Novel Coronavirus

The world was confronted with an illness 'COVID-19', caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. This novel coronavirus is highly contagious and in just a few months has become a serious threat to human health all over the world. It was declared as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the end of January 2020 and a pandemic in March 2020. In addition to the public health challenges, this pandemic has created another parallel pandemic of mental health problems. There are many relations of doing panic and getting the disease and the pos- sibility of Mansik Bhavas like fear (Bhaya), anger (Krodha), grief (Shoka) and not follow Sadvrutta can be the cause or precipitating factor of infection to any person. Ayurveda and modern point of view agree to the statement that different Mansik Bhavas like Bhaya, Krodha, Shoka and not follow Sadvrutta etc. can lead to or can act as Hetu for many diseases like COVID-19 etc. and hence there is the existence of a relation between these Mansik Bhavas and Vyadhi Utpatti. Furthermore, the existing mental health problems have also been seen to exacerbate owing to this pandemic. The mental health problems are both seen among the community members and the healthcare pro- viders who are at the continuous forefront of service provision in healthcare settings. The best way of preventing COVID-19 infection is by enhancing an individual's body immunity. Some of the principles could be useful in mitigating the mental health issues that the current world is grappling with owing to COVID‐19. In this review article, we will understand the Role of Mansik Bhavas on immunity to COVID-19 with different references given in Ayurvedic texts, modern texts and articles. Keywords: Ayurveda, COVID-19, Mansik bhavas (Bhaya, Krodha, Shoka and Sadvrutta), Immunity.

The Family

Public concern for mental health problems is still very minimal, including in the Wirobrajan neighborhood, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Wirobrajan Public Health Center as a public health facility has carried out various kinds of health education activities. However, the results were not optimal considering this requires the participation of the community in paying attention to health in the family environment. The mental health early detection movement is one of the factors for preventing mental health problems in the family. The purpose of this activity is to conduct psychoeducation and early detection of people with mental disorders (ODGJ) in the Wirobrajan environment. The method used was a cross-sector mini workshop in the form of ODGJ socialization, inauguration of the alert village decree and counseling on the role of families in preventing ODGJ recurrence. The results of the activity showed that mental health cadres had a better understanding of the concept, causes, and treatment of mental disorders, as well as the role of family and the environment in ODGJ. Thus, the cadres will understand more about people with mental disorders and have new abilities related to early detection of mental health.

The objective of this paper is to raise questions about appropriateness of the concept of continuity of care for guiding the development of helping strategies for people with mental health problems in the era of non-institutionalization. Research on continuity of care is reviewed to show the strong legacy of institutional thinking. A leading problem addressed in this literature is that of client drop-out from programs designed to ensure continuity. The research results clearly suggest that this “problem” lies with the agency of clients: the fact that, in the natural milieu, they make decisions according to their own definitions of the situation and in a social context of their own. This perspective, however, seemingly cannot be incorporated into the continuity of care paradigm, which remains firmly grounded in the world of service providers. We argue, therefore, that the era of the non-institutionalization calls for a recasting of the meaning of “continuity” for people with mental health problems, a reorientation of the type of research conducted in this domaine, and ultimately, a reformulation of the nature and role of support services in the community.

Risk Markers

This text outlines the role of risk-taking and self-harming behaviours in the development and detection of suicidal behaviour and mental health problems among adolescents. Risk-taking and self-harming behaviours are observable symptoms for underlying problems of emotion regulation, impulse control or interpersonal relationships and are sensitive risk markers for early detection of developmental trajectories of suicidal behaviour and mental health problems. Due to their easy accessibility and their sensitive prediction of mental health problems, risk-taking and self-harming behaviours have been included into programmes screening for adolescents at risk of suicidal behaviour in the general population. The principles and findings of those screening programmes are discussed. Professional screenings are time consuming for participants and create costs for the healthcare system, thus, longitudinal studies are needed to test whether screening programmes are effective in reducing suicidal behaviour among adolescents.
