  WHAT IS QUANTUM MIND? The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a group of hypotheses proposing that classical mechanics cannot explain consciousness. It posits that quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition, may play an important part in the brain's function and could explain consciousness; and that t here is something micro-physical quantum mechanical about the brain.  Classical mechanics   is a physical theory which  describes the motion of macroscopic  objects, such as projectiles,  parts of machinery  and astronomical objects , like spacecraft, planets, stars  and galaxies . For objects governed by classical mechanics, if the present state is known, it is possible to predict how it will move in the future (determinism), and how it has moved in the past (reversibility).

Children fail to develop to their full "genetic potential" not just because of the deficiency of the basic needs but also because of the environment both at home and outside (social deprivation) the deficiency has given rise to.

https://borgenproject.org/mental-health-and-poverty-in-india/ Abstract This research paper tries to examine the relationship between poverty and mental health problems. The mental health of individuals is shaped by the social, environmental and economic condition in which they are born, grow, work and age. Poverty and deprivation are key determinants of children's social and behavioral development and adult mental health. The causal role of stressful life events associated with poverty appears to be a significant risk factor in a wide range of psychological illnesses.
