  My friend was always good at his studies. He never came second in school. We have always been best friends. When in college, he started dating a girl. Things were going well, and after college, my friend got a lucrative job as well.  When my friend proposed to that girl for marriage, she rejected him. My friend tried a lot to convince her, but he failed. Then he became an alcoholic to cope with the situation. I told him many times but could not help him to come out of alcoholism. His parents were so tensed and sad that they called me for help. My friend was so much into alcohol that he would break things if he did not get a bottle a day. He became so vulnerable that I had to take a step. Finally, I convinced my friend and made an appointment with the  bestpsychiatric doctor near me . The doctor heard us patiently. I told the psychiatrist everything about his downfall and how he became such an alcoholic. After that, the doctor started my friend’s treatment. Sessions of c...

My son is in 3rd standard in a reputed school in Kolkata. His best friend stays nearby. During this lockdown, my wife started teaching both my son and his best friend so that they neither get bored nor do they give up on their competitive attitude.  This online way of teaching and learning is yet to be accepted by many children as they miss their school and the fun they used to have, along with studies and extra-curricular activities. A few months ago, my son said that his friend was behaving strangely. I did not pay attention to it, but after a week, the child's mother had a talk with my wife regarding his son's changed behaviour. He used to sit alone and did not talk with anyone. He even stopped sharing things with my son, who happened to be his best friend. The child's parents were tensed; they were in search of a child psychiatrist. I provided them with the contact number of the  best psychiatrist  who also treated my sister's daughter when she was in class 5. I tru...

  This pandemic has influenced both our personal and professional life. It has become extremely difficult for us to differentiate both from each other. As a result, our lives are getting messed up. This work from home concept has taken all the peace of our minds. Towards the beginning of the lock down, my manager had verbally forced me to work 12 hours a day. I tried to manage at first but failed, so I directly talked with him over the phone about the situation but of no use. I had no other option than to work for at least 12 to 13 hours a day. It affected my sleep as I was under stress. Once I tried talking to the head, he also said that nothing could be done as everybody worked hard. When it was the time of appraisal, I neither got the hike of salary I expected nor could I secure the position I deserved and worked hard to achieve.  I got anxious. At first, I thought it would go with time, but my anxiety attacks kept on coming back. My wife witnessed all my whims, and she d...
