SUMMARY:A Event On Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:The Houston Chapter of WZCC holds dinner events for its members several times a year featuring distinguished speakers from various disciplines. The speakers are carefully chosen for their expertise in topics that help our members in their profession\, business\, or personal lives. \nOn March 10\, 2016 the Houston Chapter of WZCC presented Dr. Bahadur Sarkari\, M.D.\, a distinguished psychiatrist with a long and successful clinical practice in London and the U.S. Dr. Sarkari is double Board Certified − in Adult Psychiatry as well as Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. \nIn his one-hour presentation titled: “All You Wanted to Know About Mental Health But Were Afraid to Ask”\, Dr. Sarkari kept the audience totally engaged with fascinating myths\, facts\, and actual cases of the wide variety of disorders that make up mental illness. In a very well organized talk\, Bahadur Sarkari exposed the myths and wrong attitudes people have towards mental disorders. The spectrum of disorders that psychiatrists have to deal with ranges from anxiety\, the most common problem\, to schizophrenia\, the most devastating mental illness. For each of eight different disorders\, Dr. Sarkari covered its cardinal features and symptoms\, along with the treatment and medications that help alleviate them. Particular attention was paid to Alzheimer’s disease and the special problems that mental health creates in the work place. \nHe presented alarming statistics that highlighted the widespread and serious consequences of mental illness\, leading to poor job performance\, dysfunctional family life\, and sometimes even suicide. Typical cases of mental illness that Dr. Sarkari encountered in his practice often brought humorous and astonishing reactions from the audience. \nDr. Sarkari’s presentation was very well received\, as evident from the animated discussions and questions that followed. WZCC (Houston) is grateful to Dr. Bahadur Sarkari for taking the time to share his knowledge with our members. \n“WZCC (Houston) helps members succeed as entrepreneurs and professionals through career enhancement\, better financial management\, and enrichment of their personal lives.”

SUMMARY:Ervad Dr. Parvez Bajan : Philanthropy – The Best Virtue According to Zoroastrianism.
DESCRIPTION:WZCC – Houston Chapter Event \nOn October 24\, 2019\, a joint event with North American Mobed Council (NAMC) was organized at the newly opened Shahi Darbar Restaurant. Ervad Dr. Parvez Bajan spoke on Philanthropy – The Best Virtue According to Zoroastrianism. Ervad Bajan is a sixth-generation priest and serves as head priest of the Seth B. M. Mevawala Fire Temple\, Mumbai\, which has been managed by his family since the enthronement of the fire in 1851. Ervad Bajan at the age of 65\, earned a doctorate in a rare subject\, Avesta-Pahlavi\, the language of the Zoroastrian scriptures. With the courtesy of NAMC\, Ervad Bajan was on a lecture tour starting in Chicago\, then Houston and ending with 3 talks in Southern California. \nErvad Bajan addressed an audience numbering 40+ including businessmen and professionals\, about the virtues of philanthropy. He gave some examples from Zarathushti prayers that emphasize the importance of charity in our daily lives. Quote: “……May charity overcome greediness….. etc.” \nHe also pointed out what our basic prayer clearly spells out that “He who gives assistance to the poor acknowledges the kingdom of God.” \nErvad Bajan went on to deliver two more lectures at the Bhandara Atash Kadeh in Houston over the weekend.\nWZCC- Houston Chapter thanks NAMC for making this event possible.
