49. WHO Survey on MENTAL ILLNESS A World Health Organization(WHO) survey carried out among 191 member countries showed that mental health provisions were severely under-resourced because of stigma, apathy and neglect. Worldwide, there are 400 million mentally ill people, 78 countries have no mental health policy and 340 million people suffer from depression. Schizophrenia affects seven out of every thousand adults, 10 to 15 per cent of the world population suffers from anxiety disorders, suicide rates vary from 8 to 50 per 100,000 in South East Asia, 18 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and two percent of the world’s population is mentally challenged. In India, nearly 25 million people are in need of mental health services, which makes it necessary for it to be treated as a national emergency.

Editor's Notes
Objective: To further illustrate the previous transparency. Essential or Optional: Opt. Suggested time: 5 mins. Pressures in individuals or organisations come in from the past, from the present and from the future. Ask them what are some of the pressures that an organisation can have from its past: - debts, trying to keep up the success that they had once, relationships or dirty deeds that are being done that it’s better to forget. Present pressure? Market fluctuation, government policy, etc. Future pressure? Uncertainty, fear, confusion, chaos and so on. On an individual level we have our own unresolved situations from the past, apprehensions about the future and present financial, family and work pressures. It’s like being in the middle of the sandwich. But it’s not just a sandwich with top and bottom but a sandwich with front and back too. We can understand the things but of course just understanding is not enough, we have to do a bit of restructuring to shore up the weak points which are being pressed on more. And of course restructuring and understanding are not enough. To increase the resilience we need discipline and empowerment both in organisations and in individuals. Discipline in the sense of getting things ordered, organised better, time wise and department wise and empowerment in an organisation means to give people greater power to decide. Restructuring alone is not enough. Look at this quote “We went through a difficult training and it seemed like every time we started to form new teams we ended up being reorganised. And I learned later in life that we have the tendency to face any new situation through reorganisation and how this is such a marvellous method to create the illusion of progress while we go on making confusion, deficiency and demoralisation”. It sounds very modern but that’s actually from one 99999 Arbiter who was a captain of the Centurian Guard in the 2nd century A.D! A recent survey of executives at Shell Petroleum in Brazil showed that 61% considered that they were under stress, 33% of them blamed their stress on the work itself and 11% were dangerously stressed. How would the work be if six people in every ten are tense, r three in the blaming the work itself and one on the point of exploding? You should find your own local statistics.
Objective: To show how the understanding of innate qualities and strengths can help us overcome stress. Essential or Optional: Ess. Suggested time: 5-10 mins. A good definition of stress is our inability to cope with change around us. Because the state of mind is the real cause of the physical manifestations of stress, physical cures such as massage, jogging in the park or trips away for the weekend may alleviate the problem but it’s really only a change of attitude to pressure that cures it. If you can arrange a piece of thin wood and a steel rod it will serve to illustrate the above formula. When pressure is applied to the endsof the wood it snaps. With the steel rod, because the resistance is greater the pressure applied is not enough to break it. The same thing applies with individuals. If you want to reduce tension what do you do? Reduce the pressure or increase the resilience. To reduce the pressure we need to use the weapon of comprehension. This means to see the pressure in the best perspective possible, not to be fooled by appearences and to leave it in its context. E.g., a fly on the wall is just a fly, but put under a microscope and magnified 30 times it becomes a monster. In the same way what is really a small thing if seen in its true light is made into a load of pressure simply by not making the effort to comprehend it properly. If someone is angry with you see behind the anger. See the angry person rather as someone who is suffering for some reason and try to help the sufferer. If someone has a nail in their hand you use a hammer to push it in further or to extract it. Remember a forceful nature is due to the inner person crying inside. Salt on an open wound hurts when the hurt is healed it does not hurt. To increase the resilience it’s an effort from within. If a fort is under attack and there is weakness in the wall they have to be shored up and reinforced from the inside. Deep reflection on our innate strengths bring them closer to the pressures being exerted by the 4R’s and thereby useable. Real comprehension and work on self-stregthening changes pressures into challenges and the tension into dynamism. Like a guitar, if the strings are too loose you can’t play it, if they are too tight they break. Ask them to write down their three main pressures at the moment and how they could be seen in a more positive way.
