Just a thought to ponder......
-Why do children leave their parents, when the parent(s) have become mentally unstable? whether it be a son or daughter!????????
Coming from the South Asian community, we tend to believe that we, and only we, are the only people who can give proper care to our parents. The thought of putting our parents in nursing homes is completely out of the question…or is it?
The thought of putting your parents in an American standard nursing home is still bearable- although how could one leave their parents in Pingalwara? Drop them off and Never take them back. Only because they are out of control with their mental state of mind?
I have many cases where my patients children have left them in Pingalwara, and they are residing in a ward with some severely mentally ill patients, just because they are unable to care for their parents.
I thought only Americans were CRAZY!
MISCONCEPTION- for those of you who think that Indians are not Mentally Ill, YOUR WRONG!!!!!
In fact at least Americans are able to get the proper Psychiatric care needed to function and live a high quality life. India has hidden away their Mentally unstable patients in Pingalwara and other organizations.
