history.

In second week our Psychologist in Social welfare center gave us the lecture on DSM-V. DSM
contains descriptions, symptoms, and other criteria for diagnosing mental disorders. It
provides
a common language for clinicians to communicate about their patients and establishes
consistent and reliable diagnoses that can be used in the research of mental disorders. She
taught us in detail about all the psychological disorders, their symptoms and how can we deal
with them.

WEEK 3.
In third week we all fellows did a counselling session in Social welfare center. We did this
session with ladies who were widows and dealing with depression and anxiety. We talked to
them, listened to them and tried to motivate them to move on. They were all hopeless but
they
felt good after this session. They were so happy by this session and told us to do this often.
