What is the difference between Sympathy, Empathy and Compassion?

Hello everyone!!! Once upon a time, there was a bunch of four friends , Raju, Kaju, Maju and Waju. They were in the 1st year of their college life. All of them were friends since class 10th and were really happy to get the same college. They all did a lot of parties, studies and enjoyed their lives thoroughly. They all were quite close to each other and each others families as well.                                       One fine day, they were in the college canteen to celebrate Raju's birthday, suddenly his phone rang. He went away from the crowd and took the call. It was the call of his mom. All the friends were waiting for him eagerly but then they saw something that made them tensed. They saw that Raju's phone was on the ground and he was crying badly! All three of them ran in his direction to investigate into the matter.                 ...

What is Institutionalisation?

Hello everyone!!! Institutionalization  refers to the process of embedding some conception (for example a belief, norm, social role, particular value or mode of behaviour) within an organization, social system, or society as a whole.                                      This was a much scientific and  theoretical definition indeed! So let me explain you the actual meaning of institutionalization through the means of a story. After all, forgetting a story is quite rare! So sit back, grab a cup of coffee or tea and listen...                      Long time back there was a village where everyone lived happily and were just like family members. Their basic occupation was farming.                              Then came a middle aged m...

Difference between Psychologist and Psychiatrist

Image
Hello everyone!!! Today I am going to address a question of utmost importance. The question is "Is there a difference between a Clinical Psychologist, Counsellor and Psychiatrist?"                               Psychology being an emerging field has aroused many questions and doubts amongst the local people. Many of us still do not have a complete idea of what psychologist do or what is the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Half of the population (of India) believes that psychologists are someone who deal with people whom they define as " pagal " or "stupid". I am really sad to use these words but most of us still use them to define those who need serious help and affection. I fail to understand the mindset of those people who devise and use such terms with such frankness and openness. Instead of providing help and support to them, we often tend to ignore them or stay away from them. ...

WHY DO WE DREAM?

Hello everyone!!!  In today's blog we are going to discuss about the most thrilling topic of all. That is " Why do we Dream? "  First thing first, dreaming can be of two types: Day-Dreaming and Night-Dreaming. So let me explain you the difference between the two with the help of a few examples... Imagine that you along with your family members are watching a news channel on the television. Suddenly your mother snaps you by saying "Hey where are you lost? I am talking to you". At this moment you realize that you were actually dreaming of a brand new bicycle that you want and in your dream you were riding it and enjoying the ride.  This is an instance of Day-Dreaming! A man daydreaming... I am sure that all of you must have gone through the phase when you wake up in the morning and smile to yourself thinking that it was just a "dream"! Some of us also wake up at the middle of the night, say around 2 a.m. or  3 a.m. and a...
