Since this is a themed event we the EMSS, along with all other NMOs have decided on the theme as “Healthy Mind – Healthy Body”. This was decided after thorough discussion among the NMOs of the region.
This theme has been chosen because of its relevance to all members of EMR who are the future leaders and doctors of tomorrow.
A dilemma all members of the medical community face is the neglect to Mental Health due to the common misconception that physical wellbeing is only important factor to a person’s health. We as medical students of tomorrow need to understand that the actual definition of health as entailing both social and mental wellbeing.
Everyone has heard that “Health is Wealth”. The instability of a person’s mind is reflected on his performance and we intend
to curb this. That is the reason we felt the theme was important not just to us, but to the general population of individuals who walk this planet. Everyone seeks good health but hardly anyone achieves it and that is why we would like to put things into perspective, illuminate the doctors of tomorrow that Healthy mind is the key, the main key for any individual no matter of what race he belongs to, for him to achieve a healthy life.
We all want a better world; why not solve the problems at its grass roots to make the world a better place for the entire human race.
Solve this undermined problem who many fail to realize is growing out to affect people in a very large scale. We will try to make sure that the theme will be highlighted in such a way that it is relevant to the medical students at large. This is our chance to highlight the message of increasing productivity by having a healthy mind.
We need to know that if one ignores a problem, it only becomes bigger, till it consumes us, then the community and then the whole world, and we as medical students need to put an end to this. This is our fight and we will educate the masses on healthy ways
to retain adequate mental health so that we could reduce the drug misuse and other evils that come into the society because of it.
Our sessions will include stress management sessions and others pertaining to this ever-growing problem. |
