Abstract:
According to the National Institute of Mental Health in the United States, about 125, 000 Americans suffering from depression need to be admitted to hospital annually; 200, 000 undergo treatment in patient clinics and about 50, 000 commit suicide every year. Tension occurs due to the following reasons. 1. The volume of knowledge which every man has to master, has greatly increased overloading the memory. 2. The tempo of every day life has greatly intensified. 3.There is a great increase in political, moral, technical factors and other changes in which man has to adapt. 4. there is a limit to the human organisms responsiveness and man may not be capable of sustaining an infinite number of such adaptation. 5. Behaviour, mood, position of man tend to treat problems. 6. The length of time taken by education and training is greatly increased. To get rid of these, it is essential to teach the brain hygiene in schools so that the next generation is relieved from mental strain. Every man should learn early in childhood, so as to avoid overloading. Diet should be developed for intellectual workers. The nervous system can be stimulated by certain drugs like glucose, Glutamic acid, gamma amino butyric acid and gamma hydroxy. butyric acid.
