Logically and IRL she needs treatment and therapy. In western shows like Mr. Robot, they include the therapy in the show. But here everyone knows that mental health won't be handled delicately and therapy will not even be mentioned seriously.
So even the audience has to think in ITV terms while thinking about the future of the characters and story. And the makers of BY seems like prioritising drama over everything else.
That's why everyone is guessing and expecting stuff to happen as per the psychology of the writers, not of the characters coz consistency is seldom maintained. No 1 means any offense to real mental health issues. But to expect it to happen in here in realistic terms will only break the heart later.
We understand the present scenes are needed to show how vicious MJ is. But the USP of this show was Maya Jaysingh, not Manvi singh. So she needs to be back. If not immediately, atleast after some time. If not with MJ, then atleast with others.
Btw, I love your username. A doctor who fan 😍 ? Ironically the latest doc who episode also concentrated on mental health issues and inner fears.
I wish they would portray it sensitively in ITV but sadly the time hasn't come yet.
I actually love the fact that the writers have not at all forgotten about her PTSD and made her a superhuman whose every plan becomes successful no matter how hyperbolic a la Maya Mehrotra ( one of the many reasons why I could never warm up to that character despite being a JW fan). The fact they are not using the PTSD as a mere plot device but as something legitimate to show her character progression is what makes this show and the character realistic. We can't expect her to kick his balls from the very initial interactions itself...moreover the beaded thread is a placebo right now, she needs to understand the strength to face a monster comes from within! Moreover, Maya does not want to get healed and that's why she has not sought medical treatment as well.
PS: Yes I am a Dr Who fan and I am a doctor as well. I stopped watching after the 10th doctor's story got over! I need to change my UN..logged into IF after 6 years🤣
