Transcript
00:00There is a difference between a problem in the brain and a problem in the mind.
00:04When you take these pills, at most they can address the brain.
00:09But how will pills address the mind?
00:11The mind is composed of tendencies, thoughts, emotions, such stuff.
00:17The problem really lies there.
00:19And we try to address the problem in the mind by treating the brain.
00:23It won't really help or would help in a very superficial way, very limited way, right?
00:28Life keeps testing us in small ways and facts have a way of showing up.
00:34When facts show up, then our concepts and imaginations are badly hurt, sometimes shattered.
00:40And then we rush to the psychiatrist.
00:43And that's why you see long queues there.
00:45The waiting times are only increasing every passing month.
00:49Mental health today is a bigger problem than any other disease of the body.
