October to December 2025 Editorial

This quarter, Dr. Saras Bhaskar reveals how Dr. O. Somasundaram unearthed early, empathetic depictions of schizophrenia in ancient Tamil literature, proving that mental health has deep cultural roots - and that compassion, not stigma, shaped early Tamil society.

Just how wonderfully, Bhuvana’s piece reminds us that generosity isn’t always about money - it’s about offering our attention, patience, and compassion. By practicing psychological generosity, even small moments can spark genuine connection and elevate our well-being.

Valli’s verses question whether we suffer by comparing ourselves to others or find freedom by embracing life as it is.

Finally, a poem by me captures the emotional tug-of-war mothers face while balancing identity, expectations, and unconditional love, celebrating the resilience and quiet strength that define motherhood.

A little something on World Men’s Mental Health Day, it reminds us that strength is not the absence of struggle, but the courage to speak about it. For far too long, men have been conditioned to bury their emotions behind silence, expectations, and stereotypes. These few lines are to honour their inner battles and create space for vulnerability, support, and open conversations. Let this day be a powerful call to normalise seeking help and to celebrate emotional well-being as an essential part of every man’s life.

April 2025 Editorial

The IPL fever is gripping everyone and even though our home team CSK is not where we want them we are no doubt glued to the screen. After a long break and with wonderful contributions from our dear members we come out with our April edition of XpressionZ.

Ms. Aarthi Prabhakaran has inspired us with a self-reflective write up “Invisible Disability and Intersectionality.” Ms. Laksmi through her article on “Cognitive Fog” brings out the difficulty in recalling memories which can result in overthinking and diminished concentration. Ms. Mina elucidates the common issues that professionals in the mental health field seem to experience through “SMART Management of C-A-L-M Concerns.” Mr. Mugunthan expresses his concern for employees through his piece ”Mental Health Of Employees – Who Is Responsible?”.

I am sure you can add further value to our editorial, so do send in your feedback, thoughts, and entries to ccfeditorialcommittee@gmail.com.
