CD of the Week:

The mind and emotions will be the subject of next week's programme in the Klinika series. As usual Klinika airs live on Net Tv every Wednesday at 8.30pm with a repeat the next morning at 9.15am.

Mental and emotional problems can disturb the roots of a person's existence affecting their self esteem and ability to cope with the pressures of every day life.

Klinika will investigate a number of mental health disorders including phobias, anxiety and panic disorder as well as obsessive-compulsive behaviour. Our guest specialists will help us understand what phobias are and how people with genuine phobias can be severly restricted with their lives affected in many different ways.

Anxiety can also interfere with every day life. When this happens and anxiety becomes the usual response to ordinary situations, it is considered a disorder. Our guest psychiatrist, Dr. Joe Cassar will describe how panic disorder is a common, recurrent and unpredictable type of anxiety.

Finally we will see how with persons suffering from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) unwanted thoughts enter the mind repeatedly and these often involve anxieties about safety, hygiene or security of possessions. These unwanted thoughts are often accompanied by anxiety and irresistible urges to carry out compulsive actions over and over again.

As usual Klinika will also describe how advances in our understanding of the way the mind and body are interrelated have led to new ways of coping with these disorders.

Treatment ranges from touch and movement therapies to drugs, nutritional supplements, psychological therapies and stress management techniques.
