Effects of the pandemic on the mental health of children and adolescents.

The extended lockdowns and stay at home restrictions put in place to curb the widespread dissemination of the corona virus has tested our mental health thresholds to the maximum.

Children and adolescents are facing a major brunt of these stresses due to the disruption of regular, quotidian activities involving school visits, extra curricular activities and limited interaction with peers coupled with online classes, prolonged periods indoors and limited social and emotional stimulation. So, how exactly does this affect them ??

Psychological stress symptoms such as low mood, irritability, anxiety or depression.
Lack of vigour to partake in daily activities or conversations.
Lack of social controls such as teachers, peers or other outside influences on a child’s psychosocial equilibrium.
Added pressures and lack of motivation due to sudden and unprecedented changes such as introduction of online classes and cessation of play time, outdoor activities.
Risk of untoward or inappropriate usage of online resources. Global estimates show a 30% increase in exploitation of children for pornography and exploration of such sites by younger children who have free, unrestricted or unsupervised access to the internet.
Increased risk of self harm or suicidal thoughts or tendencies. Global estimates show an average of 35% increase in suicide rates or self harm across all age groups.
Increased risk of child physical or mental abuse. This mainly pertains to those children who have abusive parents, witness domestic violence, live with a caretaker or come from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

So how can a parent support and help a child navigate through this challenging phase?

Talk to your children openly about the pandemic in a way they can easily process it.
Explain the advantages derived from this time. This can include points such as increased time with family, opportunity to unwind and relax from mundane routines, time to learn new activities or discover new passions, etc.
Spend quality time talking, interacting and engaging with your children.
Find activities such as exercising or family games that you can all partake in.
Create a conducive environment at home for a peaceful and happy mental status of your children.
Avoid excessive nagging or discouragement of your children.
Give your children a chance to open up their feelings or emotions to you.
Create an opportunity for your child to understand and get a positive approach towards usage of technology in the betterment of education and communication with friends and family.
Encourage your child to utilise this opportunity to focus on self-development and stay away from negative influences such as bullies at school.
Instil in your child the need to focus on spirituality and self-love.
Prevent your own stresses at work or involving finances to overshadow your child’s need for happiness.
If you have a child at high risk (with previous mental health concerns or physical disabilities), stay in touch with a psychologist and paediatrician through teleconsultation services like Curie Health.
Identify vulnerable behaviour and address it immediately.
Help children or families around you that may be struggling to cope. This will also help mould your children to be magnanimous and humanitarian on the long run.

This challenging time could turn out to be the best time for your child’s emotional growth and maturation if he/she receives the optimum level of support and understanding from parents. Therefore, it emerges as a solemn responsibility of each parent to render an unwavering commitment and support to children, in order to induce a favourable outcome at these testing times.

Effects of the pandemic on the healthcare system and how Curie can cushion the impact..

The corona virus pandemic has engulfed most part of this year- 2020! As the effects of this global catastrophe on all domains become more and more evident with time, it is rather wise to be a step ahead and preempt the various ill effects it may have on our business and take effective precautions to dampen these.

So how has this pandemic affected healthcare and our clinical practices??

A study by Commonwealth fund estimates an average of 50% decline in the outpatient visits currently as compared to the pre-pandemic statistics.
A Hearing review study shows that almost 66% of hospitals and healthcare professionals owning private practices have applied for a loan or have sought alternative funding sources during this pandemic.
A KFF analysis shows that there has been a demand reduction of over 60% in Dentistry, 45% for general physicians, 40% in hospitals, 39% in home healthcare and nursing services, 32% in medical laboratory services and 5% in pharmacies!

doctor dentist clinics — Current demand for various healthcare specialisations if average demand pre-pandemic is kept as 100% (for easy reference) for each of these specialisations.

The crux of the above statistics is that ‘Healthcare professionals and services that are not directly related to the management of the pandemic are in a dull phase, witnessing losses worth billions.’

So how can Curie help your clinical practice during these unprecedented times??

Curie helps you to increase your clientele through personalised business consultations, marketing and business development strategies.
Retaining your existing patients and improving business generated by their referrals through proven methodologies.

Negligible returns from your clinic’s marketing strategies? Ask Curie..

Most clinic owners spend hefty sums of money to pay third parties to carry out various marketing strategies to improve their business. However, many a times, the amount spent on these and the returns they produce fail to add up. So where exactly is the problem?

Majority of these third party companies do not focus on the need to individualise or personalise any strategy executed. They rather juxtapose a common strategy that worked for xyz client on all the clients and these evidently do not always yield positive results.

How exactly can one tackle this issue? Contrary to the popular belief that ‘One strategy fits all’, a different approach should be charted out based on the market research and data analytics of each clinical practice. This is definitely more time-consuming and involves higher monetary resources. However, the resulting success or returns are well worth the initial efforts that are put in.

Curie helps to increase your marketing strategy returns by:

• Offline and online marketing strategies that are tailor made for each clinical practice

• Complete data analysis to determine the most successful areas of business development

• Listing of clinical practices on Curie’s online map

• SEO optimisation and enhanced visibility on online sources

• Devising approaches to improve patient retention

• Focusing on increasing new patient walk ins and referrals

• Complete digitalisation of the clinic and clinical processes, setting the clinic apart from its competitors

• Periodic evaluation of the existing strategies and reforming them according to current market needs

• Building a rapport with old and new clients by SMSs or push notifications

Doctors and health professionals with Curie have seen the following outcomes

• More time to focus on clinical aspects as Curie takes care of operations and marketing

• Improved patient satisfaction and retention

• Increased trust levels among patients/clients and more referrals

• Significant improvement in revenue and patient statistics.

These are some services that make Curie unique and our highly efficient team works around the clock to help you propel your business to the next level.

Importance of periodic Master Health Check-Ups after 25 years of age..

Health is universally and most commonly defined as ‘A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of a disease or infirmity’. What this implies in a broader view is also that- ‘Prevention is better than cure’.

With increasing awareness of diseases and illness and more consciousness about health, most of us aim to lead a healthy life. This term of being ‘Healthy’ is not always purely subjective. It also requires an ‘Objective’ approach where facts and figures are taken into consideration. So what exactly are these facts and figures?

Without any medical investigations or tests, someone who is ‘Feeling’ completely healthy might not be so. This is where periodic health check-ups can be underscored. These check-ups constitute of the following:

Routine physical examination: BMI estimation, pulse rate, body temperature, etc.
Basic blood and urine investigations: To determine any anemia, blood cell-related issues, early indicator of kidney ailments, systemic or metabolic diseases, etc.
Estimation of blood glucose levels: To determine if you are diabetic or a pre-diabetic. It is important to note here that someone who has a diagnosis as being a pre-diabetic can easily reverse this by lifestyle changes and avoid becoming a diabetic, needing medication.
Estimation of blood pressure: High blood pressure is a major indicator of potential stress levels, predicting heart or kidney-related issues, neurological issues such as stroke, and a lot of other minor and major ailments.
Chest X-Ray- To notice any infections, cancer, chronic conditions, smoking effects, changes in the heart, etc.
Kidney function tests
ECG, Echo to determine cardiac activity and health
Lipid profile: To determine cholesterol levels
Ultrasound abdomen: To study organs in the abdomen such as the liver, pancreas, spleen, and kidneys.
Add-ons or additional tests depending on individual preferences or doctor suggestions.
General medicine consultation along with any specialist consultation depending on need.

These are some of the basic things to expect in a routine medical check-up. It might take up to 8 hours to finish all of these but it has a lot of benefits to offer. The most important benefits include:

Identification of any upper ranges in the normal test reports and advising basic lifestyle changes to correct these.
Prevent any future diseases or ailments by staying connected to health professionals and constantly monitoring your body.
Early detection of any major disease or illness can help to avoid progression and enable quicker response and smoother recovery.
Medical queries or doubts can be cleared regularly.
Assessment of possible mental health issues including depression or anxiety.

Early detection of life-threatening diseases can save more 100 million lives every year, around the world.
WHO

The other benefits of early detection potentially include:

Healthier lifestyle changes
Lower treatment costs
Lower duration of treatment
Better chances of recovery.
Better treatment outcomes.
Better coping with a diagnosis.

This pandemic has given us all a fresh new perspective and portrays more strongly the vital role of ‘Health’. As countries and its people recover from this virus, it is important for all of us to constantly take care of ourselves and our health. If you are above 25 years of age, it might be the right age for you to take the onus of your health and consult a doctor regarding a health check-up. For those who have already had one or more check-ups, it is mandatory to periodically repeat these at intervals suggested by your doctor.

As we all take measures to reduce exposure to the corona virus, most consultations have become digital. This would be the right time for you to download the Curie app and find a doctor online.
