Bishikeshan backs to normalcy




Another couple of months and Bishikesan will be released from the hospital. He will back to his parents to lead a life of normal human being. Though it may take years to heal the trauma that he suffered for long 18 years because of his lunatic condition but he redeems normalcy because of his good luck. Timely release of funds by the district collector and treatment of doctors at mental wing of VSS Medical College Hospital would help an old couple to get back their only son in a normal condition. But it all happened because of his response of the treatment. Even doctors believe that chances of recovery in such cases depend on patient’s response to the treatment.
“This case was a big challenge for us. But we were never hopeless. But his response to our treatment was amazing and that helps him to improve speedily”, Dr. NM Rath, HOD of the mental wing of VSS medical college and hospital told.
According to Dr. Rath hundreds of patients come to the hospital for treatment. But those who response to the treatment, they recover speedily. “Many patients come for treatment. Bishikesan is also one among them. But his luck helps him to cure because of his response to the medicine. we have noticed a big change in his behavior. He has become quite normal and helps our staff in gardening and watering” Dr. Rath added. However he said chances of recovery become brighter incase treatment starts at the beginning stage of insanity, but Bishikesan is an exception.
Bishikesan was quite normal in his early days. He played with others and went to school with his mates in his native Laijhar village, a remote village under Jamenkira police station of the district, 45 km from here. The actual story starts when he was 15 years. Nobody remembers want happens than but he develops such a mental problem which changed his entire lifestyle.
“He started behaving unusual and pelting stones to the co villagers. Initially we took him to doctors for treatment and took the help of local gunia (tantric). But when we saw no changes we thought to get him married”, 65 years old father Biranchi Dhurua told recalling the early days.
The bride took no time to desert him after she came to know about the abnormal behavior of her husband. But this put a drastic effect on him and he became violent. And the parents chained him and kept inside a room. For 18 years he remained inside the room like a domestic animal. “Even after marriage when he continued to show abnormal behavior the newly bride did not stay and left the house. His violent behavior left with no other choice than to him inside the house”, Biranchi told.
But it is his old mother who believes that god has finally heard her pray. “I was always praying the god to recover him before my death. God has listened my prayer so now I can die happily” mother Debaki Dhurua, told.
