Mental Health Counseling: Do You Think Bengalooru Is a Suicidal City?
Question by nethaji -: Do you think Bengalooru is a suicidal city?
According to the National Crime Records Bureau, at least 35 in every 100,000 people in Bangalore commit suicide.
Why is Bangalore seeing an increasing number of suicides?
Experts say most suicide cases in the city are related to stress; its citizens are unable to cope with Bangalore’s quick growth. If you walk into Bangalore’s leading hospitals, you will find a large number of patients suffering from stress-related ailments.
Doctors specialising in this disorder told rediff.com that, on an average, they treat at least 10 patients a day for stress-related ailments.
A doctor at the city’s Manipal Hospital said, on condition of anonymity, “We admit such patients to monitor them. They remain in hospital for at least a day or two before they are discharged. We keep them on medication if necessary or we advise counselling.”
Questions About National Health Care?
Many people seem to be for a national health plan that will be written by non-medical politicians and will be a monopoly on health care that limits ability to have access to medical attention not covered by the plan.
Is it possible to have our government write a plan that will not guarantee high profits to those who donated large sums to a candidate’s campaign?
Will the plan eliminate (or at least address) Medicare and Medicaid fraud?
Will the plan continue to pay the high salaries of non-medical CEO’s who own health care facilities, testing centers and treatment centers?
Will tax payers be expected to pay higher land/homeowner taxes making owning a home impossible so that non tax payers can continue to have better health coverage than those who pay taxes and own assets that must be depleted if one needs medical care?
Will our national leaders get the same coverage as everyone else if a national health plan is started? (Will legislators get the same limitations as tax payers who vote(d) for them?)
