W e are a family based out of Kolkata. My nephew (now 17 years old) has

been suffering from severe mental health issues like depression since his
childhood, which has hampered his schooling and has left him a loner with no
friends. We have consulted a number of doctors, but no one has been able to
bring about any improvement in his condition so far. We hope to find a good

doctor soon.

I live in Uttar Pradesh. I am facing depression because of emotionally taxing

relations with family and friends and negative comments from everyone. I
want to forget all the negative moments of my life. I have tried a lot to forget

and also joined a meditation class but whenever I study, only negative
thoughts run in my mind. I have lost my whole career because of this. I want
the remaining parts of my life to be happy.

M ain depression ka four years se patient hoon. Meri treatment chal rahi hai

par mujhe koi relief nahi hai. Meri koi counselling bhi nahi karta. Meri job
mere treatment ki wajah se chali gayi hai aur mujhe medicine purchase karne

mein bhi problem ho raha hai. Agar mujhe counselling aur thodi relief mile,
toh meri bahut madad hogi.

M y mother is a teacher by profession. She has been a depression patient

since the last 14 years. She has tried to kill herself twice but I have managed to

save her both times. She also suffered from meningitis at one point in time
and I had to carry her to the hospital. With the help of my father and her
sister, she is doing better now. She really liked watching your episode. We
want to thank you for the same.
