‘Mental health important for a healthy lifestyle’

PANCHKULA: Dr Rajiv Trehan, retired as in-charge of psychiatric and de-addiction ward from Government Hospital, Sector 6, Panchkula, is now practicing privately and runs a psychiatric and de-addiction clinic in Sector 12, Panchkula.

When asked about nationwide protest by doctors over the issue of attack on doctors, Dr Trehan said: “A doctor’s main aim is to provide best facility to patients. Sometimes due to work burden, especially at government hospitals, doctors cannot see all the patients, but it is always their priority to see emergency patients first.”

On asking about the nation-wide protest, he says: “The entire protest throughout the nation was only to spread awareness among the public to not attack doctors and to understand their situation. A doctor’s job itself says that he has to work to save human life by giving their best,” he added.

While giving a message to the public on Doctor’s Day, Dr Trehan said: “Looking for emotional health is important these days. Staying mentally healthy should be one’s priority for a healthy lifestyle in this busy world.”
