Netizens divided on handling mental health issues after Parambrata’s post
Actor-director Parambrata Chattopadhyay's online post of Ritwik Ghatak's son, Ritaban, sparks discussions about mental health issues and the need for an anti-discrimination law. Mental health activist Piya Chakraborty emphasizes the importance of discussing behavior towards individuals with mental health conditions rather than focusing on stigma. Ratnaboli Ray believes that destigmatizing mental health requires addressing systemic issues propagated by psychiatry and government policies. Psychiatrist Amit Bhattacharya suggests reconsidering the code of conduct regarding sharing photos of patients from the psychiatry ward, given the patient's consent. Psychiatrist Sabyasachi Mitra highlights the impact of celebrities openly discussing mental health issues.
