Hadsa | A psychological analysis  Hadsa drama on geo tv recently face criticism because the story is based on the motorway incident. And per the resources, according to victim no consent was taken and this is ethicaly wrong. Any director or producer have no right to make a story on someone who is already going through a lot of things and most important this drama will again renew her negative thinking, despair, insecurities, traumatic flashes, etc. How can you make a drama on someone's life??  Where are the ethical considerations? Our media only want views, publicity, fame, money, etc.  The victim still didn't get any lead of her case and so as justice is not done. Victim reported that how can makers on air her traumatic life incident without asking for permission? Victim said that she still facing problem in going back to her normal daily life routine. The emotions and mental state of victim is very much important and no matter how long the drama serial is , it should be stop

Natasha Hussain, famous model and actress, recently share her views about the host Nadir Ali. As we all know that Nadir Ali one of the famous and successful YouTuber, who currently running his show. He invites people from different fields like from showbiz, social activist, religious personality, controversial personality, and so and so forth. It has been seen number of times that Nadir Ali drag the conversation to next level where he actually degrading the women.

The guests sometimes feel uncomfortable, Nadir Ali feel no hesitation in talking about the kissing scenes of the actors and he actual

 Situation of Minorities in Pakistan A very sad incident taken place in Jaranwala, which is located in the Fasialabad. The news and videos of that incident circulating around social media. Around 16 buildings (including the church and holy places of christians) were brunt by the mob. Most of the houses were destroyed and burned by the mob. Christian people ran away from their houses to get their self secure from the mob.  Why that incident happen? One day, a sudden news came that the christian people are involved in blasphemy. And without analyzing and confirming the news , there were the 6 people who lead the mob and went to their community to do evil act.  This is not first time in Pakistan, that minorities were attacked brutally.

These assessment tools includes psychological testing. Unfortunately in Pakistan, we have psychological tests that are not based on our culture and values. And also those tests need to be validate on our population. In 2018, I have done my thesis during my MS clinical psychology. My thesis was bases on Validation of non verbal learning test.

The shapes were not like any circle , square, etc but those shapes were very different and cannot be named.  My project was to validate it on school children age range between 8 to 10 years. And then it was suggested to compare wit

Just after giving birth to a child, a woman can have this feeling, it starts after 2 or 3 days of delivery. It's symptoms include sadness, guilt and lack of interest in activities.  It may last for 2 or 3 weeks.
