Stress |
Social anxiety is the third largest psychological problem in the world today, but few people understand this. One of the worst circumstances, though, is meeting people who are "authority figures" such as bosses and supervisors at work. The anxiety level is very high and they're so focused on "not failing" and "giving themselves away" that they don't even remember what was said in the conversation. |

Women make up nearly 30% of the total workforce in India. Till date, there has been no single, comprehensive, large, scale study carried out in the country which does justice to the problems faced by women in the workplace. For 90% of the working women, the workplace is often the second job that they shoulder – even when they are career oriented women. All studies on stress therefore have to be focused taking into account the multiple stressors that women have to face. |

Mental retardation means a delay in mental development compared to others of the same age. A mentally retarded child learns at a much slower rate than a normal child. At maturity his/her capacity to understand and learn will be less than average. There are four general classifications of mental handicaps; mild and moderate are educable and go to school for studying although they cannot go on at the same pace as others of the same age. The severe and profound handicaps are only trainable. |

In OCD, it is as though the brain gets stuck on a particular thought or urge and just can’t let go. |
