This is the eighth episode of Mind ki Baat, a Newslaundry podcast with a neurodivergent host with a focus on the invisible epidemic of mental health issues in society today.
This episode focuses on a specific aspect of trauma that is largely ignored in popular discussion – Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. A basic fact about PTSD is that while all those who suffer from this condition have gone through trauma, not all who go through trauma will have PTSD.
Approximately eight percent of the population will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, with higher rates among individuals exposed to combat or interpersonal violence.
The episode will focus on PTSD induced by natural or manmade disasters, and also PTSD among personnel in the armed services. It features conversations with Rajeev Mishra, a survivor of the 1983 Union Carbide Gas tragedy in Bhopal, and Divya Dawar, a senior clinical psychologist who regularly works with trauma victims who have faced violence and abuse.
