New Delhi, May 4 : It was during the first lockdown last year that Delhi-based Rasika Bhardwaj (name changed) got in touch with the Psychiatry department at AIIMS through their tele-medicine services. She just could not stay still. The fear that everything was falling apart consumed her. Leave alone concentrating on work, even bathing seemed like an impossible chore. Maybe the lockdown was a precipitating factor, but it definitely forced me to come to the conclusion that I needed expert help. The doctor helped me immensely. But seeing the situation around during this second wave makes me fearful. The anxiety is back. So, I am in constant touch with him again, says this freelance graphic designer.
