A genuine mental illness named ‘Selfitis’ and its multiple levels such as borderline, acute and chronic, were discussed.

Seema Prabhu and Raksha Acharya, lecturers of Canara College, Radhakrishna Bhat, treasurer of ARIVU, Sapna Shetty, special educator, ARIVU, and students of Canara College were present during the session. The seminar concluded with an interactive session.
