Holy crap. So I just watched the latest two episodes and as many of you have mentioned, there are sooooo many loopholes in Mahima's story. But I'm gonna focus on one thing only — the writers’ absolute neglect of any form of medical or scientific accuracy. Because, as a neuroscience student, I feel like banging my head on a wall. Repeatedly.
What kind of nonsense is this? What joke have these people made of mental illness? Let alone consult a medical professional, they didn't even do any form of research on these elaborate medical conditions they're attempting to show. Not even a Wikipedia search.
Which psychiatrist tells a depressed patient to "change their surroundings" (from Delhi to Chennai) to feel better? This is advice you find on internet blogs by self-declared medicinal gurus. A real psychiatrist either prescribes anti-depressants or schedules you for therapy or even both. Change and travel probably won't help on its own if the patient isn't treated for the root illness.
Also, what is this obsession in ITV with miracles bringing dead people back to life? Can't the writers just invest a few minutes of research to explain these kinds of things? Like "locked-in syndrome" where a person cannot move, speak, talk, react, or even blink, but is awake and aware. Or "persistent vegetative state" where a person is being kept alive with the help of machines until the family decides to let them pass away. There's even "Lazarus syndrome" where blood circulation spontaneously restarts after cardiac death, although it is extremely rare.
Which era do the writers and CVs live in? Do they think we live in the 1950s where psychotic patients are chained up and drugged in mental asylums? And what terms are they using to justify Mahima's condition? Depression??? What she suffered for seven years isn't depression. Sure, she might have suffered from depression initially, but later, Mahima's disconnect from reality where she tries to harm others, harm herself, and then kill herself is called psychosis.
And please explain to me in which world is a dead woman carried to the morgue and just left there? After Mahima "died," was nobody going to perform her last rites? Did Preesha seriously just leave her dead sister there and left with Saaransh??
Moreover, for six years, Mahima descended into psychosis. But one fine day, she saw Preesha and Saaransh in the paper and decided that she wanted to get better on her own? She instructed her doctor that she doesn't want to live on medications and injections?? And the doctor obliged???? Who is the patient and who is the doctor in this scenario? So what kind of message is this supposed to give about people with mental health illnesses? That if they want to get better, if they have a reason to get better, they can get better on their own?? NO MAN, that's not how it works!!! If you have a broken arm, but you WANT to heal it, that doesn't mean it will just get better without treatment! If you have a mental illness, it doesn't just go away because you find "motivation"! It goes away when you get proper medical attention.
AND FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, IS PREESHA EVEN A DOCTOR? How did she not ask any questions about Mahima's preposterous story?
Now coming to the flashback in today’s episode where the forensic expert tells Rudra that Preesha isn’t Saaransh’s mother. He said that their DNA didn’t match. Sure. Maybe they didn’t have enough of a match to prove that she was his mother. Parents share about 50% of DNA with their child. The report showed that this wasn’t the case with Preesha and Saaransh. But didn’t any of their DNA match at all considering that she is his maternal aunt (maasi)? Somewhere from 20-25% of DNA should have matched, at least.
And what explanation was that guy giving about “chromosome XX?” Apparently Saaransh didn’t have a chromosome XX like Preesha did, so he wasn’t her son. OF COURSE HE DIDN’T HAVE TWO X CHROMOSOMES YOU NITWIT, HE’S A BOY! Girls have two X chromosomes and boys have one X and one Y chromosome!! How is this any explanation for whether Preesha and Saaransh are biologically related or not?? Come on people, this is middle school science!!
