On the occasion of the World Mental Health Day on Sunday, doctors from Mumbai cautioned people to look out for early signs of mental problems that might end up becoming major problems in future, if left untreated for long.
As per doctors, mental problems can be triggered due to either minor or major (chronic) physical illnesses.
They revealed that the patients suffering from chronic illness, not just suffer from minor mental issues like anxiety, but major ones such as phobias, depression, and sexual dysfunction can also plague them.
Dr Ganesh Kumar, head of cardiology at L H Hiranandani Hospital, revealed that troublesome thing is that one in every three patients is suffering from minor mental problems these days.
