There's a fine line between solitude and loneliness. And this contrast has become clearer in this pandemic. 

Many people across the world found themselves alone as well as lonely during this crisis. Factors such as social isolation, digital dependency, and personality-traits have come into play, and aggravated this. 

Today, we explore various aspects of the perception of loneliness. 

Our guest, Dr. Prakarsh Jain, a psychiatrist from Mumbai, explains what loneliness means, how to identify its signs, how to deal with it and how can the family of the person dealing with loneliness be of help.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorders, or OCDs, can be highly debilitating. They can disrupt your daily routine, your functioning, your over-all behaviour, as well as the harmony within your family. A lot of people do not understand what an OCD is, but usually use the term incorrectly, which increases the stigma around the condition. 

During this pandemic, many have reported a heightened degree of their obsessive and compulsive behaviours, especially when it comes to trying to avoid catching the coronavirus. 

In today's episode, I speak to Purba Sen, once again. We explore what an OCD is, how to spot the signs, and how to deal with it during this pandemic.

Since the Covid-19 outbreak, a lot of people around the world have been experiencing extreme levels of anxiety-related problems. 

While the number of such cases has seen a surge, many are not completely aware of what anxiety truly is, how it can be identified and how they can deal with it. 

Many people exchange the words 'worry' and 'anxiety' quite often, which is only partially correct. 

In this episode, I speak to Purba Sen, a counselling psychologist from Noida. We discuss what anxiety is, what are the main causes of anxiety, how to spot its symptoms, and how to deal with it during this pandemic.
