## Resource

Do you have frequent panic attacks? Are there behaviour patterns that you know you need to change but you can’t? Is your day to day life ruled by fear? Then it’s possible – though not a certainty – that you’re displaying symptoms of trauma. According to govt estimates, more than 15 crore live with a mental health condition, and four out of five receive no treatment. Trauma, in particular, is a silent epidemic in India. What is trauma? How does it impact life and relationships? And what are the pathways to healing? A new book, titled ‘Trauma Nation: Fighting India’s Silent Epidemic’ explores all these questions. It also includes detailed – and inspiring -- case studies of trauma survivors. We speak with the author of ‘Trauma Nation’, Nishtha Lamba, Associate Professor of Psychology at Middlesex University, Dubai.
