Playing Garba in Chaniya Choli, Surat’s Dr. Kalpana Savani rushed to her hospital in a Rapido after learning about a critical ICU patient. She helped stabilise the patient, putting duty and humanity first! 🙏❤️ #Navratri2026 #Garba #Surat #GujaratiPride #GujaratCulture

Criticising Psychiatry is easy. Anyone with keyboard can do it. Helping people in terrible distress caused by interaction of brain and environment is not easy.

For the umpteenth time folks, depression is NOT a "lifestyle" disease, nor is it a choice. It is a mental disorder of bio-psycho-social origins that causes bio-psycho-social disability. It is not weakness of character or a moral failing.

Feeling anxious? The problem might not be in your head. It might be in your stomach. You have a "second brain" called the Enteric Nervous System, located in your gut, containing over 100 million neurons. 95% of your body’s serotonin (the mood-stabilizing neurotransmitter) is produced in your gut, not your brain!!! The Vagus Nerve acts as a superhighway between the two. When this communication breaks down, it often manifests as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Far from just a "stomach ache," IBS is a classic gut-brain disorder. Stress and anxiety can trigger painful gut spasms and inflammation, while an unhappy, inflamed gut microbiome sends distress signals back up the highway, worsening your anxiety and causing brain fog. It is a vicious, bidirectional cycle. The Takeaway ? To treat anxiety, look at your plate as well as your thoughts. A healthy mind requires a healthy microbiome.
