The role of psychometric assessment in the diagnosis of persons with organic involvement had been reported since decade; however there is dearth of literature supporting the diagnostic significance of psychometric assessment in cases which apparently do not exhibit any active psychopathology or organic signs and symptoms. We report a case, referred for routine psychometric assessment for the purpose of diagnostic clarification. Detailed psychiatric history and MSE did not reveal any active psychopathology or signs and symptoms. In depth Psychometric assessment indicated significant organic involvement. Following which Neurological reference was sought. MRI was done which revealed well defined heterogeneous enhancing soft tissue lesion (5.94.24.2 cm in size) with areas of cystic/necrotic changes, calcification/hemorrhage in right temporal region. Psychometric assessment procedure is crucial for diagnostic clarification especially with persons who apparently do not exhibit any active psychopathology or organic signs and symptoms.Keywords

The base of one's childhood is built upon one's parents or caregivers, who help from world views, shape a child's attitude towards personal achievement, teach how to approach difficulties in life and satisfy their needs be they psychological and physiological. A parenting style is understood as a set of approaches and behaviors a parent elicits towards a child, therefore building an emotional environment in which the child is brought up in. Mental health of children depends on the way parents interact with them. The seed of good mental health is planted as early as childhood. Parents happen to be the most powerful catalysts in promoting good mental health in their children's lives. Parents' upbringing and child rearing styles are the important factors in changing and stabilizing the behavioral problems of children, similarly foundation of self-esteem is laid early in life. Present study reviews the relationship between parenting style and children's mental health and self-esteem that how different parenting styles (i.e., authoritative, authoritarian, permissive & uninvolved) affect the children's mental health and self-esteem.Keywords

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the common mental disorders with which youth are being affected. Even though people understand the symptoms of OCD they are not aware how to manage the obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. We present management of a case of young adult Muslim female with religious obsessions and cleaning compulsions by using Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The patient reported to Psychiatry OPD, KGMU with the complaints of excessive cleaning compulsions especially while performing religious rituals since last six years. She was not willing to seek pharmacological treatment, hence was managed by Cognitive Behavoir Therapy which included Cognitive Therapy and Exposure Response Prevention. The 45 minute sessions were scheduled twice weekly for one month and once weekly for the next two months. In addition follow up sessions were also planned. As the therapy progressed, the patient reported improvement in terms of her clinical condition and her general well being. There was 80-85 % improvement according to the patient and her mother. Cognitive Behavior Therapy done by integrating ERP and Cognitive Therapy proved to be beneficial for treating the religious obsessions and cleanining compulsions in a young adult female with chronic OCD but also helped to improve her general well-being.Keywords
