A Dilusional Truth
Today,thing which em gonna write is not a mere story but a real life incident.Its not meant for entertainment but for creating awareness among the people.
I am a psychiatrist by the profession.I observe many clients during my work time.The most interesting part is about how a normal person could become so dangerous with his thoughts.I wonder how a normal personality turned in psychotic one.
So,not wasting your time,I will tell you about the story of that person.Actually that person wanted to spread this information.The main purpose of this story is not to break the confidentiality but to spread awareness among the people.
I will not disclose my client's name.He was 27 years of age.He complained that he was not able to sleep at nights.I enquired if anything bothering him.
He explained he can't sleep at nights due to continuous thoughts poping on his mind.I enquired him that about how long he was suffering from this problem.He answered,"From the past 3 years."Then I asked "What happened?"
He said,"I have a girlfriend in my past who cheated on me.I wanted to take revenge from her.For this purpose,I stalked her everywhere,wherever I can.My friends helped me in this game of revenge.I wanted to threaten her to feel like she was endangered."
He added further,"I was not contented with this, I wanted to ruin her life.I wanted to ruin her name.I secretly talked to her parents and spread rumors about her.I was so busy in disturbing her that I don't get time to analyze that what I have become."
I was listening to him and wondering that how could a simple person just turned into a dangerous person.Then I asked him that how was he so sure that her girlfriend was cheating on him.He gave me an answer that completely shocked me.He said that his previous girlfriend left her for money and his ugliness.
I was completely stunned by this answer.Just because of her previous experience he suspects her second girlfriend.Till now,you guys might be getting angry on him.I too got angry on it.But I am physician,we are supposed to keep our emotions aside and act unbiasly.
Then I asked him about his previous history.He said he was suffering from depression.Then I understood what was happening with him.He didn't cleared about his doubts that was on his mind.This lead to an another personality developed in him which was schizophrenic in nature.Ya, he was suffering from schizophrenia.I recommended him some lab test and from his findings ,it was clear that he was having schizophrenia which lead to delusions in his mind.
After taking certain medication,he got cured.I asked him about what he has learned from this all?
He said," Rather to think upon an issue,it would be a wise decision to clear the doubts just by face to face conversation."
We both laughed at it.He further added,"My friends believed me blindly.They were my friends,so they need to believe me.But this just happened due to lack of awareness in them.If they knew about it,I must not be suffering from this.But noone helped me out.So I just wanted to share this story of mine ,just to spread awareness among the people about schizophrenia.
So guys,schizophrenia is not a disease or its not like covid
,its just a thinking disorder that can be cured by appropriate medicine or even just by counselling.We must aware of our surroundings.There are so many people in our surroundings that are suffering from stress.We need to help them out.So if you guys notice such person who continuously suspests others or having some uncommon behavior just ask them,help them out or ask their families to take them to physician for checking.
