She has PTSD from losing her baby, depression and anxiety from the abuse.

Yeah I was really hoping wat Chakor had said stuck with her but I guess it didn't. But she will be leaning Kunal soon so hopefully she realizes that she's done Mauli wrong.

Anxiety or any mental illness does not show up the same in everyone.

For some anxiety means you are always on edge, theres physiological responses that you can't control, aka crying or stomach aches, throwing up, or heart palpitations. You live in a constant fear.

I am only saying this because I want to give example but I'm highly anxious about driving and I recently started driving on the highway and one time I literally forgot where the break was and I got so scared. And I got nightmares for a week about getting into a car accident.

I don't know if other people who have anxiety show similar behaviors or actions.

Same with depression. Some people have high functioning depression some have low functioning. It literally depends on each person.

I think the problem with Nandani is that there are signs of severe anxiety but there's never any signs of coping with it. It's annoying.

thanks to folks for sharing their personal stories about anxiety; it was definitely enlightening to read how it can affect and impair your daily life in unexpected ways.

@rajh -- don't think people are saying nandini is mentally ill but rather they are using clinical terms to describe some of her reactions.

so have relatives in this field and so they always make a clear distinction between mentally ill (the kind that requires hospitalization and medicines) and any sort of behavioural issues which would need therapy.

basically, you could have a very normal life but because of certain painful incidents in your past, it could affect your behaviour and thinking in certain ways. usually, those need counseling to basically let go of the past.

so what they are describing and discussing here are commonly related behavioural issues that come up with domestic abuse kind of situations. anxiety and inability to process is a common response to any trauma. some have personal experience with anxiety while others are studying in this field and hence their perspective on nandini's behaviour.

yes this!! and also, just because something is not blatantly stated does not mean that you can't make an educated guess about certain circumstances. Being raped and having a miscarriage is bound to leave you with psychological illnesses even if the show doesn't do a good job exploring that aspect.

Even I didn't watch BV completely but began watching that show since Shiv's entry & stopped watching it after he died after approximately 500 episodes or so. (don't remember exactly)

And in that span I watched all shades & flawed human traits I could have seen & writer did complete justice to every shade she presented there. Each of her flawed character could be analyzed to give out a balanced POV. All my memories of BV are from that time only.

I was shocked when I found Kottary was writing this show, since this writing stand no where in front of the narration she presented there.

@ Bold: Actually these terms are not being used to defend anything. We're discussing what should have been shown. These terms are not just terms, they are actual conditions. These conditions are what Nandini should have had. These conditions define the type of character that the writers should have written for Nandini, but didn't.

Yes in the show she is not shown as having any of these conditions and that is where the writers screwed up. But they didn't just screw up with her. They screwed up with all the characters. We just started the conversation on Nandini and it kept going down that path.

If it makes you feel better we could talk about how they butchered Mauli or Kunal's character?
