the psychiatric aspect of HIV/AIDS : “Post Diagnosis Depression” &  “AIDS-DEMENTIA”

The physical sign and symptoms of HIV/AIDS have been highly propagated by the media so far, but the psychiatric aspect of this global pandemic, has been virtually untouched so far. MANDARSHAN MISSION … a global mission for healthy and beautiful mind, has revealed the affect of HIV on the human mind. This is termed ‘AIDS-DEMENTIA’. Any  individual infected with HIV is prone to pass through this abnormal state of mind. In this phase of mental-disorder, the patient may present with a variety of abnormal psychological features.

At the same time, an HIV positive diagnosed patient has a very high chance of developing “Secondary Depression” or “Post Diagnosis Depression” (PDD). This may lead the patient’s mind towards the negative emotions ofguilt, hopelessness, helplessness and frustration.

“Psycho-Spiritualist Dr. ALOK MANDARSHAN” has said that, with this revelation of Psychiatric aspect of HIV/AIDS, not only the patients, but their caregivers and family could be aware of not only its physical signs and symptoms, but also of the corresponding mental feature of the patient. This awareness could be highly helpful in the holistic psychosomatic treatment of the patient.

Moreover, Dr. MANDARSHAN has highly emphasized on the total acceptance and psychosocial support for the patient, so that the patient could cooperate positively for the comprehensive psychosomatic treatment and re-accomplish his self respect and dignity with sustained social rehabilitation.
