The words of Kabir Bedi
Losing a child to a suicide you cannot understand how terrible it is. In the last months of my life, I tried to be close to him, but I couldn’t convince my son. He felt he no longer had any meaning, for him life no longer meant anything. He no longer tasted the food and in a moment of lucidity he had also told me that he wanted to take his own life.
I tried to prevent this suicide, but I failed. I was unable to persuade him to continue living.
Then Bedi wanted to speak to all families who are forced to face one similar situation.
I often hear from people caring for family members with schizophrenia. They suffer more because they see the people they love to change in a very tragic way.
They want to try to fix the situation, but it’s very difficult. 25-year-olds, highly intelligent men, suddenly lose their lucidity. And when they lose this clarity they don’t accept that they have a problem.
Finally, despite a tragically reopened heart wound, the actor also wanted to send a positive message.
At that time there were no medicines that are there today, now there is hope.
