“When my daughter fell ill in 1991, I hadn’t even heard of schizophrenia. The internet was new, so I used it to go through Wikipedia and other portals for preliminary information. Image
Over the years, I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience. Image
I wanted to pass on this critical knowledge to other families with similar stories through my book, 'Mental Illness and Caregiving. Image
I want it to be a Bible for caregivers in India. This will be what they call a swan song — my parting gift to the community,” says 79-year-old Bakshy.
