I never said you said so, lumos_31. I'm a psychiatrist myself. Nice to know you're a fellow doc.

The S1 Maya had distinct traits which normally overlap with quite a few disorders. There have been times I've debated w myself if she's got narcissistic personality disorder or borderline personality disorder or OCPD. But since most of h er traits along with those which fell in the NPD and BPD zones, overlapped in the spectrum of OCPD, i stuck to the theory that she suffered from OCPD. But, we're on the same page that she's very cold-blooded when it comes to the crimes committed by her.

It's not my job to decide what's wrong and what's right. I'm not here to do so either. I just happen to look at the cause and the course of action which lead to a reaction. I merely state that. Because for the past 8+ years, in the medicinal field, I've been taught to that. I used to look at maya as a patient. but it's been a long while I've stopped. It's indifference that I feel.

I am not even sure if CVs earlier wanted to show Maya as someone who was suffering from mental health issues and then later changed their minds or was it supposed to be this way 😕

Why the hell they didn't clarify if she was suffering from something or not...if yes then what exactly

In the initial epis it was hinted that she had insomnia and depression

She tried to cut her wrists

but later we found out that Maya tried fake suicide attempts to emotionally blackmail Arjun so that he couldn't leave her

So, was her wrist cutting also an attempt to stop Jhanvi from not leaving her and to never go and meet Ashwin from next time 😕

The doctor of the asylum did mention that he had prescribed her anti depressants and that apart from depression she was not suffering from anything else and in fact he had never come across an intelligent woman like Maya.

I personally would want makers to clarify this once and for all.

It wasn't shown that she was taking pills specifically for depression.

Lumos,

I've never ruled out the possibility of BPD, it's just that we must know her a lot more than what's been told to us to pinpoint a certain diagnosis. Her character got inconsistent. The CVS took elements from many, many sources and messed up. They should've been consistent.

OCPD is a severe personality disorder. It's different from ocd. I'd like you to read about if you can. Now though, it's kichdi.

Anshvi, now that it's behuda. I don't want them to disclose anything about her illness. Let her be just pagal. They'll ruin the essence of the traits and it'll be an injustice to the whole show. I'm not being able to put it correctly but I hope you get what I'm saying.

Yes, it was. Wrist cutting is parasuicide. U cannot die from cutting ur wrists. Am sure Maya knew this and used it as means of blackmailing her mother to stay with her and never go to Ashwin. She did that even to Arjun whenever he was about to leave her. All these point to borderline personality disorder, but the events that followed it just make her a cold blooded criminal and a murderer.

Yup, will surely read about it. Am not really interested in psychiatry, I hardly read much about in Ug, so pardon my limited knowledge about it. Her character did get inconsistent and makers did make a mockery of mental illness in this show.

She didn't do it in front of jhanvi though. That one factor had perplexed me. She deep down had known that it won't matter to jhanvi. As when given a choice between Maya and literally anyone else, jhanvi would chose the latter, due to her own instability.

And yes, one can't die from cutting wrists. Its gonna take ages to bleed out sufficient enough to die. But popular culture has made it seem the most easy and fast way to die.
