MY VIEWS: May 2009

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 29, 2009. Psychiatry: not just a “short question”! However, I didn’t come across many people suffering from mental disorders. The only mental condition I ever treated was hysterical conversion disorder the female students of High School used suffer from. I believed fully on the theory of Sigmund Freud and didn’t think it was really necessary for us to delve into their problems very much, thus the treatment used to be crude and rough! Now I realize that psychiatry is not just a ‘short qu...

MY VIEWS: TEENAGE PREGNANCY

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2009/06/teenage-pregnancy.html

Sunday, June 28, 2009. We hear of considerable number of school girls getting pregnant and leaving their studies. Number of abandoned infants were found in Thimphu, some alive and others dead. These all point to one thing, unwarranted teenage pregnancy, a consequence of human sexuality. This article is, thus, intended to highlight issues of teenage pregnancy so that the psychology of adolescent sexuality and its consequences are understood in a better perspective.

MY VIEWS: CHASING HAPPINESS

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2011/07/chasing-happiness.html

Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Long ago when I was in the village, I was a contended young boy. Happiness was easy to find. We did not require wealth to buy happiness! Small things in life use to give us enough happiness, and our parents didn't have to struggle to make any one of us happy. Three good meals that kept our stomachs full were enough to make us satisfied. We didn't even know that the foods that our children eat today ever existed! I do not seem to be able to catch it though. The salary I earn ...

MY VIEWS: UNDERSTANDING ADOLESCENTS

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2009/06/understanding-adolescents.html

Sunday, June 28, 2009. By virtue of schooling and disposition, adolescents often find themselves pondering and debating major social and political issues. Many find that adolescent years as a time of confusion and despair. They can have conflicts with parents, anxiety about scholastic performance, and pressure for peer recognition. However, not all encounter serious problems in personal adjustment, nor do they hold sharply negative attitudes towards their parents. Is premarital sex wrong? I am a psychiat...

MY VIEWS: August 2010

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 5, 2010. The global warning is a reality and the impact is obvious. This year alone there were several flash floods and landslides damaging substantial amount of arable lands and crops. Unpredictable weather conditions such as untimely rainfalls, storms, hail storms and drought are other factors that keep a famer always worried. The food grains, product of their hard toil, are never safe until harvested! Even if somebody wants to help their parents they become helpless. Few afford to...

MY VIEWS: Experiment with tobacco

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2009/08/experiment-with-tobacco.html

Monday, August 17, 2009. During one of the classes at Diklai, I saw a student of my age taking khaini (chewing tobacco). I knew for sure it was tobacco but I could not imagine a boy of nine taking it regularly. I had seen my father taking khaini but he was an adult and probably it was right for him to indulge in that habit; but a boy doing that was unimaginable! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

MY VIEWS: November 2009

http://drnirola.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 27, 2009. Adulthood has its own share of stresses for women. These are major responsibilities at home and work, single parenthood, and caring for children and aging parents. Even in a married relationship women carry a greater share of child care and household responsibilities. Role conflict sometimes becomes an issue too. Women at times need to choose between family and work responsibilities, often having difficulty in deciding about which choice is the "proper" one! The commonest form ...
