Love Betrayal Triggers Suicide of 21-Year-Old Woman in Indore; Accused Arrested
In a heartbreaking incident, a 52-year-old man named Manoj, hailing from Lodhipura, took his life in the Chhatripura police station area on Monday. Manoj's suicide was allegedly due to distress caused by deteriorating eyesight.
For the past two years, Manoj had been struggling with vision loss in both eyes. His left eye was damaged during his teenage years while playing with glass marbles. Despite his efforts to cope, Manoj's mental health began to deteriorate as his vision worsened.
Common reasons leading to suicides due to vision loss in adults primarily involve mental health challenges such as depression, hopelessness, and feelings of despair associated with the loss of independence and quality of life. Vision loss can severely impact an adult's ability to perform daily activities, contribute to social isolation, and increase a sense of burden or helplessness, all of which elevate suicide risk.
Manoj's family stated that he had been depressed due to his worsening eyesight. They rushed him to the hospital in a critical condition, where he died during treatment. The exact location of the incident was not provided in the article.
In a separate incident, a 21-year-old woman named Harshita Shinde from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, committed suicide on November 8. Her suicide was due to being betrayed in love by a man named Shubham Shinde from Khargone district. The police have registered a case against Shubham under section 108 of the BNS and are investigating further.
While specific studies directly analyzing suicide risk exclusively due to vision loss are limited, the link between sensory impairment, especially in late life, and suicide risk is well recognized in psychological and geriatric research. Early psychosocial support and clinical interventions are critical to reducing suicide risk in this population.
Elsewhere, the Income Tax Department has stated that an ITR must be verified within 30 days from the date of filing to complete the return filing process. The Reserve Bank of India has kept the Repo Rate steady at 5.5% and maintained a neutral policy stance.
In another health-related news, KEM Hospital in Mumbai is currently lacking Haemophilia medications, forcing patients to resort to costly private alternatives. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of a MAGA heir, mentioning Vice President JD Vance as a potential candidate but stating it's too early to decide.
- Manoj's mental health struggles, a casualty of his deteriorating eyesight, highlight the connection between physical health issues and mental health, a relationship that deserves more attention in health-and-wellness discussions.
- Harshita Shinde's suicide serves as a grim reminder that love-and-dating relationships can have profound impacts on mental health, with the trauma of betrayal potentially leading to tragic outcomes.
- The link between sensory impairment and suicide risk in late life, as seen in vision loss cases, underscores the importance of lifestyle factors in maintaining mental health, a crucial aspect often overlooked in health and wellness discourse.
