BENGALURU : It’s been three months since Bheemappa N, a lecturer at a private college, lost his father to Covid, but he is still unable to cope with the loss. Every night, he relives those days in his sleep, and mutters, “Switch off the ventilator machine, I am unable to sleep. Doctor said only if oxygen level drops, should he be given oxygen. Please help, doctor… he is falling ill.”
Bheemappa is not alone in dealing with such traumatic situations. Doctors at Nimhans and psychiatrists across the city confirm that cases of post-traumatic stress disorder are quite common, but they are seeing a significant rise in the number of such cases during the second wave, compared to last year.
