Dateline Dehradun: On the occasion of International Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Day, 30 people benefited from a free health assistance camp organized by Himalayan Hospital, Jollygrant. The department ran a campaign to raise awareness amongst people on this occasion.

Addressing the attendees at the free health assistance camp organized by the Department of Clinical Psychology on Thursday, Department Head Dr. Malini Srivastava stated that PTSD is a mental health disorder that develops in some people after experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event. This traumatic event can be life-threatening, such as war, natural disaster, car accident, or sexual assault. She noted that a year after the catastrophic floods caused by a cloudburst in Uttarakhand, a well-organized scientific study by the Clinical Psychology Department of Himalayan Hospital found that the sudden flood not only caused loss of life and property but also affected the mental health of the people enduring this tragedy.

Similarly, the mental state of people was also affected during the COVID-19 pandemic. This camp was organized to guide people towards better mental health.

Assistant Professor Mahjabeen emphasized the role of psychotherapy in dealing with PTSD symptoms. Many people suffering from PTSD do not seek psychological help due to the myth that talking about traumatic events will re-traumatize them. We need to spread awareness to curb these myths. Dr. Kanchan Dobhal mentioned that in some cases, PTSD can persist for up to 30 years, severely impacting all areas of a person’s life.

During the event, people suffering from PTSD discussed their conditions. Divyanshu, Shivani, Vanya, Princess, Lakshmi, Arushi, Garima, and Dr. Rashi from the department provided psychological counseling to the patients to help them overcome the traumas they shared.

Vitiligo does not affect a person’s daily activities.

She mentioned that vitiligo is a type of skin disorder commonly known as leukoderma, which affects the pigment-producing cells in the body. It is not a contagious disease. Dr. Y.S. Bisht explained that modern medical science offers many options for preventing white spots. In many patients, surgery with skin grafting can treat white spots.

Dr. Samarjit Roy pointed out that there are certain myths in society about this disease, such as the consumption of white foods like milk, yogurt, cheese, etc., it being a type of leprosy and spreading by touch, and the belief that it is untreatable. These misconceptions can only be eradicated through awareness.

Dr. Deekshita, Dr. Arnav, Dr. Ritu, Dr. Anuj, Dr. Jagriti, Dr. Vrinda, Dr. Sakshi, Dr. Shobhit, and Dr. Tabir provided detailed information on the treatment, symptoms, and myths related to white spots to patients and their relatives through a poster exhibition in the OPD.
