Witchcraft Or Simply Mental Illness?
I recently watched a programme on television wherein a young lady was talking about how in her understanding, there is no such a thing as mental illness. According to the lady, mental illness was nothing more than plain witchcraft. “People waste a lot of money on expensive medication trying to cure mental illness, and they can never find cure in western medicine,” she said.
The young lady’s way of thinking may be surprising to many and even offensive to others, but her ideology is nothing new. I do not know how by some magic powers, anyone could have the ability to affect another person’s mind, so I will not dispute her ideas. But I also understand that where there is no clarity, where mystery exists, human beings will attempt to seek answers and a sense of reason. Unfortunately, in our communities, particularly in rural areas, there is very little comprehension of how a mental illness might occur.
One cannot claim to know for certain whether witchcraft or curses exist, or whether there is merit in the association of these mysterious phenomena with disorders such as Schizophrenia, Psychosis, Bipolar, and other varieties of mental illness. The fact of the matter is that, if consulted, most traditional doctors would likely point to witchcraft as the cause of mental illness and some might even share the name of the culprit or witch. Whether or not the accusation would be accurate, relationships would still be destroyed because it is usually the closest relatives or neighbours that would be pointed out as perpetrators.
In my novel, Madness in Duggart, the protagonist’s mother refuses to lend an ear to anyone who suggests that her son may have been bewitched. Even in her pain and confusion, she understands the suffering that would inevitably be inflicted upon those that might be (wrongfully) accused. They could be alienated at best, or have their homes set on fire by angry mobs, at worst. The repercussions of the finger-pointing and speculations were bound to be too devastating.
But what exactly is witchcraft? The Oxford dictionary describes witchcraft as ‘the use of magic, especially black magic; the use of spells.’ As far as its alleged links with mental disorders goes, witchcraft is seen as the casting out of spells onto a target, in order for them to lose a sense of reality and normality. This could be done out of jealousy, mainly. As I heard one Psychiatrist explaining this: you may find that an intelligent child suddenly performs badly in their exams because it so happened that when the question paper was presented to them, they started seeing nothing but darkness as their mind switched off in an apparent blackout. Some would call that witchcraft. The witches would not want to see this child, with a seemingly bright future, realise his or her highest potential. The psychiatrist might diagnose such an occurrence as symptoms of a panic or anxiety attack’. The downside of the witchcraft accusation is that treatment is seldom sought timeously, if at all, and it devastates both the affected family and the accused one. The way I see it, the missing link and the root cause of the accusations is poor awareness and lack of education. People just do not know better. And whether those that believe in the power of spells and the Psychiatrists would ever agree is not so much the point. What is crucial is that people need to be made aware and taught that it is not too much of a mystical phenomenon when someone loses their mind; that there are logical medical explanations, regardless of how limited they may be in uncovering the true causes of mental illnesses.
Madness in Duggart is available on Amazon.

A 17 item Hindi questionnaire was designed specifically to study individual's beliefs in various types of magico-religious beliefs, the role of magico-religious beliefs in causation of mental illness/behavioural abnormalities and the role of treatment based on such beliefs. Additionally, the questionnaire also had the provision to assess the role of stress (which is understood more as tension in our community) and changes in neuro-chemicals in causation of schizophrenia. The questions were developed in the line of Supernatural Attitude Questionnaire, an instrument which was developed about a decade ago by one of the authors (PK). Various items of the questionnaire were based on commonly prevalent magico-religious beliefs in our society. One item in the questionnaire covered the role of stress in development of mental illness and another item evaluated the understanding of patients with respect to the role of change in neuro-chemicals in the brain as the aetiology of mental illness. Regarding treatment, the questionnaire covered areas like seeking treatment from faith healers and performing religious rituals. The last question asked about the prevalence of magico-religious beliefs in the locality to which the patient belongs. The language of the questionnaire was simple and the responders were instructed to answer the questions in “yes” or “no”.

Reviews for "Captivating Tunes: Enhancing the Potty Training Experience with Magical Sounds"
1. Karen - 1 out of 5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with the Magical Sounds Potty System. The concept seemed great, with the promise of encouraging kids to use the potty through fun sounds and rewards. However, in reality, it was a complete letdown. The sounds were annoying and repetitive, and the rewards were cheap and flimsy. My toddler quickly lost interest in it and reverted back to not using the potty at all. I would not recommend this potty system to anyone.
2. Jeff - 2 out of 5 stars - I had high hopes for the Magical Sounds Potty System, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The sounds were too loud and startled my child every time, which resulted in him being afraid of using the potty altogether. The rewards were also not motivating enough, and he quickly lost interest in trying to earn them. It's a shame because the idea behind the system was great, but the execution fell short. I would suggest looking for other potty training options.
3. Sarah - 1 out of 5 stars - I regret purchasing the Magical Sounds Potty System for my child. The sounds were obnoxious and annoying, and not at all magical as the name suggests. The rewards were flimsy and easily broken, and my child lost interest in them after a few uses. The potty itself was not comfortable and caused discomfort for my little one. I would not recommend this potty system to anyone looking to potty train their child. Save your money and look for better alternatives.
4. Alex - 2 out of 5 stars - The Magical Sounds Potty System didn't work for my child at all. The sounds were way too loud and scared my toddler, causing her to cry every time she had to use the potty. The rewards were also not motivating enough, and she didn't seem interested in them. Additionally, the design of the potty was not comfortable for her and she found it difficult to sit on it for an extended period. Overall, this potty system did not meet our expectations and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
