In the year 1995, Azim Khamisa's 20 year old son had just got engaged to his sweetheart. Next day, as he was doing his part time job of delivering pizza, a group of boys surrounded him and a 14 year old boy murdered him in cold blood. In 2023 Azim Khamisa runs a peace foundation with that 14 year old Juvenile boy who he also fought for to get him out of prison by forgiving him the murder of his only son.

Even after 100 years we have not been able to truly understand schizophrenia. So does that mean most of the understanding is a trial and error, including medications?

This Episode 108 of THE SOS SHOW, has Siddhartha Bhasker. Siddhartha is living and if i can say thriving with schizophrenia. He teaches Economics at Jindal Global University. He has published two short story collections and one novel. His novel 'A fish on the hook' based on his experiences of schizophrenia is being published online chapter-wise.

Digs:

1) Being diagnosed with Schizophrenia
2) Difference between theoretically understanding the illness
vs living with it.
3) Managing hard times- cities and small towns lack the infrastructure to
handle midnight calls for help.
4) Being a working economist and a professor.
5) Sharing your condition at your workplace.


Take care of yourself.

We are grateful to have his sister, Neha Bhatia with us on this episode to share this tragic story and why families and caregivers need as much support as the person going through a phase of depression or mental health issues.

In Nov this year, a case came to the forefront which brought a reminder of the Nirbhaya case. It was as traumatic and got similar reactions. It was the Shraddha Walker case where a woman in a live-in relationship for three years was chopped into 35 pieces by her partner. She had found the boy through a popular dating app. Our guest for this episode is Geetika Malhotra, a psychotherapist trained in Singapore and London. You can find her on Linkedin.

Digs:

1) Why is the blame being put again on a woman- Cultural patterns?
2) But again, why was she taking the trauma?
3) Do women have a pattern to take traumas? why? Historical relevance?
4) Do We think society and men are changing? They are but there are still patterns of old thought processes.
5) Blame on dating apps and crime shows- how fair is that?
6) Loneliness and trauma?
7) How should society react? How do we keep the trust alive?

Keep well.
