I am not a medical pedson, and yet i can understand what is happening. And i am sure they all do too.
And bb just cashed this to provide voyeuristic pleasure to its audiences. So yeah if i can understand and empathise, without being a doctor. I am sure they all can do too.
I am a mom of a kid on autism spectrum and various other comorbidities associated. Along with medical help and threpies, i found kindess of people, acceptance and empathy equally helpful. So i speak from experience
I have no intention to argue whether medical science is bigger or whether humanity. Both, imo. And my point was never that awareness is below kindness, my point was even if people do not understand things, they can still show kindness. So, for me kindness is not up for debate. :)
And yes,again reiterating, i do not have any kind of medical background. So i may not have exact terms and labels. But i do understand that anyone can show kindness without knowing any of the terms,
Afsanas situation asked for RATIONALITY rather than kindness. Yes people with mental health issues requires kindness , but not at the cost of one's own safety and safety of the concerned individual. sometimes showing kindness to a highly volatile individual like afsana will do her more bad than good.
The best thing others could have done was to stop arguing with her , call for help from bb.
Kindness, acceptance and empathy will enable the affected individual to have a normal place in society.iam no way undermining the importance of above mentioned qualities.
I have stopped expecting kindness or empathy for mentaly ill people. Now I merely expect some sort of understanding from family and friends when we repeatedly educate them regarding the illness and its treatment. I used to feel bad when people show disdain for mentally ill people, but my experience have taught me not to always berate others or look down upon them for not showing kindness or for not acting in a way which I want them to act.
Agree with your point that bb have stooped so low , making trp out of one's vulnerability. Its pathetic đ
