Mind, Body, Heart: How Shanti Sewa Griha Supported Karishma’s Struggles with Post-Partum Depression

Mental health issues among people can often remain undetected and untreated for long periods of time… until they have consequences for their near and dear ones. This is exactly what happened with Karishma Pariyar who was already suffering from post-partum depression upon her arrival at Shanti Sewa Griha and, on more than one occasion, nearly took her own child’s life.
Supported by a team of trained and qualified mental health professionals at Atman Expressive Arts Therapy and Healing Center, Karishma underwent intensive care and treatment during her stay at Shanti Sewa. Her efforts and commitment to the program eventually bore fruit and became a story of resilience and inspiration to the hundreds of people relying on Shanti Sewa to help improve their lives.
Karishma’s tale is an important lesson for all of us where mental health issues are concerned. They have peculiar ways of showing up and, owing to our years of social conditioning, can sometimes be dismissed or undermined, further plunging people into hopelessness and abandonment. For those of you tuning in, please visit a trained, licensed, and certified mental health professional if you experience any symptoms. Mental health is certainly not a taboo and must be treated with as much care and compassion as any physical ailment.
