The travails of head hunters

" So how are you feeling today, Mr. Sharma? ", asked the bespectacled goatied doctor .
" Ah, doctor, I feel......so low" , replied the patient lying on the couch.
" Low? What do you mean ?"
" You know, that sinking feeling. No one loves me, no one cares for me any more."
"And?" pressed the knowledgeable psychiatrist.
" Voices in my head.Buzzing all the time"
" And?"
" Headaches."
By now, the doc's eyes were gleaming.
" Did you take the pills, Mr. Sharma?"
" Which ones, doc?"
" The ones for your depression. You know, the red ones, the blue ones and the yellow ones."
" That's precisely the problem, doc. I keep forgetting to take them . My memory has been going down the drain ever since I started taking those pills."
" What do you mean" by now, doc was on high alert.
" Side..........effects. I was reading in a journal."
" Trash!! Just throw away the journals. Why do you read rubbish ?"
" Doc......." Mr. Sharma stammered, " What about my loss of libido?"
" Ah, let me see" , the knowledgeable doc took out a lengthy tome," Hmmm" , he looked up from the book, spectacles nicely placed like a pair of gleaming owls," Sigmund Freud is of the unanimous opinion that this is due to your Id, Ego and Superego colliding with each other."
" But what does that mean, doc?"
" Mr. Sharma" , the wise doc looked at him gravely as a school headmaster might look at his errant pupil, " Your bipolar is back. . Together with your schizophrenia ."
" Doc..,..my wife ran away with my best friend." .Mr. Sharma was almost in tears.
" Ah... that is your cause for your depression getting aggravated. "
" Do you have a cure, doc? " Sharmaji was desperate now.
" Don't you worry, Mr. Sharma. The new pills in the market. The latest research shows that the green and yellow ones are far superior to what you are taking now ."
" How long do I need to take them , doc?"
" Lifelong . Or probably indefinitely. But you will get well, I assure you " Dr. Chowdhury ,DPM, MD, DNB , MRCPsych et cetera , looked at poor Mr. Sharma as a tiger would look at his prey.
" What about the earlier pills, doc?"
" Throw them away."
" What about the costs?" Mr. Sharma pressed, " I spent a fortune on those."
" Collateral costs, Mr.Sharma. The price of keeping well. On second thoughts, give them to me. I will use them for my poor patients."
" Poor patients? They buy these drugs?"
" Latest research, Mr. Sharma" , said the wise doc, " the price of keeping well."
By now, Mr. Sharma, diagnosed over the years with depression, mania, bipolar disorder, psychosis , schizophrenia, anorexia nervosa and what not , was thoroughly confused. But he thought it better to heed the advice of the wise doc.
" Ok doc, I will take your leave then. What about your fees?"
" In the reception,over there. Please come back after one month."
" So soon, doc?"
" The price of keeping well, Mr. Sharma. Now if you would kindly excuse me, there is the next patient waiting."
Mr. Sharma took his leave.Thus ended the consultation.

Lord Shiva- the first bipolar

Image
  Bipolar. A person who is maniac and depressive alternately. Happy at one time, sad at another. The APA ( American Psychiatric Association) of USA, the imposing grand daddy of the global " mental healthcare system “ ,who decide arbitrarily via their network of psychiatrists worldwide as to what constitutes a mental disorder and what does not ( with gentle and not so gentle prodding from Pharma companies) ,says that people with bipolar disorder , " have extreme and emotional mental states that occur at distinct times, called mood episodes." And going by standard psychiatric literature, the occurrence of bipolar disorder is around 3% in the community (again, based on arbitrary and questionable criteria decided by psychiatrists ). Is that the case, really ? To critically examine this issue, let's look at the "case" of Lord Shiva, whom many of us worship daily, in all his glory.Lord Shiva is silent,medit...

The Spirit-what is it actually

Image
x The spirit does not die. Simple statement of Hindu philosophy, the core of the Advaita tradition. As   said in the Bhagavad Gita, Samkhya Yoga “ Na hanyam, na hanyate ( the spirit does not kill or let kill).”Even while you kill your enemies, your kill their body (and their mind), but never the spirit or soul ( Atman). Bhagwan Maharishi Ramana defines this spirit   as the “ I”,   that which is unique to us all, thus has to be perceived by us uniquely. He defines “ I” as the sole phenomenon that drives the world, the Shiva tattva that is present inside us all , and I wholeheartedly agree with him. The Bhagwan would know- it was this “I “phenomenon which helped him to battle cancer undaunted till his death in 1950 . It was the same spirit which allowed my late father to battle lung cancer undaunted till his end . It is the same spirit that allows all of us to face life’s multiple problems everyday. Without “I”, there ...

Auld lang syne

Another year is about to start. For some, probably a fresh new beginning; for some, the continuation of an old story; for others, a perfectly legitimate excuse to let their hairs down! Whatever the story , the music is going to come blaring on, the DJs are going to line up their numbers, the parties are going to begin, the wine is going to flow, and all are going to enjoy- the pediatric ( child),geriatric (old),) and psychiatric ( wacko) populace included. I remember the year we had spent New Year’s Eve dancing around the bonfire, non-alcohol induced, with family friends, at a forest in Jhargram, West Bengal, where probably the only lights today during New Year’s Eve would be that from the Maoist lanterns. It was perfectly safe and normal to spend holidays there in those parts during those days, just as it is unsafe today. I had told my wife (then-fiancée) that I would have rather spent the night in the company of “ spirits”, and had got an earful on the virtues of not drinking. Today,...
