Earlier today, I was sitting on a neighborhood park bench eating a sandwich when an elderly couple pulled their car up under a nearby oak tree.

He took her hand and helped her out of her seat, guided her about ten feet away from the car, and they slow danced for the next half hour under the oak tree. It was a beautiful sight to…

Hypocrisy can be a galling trait — when someone exhibits hypocrisy, its bad enough, but when its pathological, it is exasperating. Hypocrisy abounds these days and Christians know this all to well.   If you’ve studied your Bible and learned the history of Jesus’s days on earth, you will of course have learned about the Pharisees.

Written by: Rhea Srivastava, Moitrayee Das In a country where the treatment gap for almost all mental disorders is over 60% (Gururaj et al., 2016), the setting up of another NIMHANS means much more than just a new mental health institute in Northern India.
