There is a difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist. A huge difference. Out of psychiatric clinics, healthy people don't go out. Never.

Do you know what restraint jacket is? How does the treatment by electrocution lead to? What happens in general with people in such clinics?
If you judge all equally. And not so, that here Arjun's mistakes can be forgiven and let him go free with a clear conscience. And Maya's mistakes can't be forgiven. They need only be treated in a psychiatric clinic. Or in prison. Or only in the another world, she can receive redemption
I have served as an intern in a psychiatry department and sought medical help from a psychologist which means I'm in a better position to understand these terms. Your comment is very ignorant and I really suggest you look up into psychiatry vs psychology.
The main difference between them is simply that one is a hard science and the other is a soft science. Which means that if you go to a psychiatrist for let's say hallucinations, depression, any of the mental problems, a psychiatrist will most seek to treat it medically with medicines and other scientific methods.
Wheras a psychologist will seek to help you through therapy sessions. They both interwine and exchange a lot.
Your comment on what a psychiatrist's domain or a mental hospital is very archaic and based on pop culture references. It reeks of what you've seen on tv shows and movies. Maya will not be electrocuted if she choses to go to a psychiatrist. Man you need to read up on the subject.😆
Maya obviously suffers from a mental disorder. Why is it so wrong or blasphemous to accept that people can suffer from mental disorders? It is because of comments and views like you that suggest that asylums and even psychiatry or mental problems are some sort of extreme thing or something. Do you see the social stigma surrounding such things? That people are so afraid of seeking help because they think people around them will talk and make fun of them?
A mental ward is mainly for patients who choose to stay in or need extensive monitoring. They're are also all kinds of centres where more privileged people chose to stay for just a few weeks or otherwise to 'detox' in a mental kind of lingo.
Arjun obviously has issues but he definitely doesn't suffer from the kind of problems Maya does so I don't see why he should get the same treatment as her?
