Exam
stress
can lead to depression and suicide. During exam days
prescriptions for anti
depressant drugs, so called happy drugs,
increase amongst teenagers of
16-18 years in full time
education.
This figure crosses 20% in school
population in the West.

 

This was
stated by Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy awardee  Dr. KK
Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India, Prof.
Dr. Aruna Broota, Clinical Psychologist, Dept. of Psychology,
University of Delhi and Acharya
Sadhvi  Dr. Sadhna Ji Maharaj, Chairperson, World Fellowship of Religions during a press conference
organized by
the Foundation to create awareness about the rising problems of stress in Indian
context.

 

Ms
Shibani Kashyap noted singer and music composer was the star attraction of the
conference.

 

The fears
of failure, fear of letting down are the two most common factors leading to suicide
and depression.

 

Also, children indulge in
drugs to keep awake during  exams and end
up with addictions like iodex on sandwich, toothpaste, shoe
polish, whitener, Vicks and anti fit drugs, cough syrups
etc. This is apart from indulgence in smoking, tobacco, alcohol, tea,
coffee, and superman drugs like LSD, etc. Some children go to the extent
of even eating the tail of the lizards.

 

Anticipatory anxiety peaks before
exams resulting in adverse affects
on the body and mind and therefore, a sub optimal performance.

 

Stress
not only causes palpitations and tense muscles but also reduces the
ability to make decisions, act or express oneself including organization
of thoughts.

 

Stress
during exams can makes it difficult to read and understand
questions and even to recall terms and concepts.

 

A recent
study has shown that 45 minutes of afternoon nap improves the
declarative memory. Declarative memory is the memory of
events learnt and understood earlier during the year.

 

Not taking afternoon nap or the night sleep may
cause the child end up with transient loss of declarative memory.                                       

 

 

Free
Writing Can Clear Mental Stress: By spending 30 minutes
each day for four days to write out your innermost thoughts
and feelings, one can significantly boost mental and physical health.
In expressive writing therapy, students are encouraged
to express whatever is on their mind, letting their hopes
and fears flow out in a natural, unrestrained way. It’s akin to
keeping a journal, but more focused on the things that might be bothering you or triggering
stress.

 

While
writing, the patients need not worry about the punctuations It’s
about stepping back and thinking about things in a different way,
making linkages. Writing out emotions eases stress and, in turn,
boosts the immune system.

 

Memories
of traumatic events are not suppressed by the people who
experienced them and can be clearly recalled. In a five year study
scientists at Dalhousie University in Halifax found that Pleasant
events were more difficult to recall than unhappy ones.

 

Sleeping pills can be
dangerous: Prescription sleeping pills can cause strange and
potentially dangerous side effects, including sleep driving, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration has warned. A few
years ago the bizarre side effect first made headlines when Rep. Patrick Kennedy
crashed his car after taking
Ambien (zolpiden).

 

The side
effects can include dangerous allergic reactions and a bizarre behaviour
“sleep-driving,” in which a person will drive a car while not fully awake and have no
memory of doing so. Sleep-driving
and other strange behaviours might occur if consumers take a higher-than-recommended
dose of the drug, or
drink alcohol or consume other similar drugs. All the drugs in the
class can produce these effects.

 

Short walk can help de-addict: Just 5
to 10 minutes of walk can cut cravings for cigarettes among people trying to kick the habit, According to Dr. Adrian H. Taylor
of the University of Exeter.
Twelve out of fourteen studies reviewed by him found that a bout of physical activity reduced
cigarette cravings and withdrawal
symptoms compared to staying inactive. Exercise cut craving as much as chewing nicotine
gum. Exercise also triples
the time it takes for people to reach for their next cigarette.

 

Effects were seen for vigorous bouts of
exercise lasting for up

to 40
minutes, but even less intense 15-minute session and even five
minutes of isometrics, have a significant effect. Distraction,
reducing stress and boosting mood may be the reasons.

 

Afternoon
nap: A study published in the journal Sleep, showed
that a 45-minute midday nap can help boost the
“declarative memory” which applies to standard textbook
learning and knowledge. Sleep appears to help “set” these
declarative memories and make them easier to recall.

The
other type of memory is “procedural memory,” which applies to skills and
has no impact with the midday nap.

 

HCFI Tips

1.   Kids should   not be
compared: it can lead to anger or
depression in the child.

2.     One
should unconditionally appreciate whatever the child
has achieved.

3.     One
should avoid giving false promises for example if you
come first, you will get a bike”. When that happens, “You are
not yet
18 – so you can’t get a license. This time, settle for a
bicycle and later we’ll get that bike”. Broken promises hurt
the
child.

4.     Avoid
anger chain, for example, the father unleashes his anger
on the mother (because she does not answer back), and she
takes it out on the child
(because of the same reason). And the
child takes it out on books or
studies or younger sibling or hired
help at home!

5.     Do not
force your expectations on the child, for example, you
should only become a doctor.                     

6.     Avoid
giving the child two conflicting messages like mother
asks child to study
and father says – “do not force him”.

7.             Make  
your   child   exercise   daily,  
learn   pranayama   and
meditation,,                                             

8.             Provide
your child with balanced and nutritious diet.  Avoid
overeating or long hunger periods. Restrict caffeine, give more
water.

9.      Ensure
adequate sleep with a consistent schedule to improve
concentration, memory and mood, it also reduces irritability.
