PRAYER -- , , , , , , , , Help me thrive and upgrade my core, O my innermost one Cleanse, brighten, and make it adorable one. Awaken, prepare, and make me audacious.

Psychiatric illness acts as risk factor for adult mortality and morbidity

Psychiatric illness is associated with an increased risk of premature death. Out of 100 people aged 15-89 years , 33 died per day in India. It is assumed that out of 33, at least 8 people died due to psychiatric disorders (2.5% rate).Common causes of death are suicide, accident, cardiovascular diseases, schizophrenia and depression.

Psychiatric illness is also associated with morbidity and Co-morbidity of several general diseases like diabetes, CHD, skin disorder, respiratory diseases, peptic ulcer, cancer etc.In people with schizophrenia, the risk of dying of respiratory disease s like bronchial asthma, pneumonia was almost 10 times than others.Suicide and cardiovascular diseases are associated with neurotic depression.

Psychiatric illness affects DALYs and Economic health of country.

WHO reports that mental illnesses are the leading causes of disability adjusted life years (DALYs) worldwide accounting for 37% of healthy years lost from NCDs (Non communicable diseases).

Loss of employment, productive human resources Depression alone accounts for one third of this disability. The new report estimates the global cost of mental illness at nearly 2.5 trillion dollars in 2010 with a projected increase to over $6T in 2015.The economic health of both developing and developed nations will depend on controlling the staggering growth in costs from NCDs.

Psychological Counselling and Psychotherapy as antidotes of psychiatric illnessPsychotropic drug is a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood and consciousness. Like psychotropic drugs, psychological counselling and psychotherapy can decrease severity level of psychiatric disorders. They can change perception of self and of the surroundings. They can develop the abilities to withstand threats.

Q & A about Rabindrik PsychotherapyQ. Is it necessary to learn Bengali for its application ?A. Tagores songs were translated into different languages. So language is not bar. Again, when music and language is synchronized, music can create similar effect.

Q & A about Rabindrik PsychotherapyQ. Is it necessary to be specialist in Rabindra sangeet ?A. This is not required if lyrics can affect layers of consciousness properly.

Unbounded Consciousness

CONSCIOUSNESS IS NEVER ENDING MULTI-LAYERED WAVES OF AWARENESS"....Tare dola diye duliye geche kato dheuer chando,O tar anto nai go nai."Puja, 332

Functions of MurtoAssignment: Draw circle closing and non-closing eyes. Find out difference.Murta layer is the locus of sensation and perception. It is the first layer where in individual senses the attributes of stimulus through five sensory organs.

Distorted and non-distorted Murto layer (locus of sensation and perception) in Rabindrik PsychotherapyDistorted Partial or full sensory information lossDifficulty in sensory integrationPart perceptionFaulty mental imageryMissing and anomalies in responsesNon-distorted Acquisition of adequate sensory informationGood sensory integrationWhole perception Adequate imageryAbsence of missing and anomalies in responses

Functions of RaagaIt is the seat of feeling and emotion. It changes meaning of stimulus.It is filled with different flows. Flow creates and resolves the conflict by changing perception of the characteristics of stimulus.

Functions of SaraswatWhen information comes to Saraswat layer, individual experiences total harmony.It provides experience of aestheticsOne finds no difference between self and surroundings.

MURTA, RAAG, SARASWATQ: What is this ?A1: This is a white object (Murta)A2: This is white beautiful flower (Raag)A3: This is light (Saraswat)

DISEQUILIBRIUM STAGE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

After learning the flower as white, individual still asks the question as what is this ? or is it white ? After considering the flower as light, individual asks the question is it light ?

Flow on Consciousness Stream

The flowConsciousness is just like fluid. When music acts on consciousness, it causes two types of flow through mental images. These are turbulent and non-turbulent flow.The flow is the movement of consciousness wave. Flow is not the static wave, it is dynamic in nature, The flow is movement of consciousness wave that passes a point per unit time.

Speed of flow

Flow theory in Rabindrik Psychotherapy: Estimate the direction, speed, sustenance and association of flow in the layers of consciousness

Analysis from Shyama Giti natya by D. Dutta Roy, ISI., Kolkata

Flow quotient Flow quotient (FQ) = (Wo / We) *100Wo= Observed wave per second; We = Expected wave per secondHere 100 is multiplied to avoid fraction.The above formula suggests that the flow has three levels - the base, high and low. 100 is the base level(Wo= We ). Above 100 indicates high load (Wo > We) and below 100 indicates low load (Wo
