The Brain and Mental Health:




The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, and it is responsible for regulating all of our bodily functions, including our mental health. The brain is made up of billions of nerve cells called neurons, which communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals.

Mental health disorders are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors. These disorders can affect the brain in several ways, including altering the structure and function of the brain.

For example, depression has been associated with reduced activity in the prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain involved in decision-making and emotional regulation. Anxiety disorders, on the other hand, have been linked to over activity in the amygdale, a region of the brain that processes fear and other emotions.

Other mental health disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, have also been associated with changes in the structure and function of the brain. For example, individuals with schizophrenia may have reduced gray matter volume in the prefrontal cortex, while those with bipolar disorder may have abnormalities in the hippocampus, a region of the brain involved in memory and emotion.

Polls are delayed because CJP asserts that the highest court cannot compel the government to engage in discussions.

  Polls are delayed because CJP asserts that the highest court cannot compel the government to engage in discussions. The delay of polls due to the Chief Justice of Pakistan's (CJP) assertion that the highest court cannot compel the government to engage in discussions has raised concerns about the country's democratic process and the role of the judiciary in ensuring fair and transparent elections. The CJP's assertion comes as a blow to those who have been advocating for free and fair elections in Pakistan. The delay in polls, even if it is due to legal technicalities, has the potential to undermine public trust in the electoral process and fuel allegations of government interference in the judiciary. The argument put forward by the CJP is that the court has no power to compel the government to engage in discussions on electoral reforms or any other matter. This assertion is based on a narrow interpretation of the Constitution, which grants the executive branch of...
