Sharing and caring
This refers to Anasuya Chakrabarty’s article “Thank you for sticking with me” (The Hindu, Open Page, December 22). Beyond the facts of the case, such daring revelations of experiences will go a long way in infusing confidence in care givers and individuals in different situations facing challenges, mental and physical. I am not in medical profession, but my experience is that with the exception of those who have specialised in psychotherapy or psychology, even doctors come to terms with the possibility of a patient suffering from ailments like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or Alzheimer’s. That being the case with medical profession, one can imagine the plight of families in reconciling to the existence of such ailment in the family and seeking medical help.
In such a context, articles like this help in creating awareness in the society which has a collective responsibility towards less privileged and challenged members. Thank you, Anasuya and The Hindu.

Excerpts from the article:

"In some ways, I am still fighting the condition. But you are my hope. You keep me going. There are days even now when I don’t want to wake up and get up from bed, but you talk me through and make sure I eat and at least do some of my daily chores."
