How to make parents/family members docile and subservient in India

...flood them with homilies and top it with the *The Advanced Directive*? As if dealing with a serious mental illness on a daily basis is not enough.

The Advance Directive and Nominated Representatives were last seen in the Mental Health Care Bill with the Standing Committee, in the Parliament of India .....

Some responses to the above:

1. Not seen any valid, empirical or double-blind study in India in the efficacy of turning parents/family members into *nominated representatives* for those with serious mental illness.

2. After the whining noise transformed into reams of print, newspapers, studies,...>about the less than 2000 patients left behind by families in the 40 Government State Hospitals in India comes *The Advance Directive* in a Bill, as an innovation hailed and shouted by its supporters. Whether knowledge of dealing with mental illness on a daily basis was imparted to the impacted families of the less than 2000 patients is conveniently not spoken of. Not to mention that *the Advance Directive* is not an *original*. It is a copycat...


3. Confining parents/family members of loved ones with mental illness into a state of docility. As if the Government of India is like ancient Sparta giving nurturing care to all its citizens with serious mental illness.


4.*The Advance Directive* = a bestowal of a contract to celebrate legal capacity? Giving away one's right to life while still living?


5.The *Advance Directive* is a legal lasso for traditional knowledge transfer.

6. What is the *how that they will be treated* in the much pushed Advance Directive. http://bit.ly/1tz0oUG

7. *Tell me please, pretty please, before my father or mother are turned into *nominated representatives ...* http://bit.ly/1ue1dFd in India
 

8.Those pushing for *the Advance Directive* for mental illness, not pushing one for *fever* ? with and without delirium?

9.Those pushing for * the Advance Directive*, for mental illness, not pushing one for *diarrhoea*? 


10. Government of India is like >giving nurturing care to all its citizens with serious mentalillness (thinking about it brings tears to my eyes) could actually come up with *the Advance Directive* ?

11. Government of India is like >giving nurturing care to all its citizens with serious mentalillness (sobbing at the very thought) could come up with *the Advance Directive* with sim cards?

12. Seen awareness creation of mentalillness through different forms of media by Government of India on Mental Health Day? like HIV/AIDS, Cancer


13. Knowledge transmissions through creating awareness campaigns for mentalillness by the Government of India being left out http://bit.ly/1tz0oUG 


14. Any *Wake Up Directive*? Only Advance Directive?


15. No *Advance Directive* for stroke? All minds in India are in the stomach.  All minds in India are still in a vacuum?
