Case Story: Helpless woman with prone to violence rescued

A 25 years old woman, Binu Tamang (pseudonym) was rescued in October 25, 2019 from Lamjung district. KOSHISH was informed about her condition by the local community people as she was prone to violence while wandering in the streets. She had been experiencing mental health problems from last 12 years. The primary symptoms were sitting alone, awkward laughing, wandering aimlessly, talking to self and lack of conscience. She had no concern and affection towards her children and husband. Her hygiene was deteriorating continuously and she had no conscience of eating regularly. The community people shared that her mother and brother also had similar mental health condition. Few years back her mother passed away. Her brother still has the problems and no treatment has been provided yet.

In the transit home, she has been provided with the psychiatric consultation. Now she is under medication. Her personal hygiene is being maintained by the caregivers at transit home. The staffs are providing care and support to her. Hopefully, she will recover soon and we will reintegrate her back in her own family.
