    Being a sensitive person can be a lot of things, but it’s almost always to do with feeling more, thinking more, hurting more and worrying more. It can be tricky to approach a sensitive person who may be struggling with mental health issues as you cannot afford to make the situation worse and come across as insensitive to their issues. It can get messy, and it can make things worse.
    So we got in touch with Dr Mohua Datta, homoeopathic doctor and senior researcher at CCRH, New Delhi to help us understand the best way of approaching a sensitive friend with mental health issues and get them the help they need.
    1. Use Inverse Projection © Pexels
    The first step Dr Datta recommends when trying to even initiate a conversation around such a delicate subject is to warm up the ground. 

    “A way to do that is to first identify the signs of mental turbulence, and then projecting those signs and symptoms onto yourself during an interaction with the friend,” she suggests.
    “So for instance instead of telling them ‘you’ve been rather irritable lately’, you say ‘I get irritated by little things these days’. Then you follow it up with a few more changes or ‘signs’ you’ve noticed in your friend, always using inverse projection. This will not only help your friend relate and come to terms with their own mental conflicts, but also egg them on to open up from ‘personal experience.’ To make them talk is the first win," she adds.

    Now the first time you broach the topic of mental health around your friend, it may not make them open up, though they might offer you empathy. So the next step is to build up their confidence. Dr Datta says, “Try normalising vulnerability and try to offer them a safe place where they can find comfort and safety. One way to do this is by sharing that someone suggested you to talk about your emotions and confide in someone you trust. ‘This person at work suggested I try sharing my thoughts/troubles with a friend. I thought I might be able to talk to you. Is that okay?’”

    Dr Datta says that this activity will help promote mutual confidence and further encourage your friend to share their struggles based on trust.
    3. Take The Indirect Route © Pexels
    Dr Datta states that the most crucial aspect when trying to initiate the idea of seeking professional help for mental wellness with sensitive people, is to ditch the bluntness. Instead, she suggests taking the indirect route to pass on the information you want your friend to have access to.

    She recommends, 
    “Do your research and based on reliable feedback from others seeking active therapy, try something like, ‘a friend of mine said I should consider visiting a therapist they have found helpful, to help me with my stress and mental well-being. I know it’s a long process, but they claim professional intervention has really made a positive difference. I do want to feel better, so I’m considering it.’”4. Establish Trust & Comfort Level © Pexels
    The previous three steps should help ease your friend to not only handle conversations around mental health, but also warm them up to the idea of seeking help, be it in terms of opening up to someone and talking about their struggles, or even trying therapy.

    “Now the next essential step is to establish a solid ground for comfort and trust. Think of it like a safe haven they know they will have access to at all times - be it to vent, confide, seek advice or even just to acknowledge the emotions that are trying to overpower them. So building a strong, open relationship that is based on trust is imperative to help them continue on this journey and get better. Seeking professional help doesn’t mean they won’t need caring, trustworthy friends anymore. So you need to actively offer that security and safety to them.”
    5. Imbibe Positivity - Through Words & Actions © Pexels
    Dr Datta also reiterated that promoting positivity in and around an individual who is struggling with their mental health is of utmost importance. “While we need to acknowledge and identify all the emotional issues they are struggling with, that also cannot dominate your conversations all the time. You will also need to imbibe positivity in and around them through words as well as actions, which will give them a sense of hope. The idea is to encourage them to aspire for a better tomorrow that comes from choosing to get better today.” 

    Give these a try and we hope it helps someone in need.

    Gamers in India don’t have it easy. Sometimes, we get products late, and sometimes, we don’t get certain products here at all, not officially at least. Take the PlayStation 5 for example. Many gamers have been waiting with bated breath, eagerly waiting for the day when Sony would announce the official launch date and the pricing for their latest gaming consoles. And thanks to the actions of a Delhi-based man, it seems they have to wait even longer.

    PlayStation loyalists and a whole lot of other people who are eager to buy the console are understandably pissed and for good reasons. While they were waiting for Sony to release their console, Microsoft not just released their X Box Series S & Series X, but also put it on sale in India, at a rather impressive price. Meanwhile, all we know about PlayStation 5 is that it will be launched on November 12 in the US, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, and on the 19th for much of the rest of the world. Heck, some of these places can now pre-order theirs.

    Among many things that have caused this delay, and the indecisiveness about the Indian launch is the fact that a Delhi-based man actually filed for the trademark rights on ‘PS5’ before Sony did. Now, there are no reports stating that he was granted the trademark. However, it does put the phrase under dispute, because of which, neither Sony nor the Delhi-based man, Hitesh Aswani can now claim. Aswani had filed for the trademark about a year back, on the 29th of October 2019, whereas Sony filed theirs on the 28th of February 2020.

    Citizens on Twitter are understandably angry about this and have had a rather strong reaction to this.

    My only question is...why? Its honestly frustrating. Why would a man trademark a name that clearly emerges from a well established naming pattern employed by sony? This is so petty.

    Probably so they have to buy it from him. Pretty smart honestly.

    — Turnip is wearing a mask (@turnip_live) October 7, 2020According to a report filed by the Mako Reactor though, this shouldn’t be a problem for Sony, as long as “they’re able to prove their goodwill and existence prior to the initial filing done by what seems to be seemingly an unrelated individual.” But let’s face it, when has a legal proceeding ever been timely? 
    The “wise” option would be to switch over to the Xbox, especially for people who are looking for just a gaming console, and who don’t have a decent gaming PC.

    But do we really want to do that, especially given how we have historically leaned towards PlayStations over Xboxes? Gamers in India will have to wait a lot longer it seems
