Indian aesthetic concept of Navrasas believes that all human emotions arise out of nine rasas (Rasa= essence of emotion; Sanskrit), within which lie all the feelings and moods that we experience in day-to-day life.

Let's explore all the 9 rasas and its related feelings! 
1) Shringar Rasa:
Principal Emotion: Love

From The Lens Of Navrasas 

Many aspects of modern lifestyle such as improper nutrition, higher stress levels, and hectic jobs are some reasons why more and more couples are visiting Fertility Clinics. Just as real are the scary rumours, shame and gender stereotypes around infertility that demand a lot of personal strength and willpower for individuals or couples to even consider taking this step.

Role of Clinical Psychologist in Fertility Clinics

IVF Treatment, as promising as it sounds, is surely a challenging process, both mentally and physically. A couple that has been trying hard to conceive or is going through this for the first time might need some help in managing their negative/demotivating tendencies.
Couples going through IVF treatment might commonly have thoughts like -

1) "It's heartbreaking that we can't conceive without medical help."
Why? Everybody paints a picture of their future and a lot of couples imagine themselves as parents someday. This hope leads to disappointment when they are unable to conceive without medical help.

How To Curb Negative Thoughts While Going Through IVF? 

A well-balanced diet helps us eat the right amounts of protein, calories, vitamins, and minerals each day. Food choices are important for patients with kidney disease, as the kidneys play a role in maintaining a balance of nutrients and minerals in the body, avoiding muscle-mass loss, preventing infection.
For an individual with kidney disease, the organ is not be able to function to its full capacity. Thus, making changes in the diet and fluid intake aids kidney functioning. Each individual requires their own diet plan, which is based on their current kidney function, and other factors like weight etc.

Tips for Diet Management for Dialysis Patients

Let us look into the challenging communication issues faced by a couple after the news of infertility: - 
 
Janie is 29 and her husband Mark, who is 30, have sought couples therapy to deal with the news that Janie cannot, in all likelihood, conceive a baby. Mark seems to be supportive, but deep within, Janie is terrified that he will leave her. Their marriage therapist assists them in exploring other options for raising a family and how to accept the feelings of resentment and confusion about what to do. Mark’s admission to these emotions upset her at first, as it seemed to confirm her fears, but she soon became appreciative of his honesty and emotional disclosure. His ability to express his mixed emotions helps him process his uncertainty of feelings and reach a place of acceptance and a renewed commitment to her.

Therapy works in wondrous ways to deal with the news of infertility. Many therapists, may be aware of both the physical and emotional challenges that accompany fertility issues. There are marriage and family therapists who may even specialize in therapy for individuals and couples facing fertility issues. People with infertility-related challenges find a safe space to discuss options and make decisions about how to proceed with alternate options like adopting, trying different fertility treatments, artificial insemination, surrogacy, or even separating from each other. Going through the therapeutic process and talking to a professional can also help couples deal with the hidden feelings of guilt or anger especially when only one person is infertile.

Mental illness is a delicate topic; and emotional, mental, and social support are the best way to thrive and successfully deal with any issues one is having. People need to be made aware of the misconceptions surrounding mental illnesses and their treatments.
A strong primary healthcare system in India that recognizes the value of mental health within itself, mental healthcare practices, and regulations are very important.
