Experts stress parents must say 'NO' for children

Nagpur: Experts at a recent psychiatry seminar emphasized the importance of parents saying "NO" to their children. This helps kids learn boundaries, self-discipline, and how to cope with disappointment, according to Dr. Prajakta Kaduskar. The seminar highlighted rising mental health issues among children, linking them to excessive materialism and instant gratification. Dr. Sudhir Bhave discussed the need for innovative therapies and early diagnosis in mental health care, noting a 60% increase in telepsychiatry since 2020. Advancements in technology, such as mobile apps and wearable sensors, are improving mental health monitoring. AI is also enhancing diagnosis and therapy efficiency, according to Aditya Khaparde, CEO of Swasth Mind.
