Bandaged Moments : Stories of Mental Health by Women Writers from Indian Languages – Edited by Nabanita Sengupta & Nishi Pulugurtha

Description

Bandaged Moments brings together 26 compelling stories from 17 Indian
languages, humanising psychological conditions through storytelling,
with each narrative illustrating the multifaceted nature of mental
health issues, the challenges of seeking psychiatric help in India,
along with the redemptive power of a support system (or the consequences
when there isn’t one), and the lived experiences of individuals grappling
with mental health issues in varied cultural settings.

Apart from compiling a diverse range of women writers, this
anthology sheds light on the insidious intricacies of trauma and suffering,
and the challenges and triumphs faced by patients and their caregivers
within the social fabric of India.
