Kulwant Kaur-AKA Sheeda

A New patient had admitted herself to Pingalwara yesterday. I was assigned to do her Case History work up and Evaluate her and diagnose her. Pt is a 58 yo Indian Sikh Female, Unmarried, Lawyer. Pt has been depressed since her teenage years (18-19yo) while in school/college. Pt feels she is very sensitive to what anyone says- and therefore after practicing law for 1-2 years she left law. Her Family was not supportive of her educational background. Pt lived with Mother and 2 brothers along with their wives and children. After mothers death in 1995- pts brothers and their families would fight with patient to make her life HELL. Pt was forced to leave her home- and she started to live at the Darbar Sahib (Golden Temple). She is severely depressed, pt is unable to eat, sleep, or partake in any activties. Pt feels vulnerable, and unable to function. Pt is also very paranoid- in regards to any male ruining her image or challenging her character. Pt is very fearful of any male presence, therefore a female sewadarni must go with her to all doctors appointments etc.. This patient is VERY INTELLIGENT, and EDUCATED! My plan is to get her started on some psychotropic medications and possible have her join up with a group called SHAKTI- this group deals with WOMEN, especially those who have been harassed by their husbands, families etc.. This group is for women, to help them get back into the world.
Kulwant Kaur has lost her whole life to Depression and Paranoia- But if I can do anything about it, I want to see her working again- and its VERY POSSIBLE!!! I want her life to become meaningful ONCE AGAIN!!!! :o)
I Am very passionate about her- and she is willing to do whatever it takes, and whatever I say.
LETS ALL PRAY FOR KULWANT KAUR- All my patients need your prayers- and that's all I'M ASKING FOR!
Thanks for reading my Blog!
