A personal story which I would like to share at this time.

One particular patient came to us from my mother's native place. Very close to our ancestral home, in a village at the outskirts.
Upon finishing the disease related queries, examination and issuing of prescription, I revealed them my native home details.

My relative staying their had a mood disorder, with depressive episodes.
