| ‘Trauma patients increase in J&K in last decades’ | | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, May 24:
Attaching importance to health care in Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said the number of trauma patients have prospectively increased during past two decades of turmoil in the state.
Inaugurating a two-day workshop on the National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) organised by ''Medecins Sans Frontieres'' (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders (DWB), the Chief Minister said health is not complete without the mental fitness and this aspect has to be given special attention.
''I am here to convey to you the seriousness of my government towards health of the people of Jammu and Kashmir'', he said, adding that mental treatment was more complex as the illness lies below the surface and symptoms were not as explicit as in physical ailments. He further said the treatment becomes more difficult as the mental patients for social stigma are reluctant to report to the psychiatrists, as such, the disorders remain undetected leading to further manifestation of illness.
The number of mental patients in Jammu and Kashmir has increased manifold due to violence and disturbances. ''The continuous tension has resulted in depression, mental ailments and disorders; he said, and added ''perhaps it is easy to treat the physical illness rather than mental traumas.'' Detection of mental sufferings requires an expert eye to identify, as such, need focused and well versed attention, Abdullah added.
