अमरी अस्पताल ढाकुरिया कोलकाता

Sometimes life offers you a second chance to live with the conditions you have and give you the best version of yourself. Vandana is around 29 years old and has been a patient with depression for the last year. She came to know about her depression last year in September and she has been taking medications for the same since February 2021. During the time of lockdown in 2019, she felt the need to leave the job because of the infections and the spreading of the virus. Also, many offices and the school were having some changes in their regulations. So it was causing difficulty for Vandana to continue with her job and look for another one.

How did Vandana receive help?

• Vandana started spending her spare time gymming, watching TV, and doing everything that she could not perform while pursuing her regular job.

• Somewhere things were different this time. Vandana was not talking the way she should have earlier.

• She got a lot of changes in her personality and this was affecting her parents.

• Once Vandana got herself injured while performing exercises in the gym. The way she talked to the doctors of Amri Hospital Kolkata, the doctor suggested to the parents that something was wrong with her brain activities.

• On one hand, without informing Vandana, the doctor had an EEG to detect the signals of her brain. On other hand, the doctors came to know that everything was normal with Vandana but the way she was talking clearly showed how she was going through various issues.

It was the first time when Vandana came to know that she was having depression. This is not only the case of Vandana but many others in India, where people go through depression and often feel uncomfortable accepting things.
