This is the last drawing of a schizophrenic patient just before suicide.Schizophrenia is a disease for which people can’t cope up reality with their worlds that they created inside their minds.These people can often hallucinate,go through horrors alone.

And when they can’t relate with their worlds and they can’t accept the reality,they commit suicide. This is what happened with the real child nobita that was portrayed on the world famous cartoon “doraemon” of Japan.That cartoon was based on his story but the writers took out the dark side of it.Doraemon was not a real robot.In fact,it was nobita’s imaginary created world’s friend who was beside him all along.This story was a little scary for young children so they didn't keep these parts.Schizophrenic patients see bugs,demons,devilish things in their imaginations.It's really scary and suffocating that they can't get out of their own thoughts.People are sometimes born with this disease and sometimes trauma causes it.However,doctors these days have found some cures for this disease but it's not guaranteed.
Depression,anxiety,bipolar disorders are some common disorders and not as unfamiliar as schizophrenia.These things can be within a lot of people we roam around with everyday.Depression is an illness that is caused by extreme sadness.People with depression can not feel happiness and fun often,they feel almost nothing except the sorrow.Bipolar disorder is when someone feels happy in a moment and unhappy in the next.They have no control over this type of feeling of theirs.They may feel mood swings too often.Anxiety and nervousness is feeling the fear too much of what's going to happen.They worry too much.
Post traumatic stress disorder also known as PTSD is too much stress going on in people's heads all the time because of a past trauma.This can ruin a person's regular life pretty much as it makes them lose their focus and makes it harder for them to do any other work other than stressing.They also procastinate much more than others.
ADHD is attention deficit hyperactivity disorder where people cannot focus on anything for a long time,or even worse ,for a short period of time.People who have this disorder worry more than others and think about something else while another thing is going on.But they are good at multitasking.They often become hyper just like PTSD patients.
OCD aka Obsessive compulsive disorder is when people need perfection in almost everything and cannot bear if a thing is any other way than the perfect way (according to them).It makes them crazy how something can not be perfect.
Why we need to talk more about these and how to come to a solution
A mother in Bengaluru,India flung her daughter off the balcony from her house.Anybody would wonder,how can a mother kill her child.But these happened because of post-partum depression.A mother goes through a lot physically during her pregnancy and birth time and even after that.According to some conservative minds,it's the mother's responsibility to take care of her child no matter what.As if,the father doesn't have to contribute in upbringing the child.That's why some mothers turn into monsters and kill their children due to depression.
Many celebrities,players,famous artists and normal people like us go through these diseases and struggle.We're ashamed to talk about it that what if people judge us.But if we don't talk and discuss the problems,how will we ever come to a solution.We need to find cures of these by understanding people's views and talk to them openly.
