Social Worker Reunites Mentally Ill Woman with Family

Social Worker Reunites Mentally Ill Woman with Family

A young woman named Kalpana was found by the police in Nagpur and admitted to a mental hospital.

She was very sick and didn't talk much at first.

After some time, she started to speak and told the hospital staff her real name and some details about her village.

A social worker named Kunda Bidkar Katekhaye tried to find her family but the police said no one was missing.

She kept trying and finally found the woman's brother, who had been looking for her for four months.

The brother came to the hospital and took his sister home.

The family had taken her to a temple because they thought she was possessed, but her condition got worse and she went missing.

The social worker and the hospital staff helped the family understand that mental illness can be treated with medicine and counseling.
