Mental health is an important part of overall well-being, and requires a combination of interventions for effective treatment. Dr. Mohammad Iqbal Afridi discussed this during the “Mental Health Week” seminar at Iqra University North Campus.
The seminar emphasised the crucial roles that psychological and pharmaceutical management play in overcoming mental stress. He emphasised the importance of customising the use of medications to each patient’s particular needs, taking into account their individual health condition, the severity of their symptoms, their medical background, and their response to treatment.
It is critical for patients, their families, and health professionals involved in their care to comprehend the basics of medications for mental health.
We can make wise decisions and cooperate to get the best results from treatment by learning more about these drugs and their effects. Events like these, which offer counselling, therapy, and pharmacology education in educational institutions, according to Dr. Salima Tejani, head of the psychology department, empower students to manage mental stress, promote wellbeing, and assist others in improving their health mentally.
Presentations on research projects concerning the pharmacological management of psychological disorders and methods to enhance student mental health were also included in the seminar.
The Campus Director Prof. Dr. Syed Ali Raza gave Professor Dr. Mohammad Iqbal Afridi a commemorative shield at the conclusion of the event. At the event, Dr. Mohammad Masroor, Dr. Salima Tejani, and other attendees were present.
Mental disorders affects cognition, perception, and behaviour and includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It also affects how someone responds to stress, interacts with others, and makes decisions.
Subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, generational dependence, and self-actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential are just a few examples. The ability to enjoy life and strike a balance between daily activities and endeavours to develop psychological resilience may be considered a sign of mental health from the perspectives of positive psychology or holistic approaches.
