acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/AN… Fathers, sons, love, betrayal and what remains in the end. Wrote this after a particularly poignant patient encounter.

At my university, economic scarcity and austerity are lived realities for thousands of our brilliant, high achieving students. thenews.pk/tns/detail/140…

I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung: To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.

𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻: I am deeply grateful to @HamidMirPAK for giving mental health the seriousness it deserves by inviting the Head of Psychiatry at @KEMULahore Dr @Ali_Madeeh, to speak on the growing mental health crisis in Pakistan. These conversations must happen more often, at the highest national forums, and most importantly they must be led by qualified, experienced, and articulate professionals like Dr Hashmi, not by influencers or non-psychiatric doctors with superficial understanding of mental health realities.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗣𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗸𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻: King Edward Medical University hosted Pakistan’s First International Child Psycon 2025, a landmark child and adolescent mental-health conference organized with the Pakistan Psychiatric Research Center under the theme “Healthy Minds, Bright Future.” The event brought together leading experts from Pakistan, the UK, USA, Qatar, and other countries. Prof. Nazish Imran and Prof. @Ali_Madeeh led the initiative, with VC Prof. Mahmood Ayyaz , Prof. Khalid Masood Gondal, and Dr. Amjad Saqib as chief guests. International Speakers included Professor Dr @WaqarAzeemMD, Program Director of Child Psychiatry at Harvard, Dr @ZhealaQayyum, Associate Professor Dr Kiran Khalid, Professor Dr Javed Afzal (Former President of WPS), etc. Speakers stressed early intervention, community involvement, and reducing stigma to build a mentally healthy future generation. The conference was widely praised as a major milestone for advancing child mental-health research, policy, and training in Pakistan. Most importantly, initiatives like this play a vital role in correcting misconceptions about child psychiatric conditions and tackling the stigma attached to them.
