Life Coach London .  A Life Coach is a mentor, a friend, a guide, basically who helps us break from older patterns and clearly see who we are. He/she works closely with us to help bring everything into perspective, constantly encouraging us to remain focused and positive about our goals. Please connect with Integrated Mindfulness-Based Therapy to get in touch with an expert Life Coach in London. Here are a few of the reasons why you mus...

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 ...

A young mind is impressionable and each incident can engrave a psychological pattern in them. They learn from experiences, just like we all do. But what they cannot do at this age frame is to understand what is right and what is wrong. And if their understanding of the world goes undetected, their behaviour pattern can spiral in downwards into the hellish manoeuvre. Children are not born antisocial unless there is a genetic flaw that makes them unable to feel empathy. But children can grow to become defensive, aggressive and abusive with each untoward incident. Instances of abuse can greatly change the way a child behaves and interacts with the world. And since most of the cases of abuse come from someone they know, they hesitate to trust people who truly care for them.    We can bring about a change in this toxic pattern with the help of therapists. They will unravel each and every piece and try to fix it with your child. They have a high responsibility of sewing up ...

It is good to be neurotic in healthy amounts. It has always kept us safe and helped us in strategising for unfortunate outcomes. But too much of it always activates our brain to get into flight or fight mode. While you cannot physically fight work stress, you need to strengthen your mind to punch anxiety to the core. Worrying about something is good till the time it helps you to think about possible solutions and springs you to action. Endless worrying loops you into anxiety and in many cases, anxiety becomes chronic. And that can only spiral down to mania. We also know that there are times where you would want to scream and run away from a scene and wouldn’t care if anyone bothers or not. Anxiety leads us to reckless behaviour even if that anxiety was supposed to keep us away from it. So yes, it is not healthy. Be a warrior, not a worrier.  Anxiety stems from sending your brain on autopilot and let it run on steroids, screening bad possible instances and outcomes that can happ...

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...
