THE    MIND AND MENTAL ATTITUDE 

# The number of patients suffering from heart attack, blood pressure, cancer and many psychosomatic diseases is increasing in India. Even though people are aware about the health problems, nutrition, good food, exercise and the latest health care systems + the government and insurance support, the health problems are swallowing the society. 

# The main reason for the above problems is not the lack of awareness or education, but the mental tensions and worries. The public has a misunderstanding that the mental problem means ‘schizophrenia’. All the problems connected with mind lead to   mental problems. 

# The Indian approach to mental and    physical health problems is given as aadhi and vyaadhi, in which the first and more important is aadhi connected with mental health and the second only is physical problem vyaadhi. 

# Naro hithaahaara vihaara sevee sameekshyakaaree vishayeshu askthaa daathaa satyaparaa kshmaavaan aptopa sevee cha bhavatyaroga. The mental and physical conditions needed to be health is given here. Of which the mental attitude is given as : 

# Lack of stabilized vision, over attachment, attraction towards sensual pleasures, miserliness, sticking to adharma and asathya, impatience, rejecting the advice of scholars, lack of philosophical approach, enmity, etc are also different types of mental disorders.

# In India, the focus was given more to mental change (internal change) than the physical change (external change). Even in purushaarthas, the physical worldly achievements are guided and controlled by the mental change. 

# The internal changes are permanent and external changes are temporary. The former is deep and permanent   and the latter is shallow and temporary. 

# All the Indian literature were (are) focusing on the mental or psychological changes needed to achieve a useful + purposeful + fruitful + peaceful = meaningful life for us and for all those who connected with us.
