                                                      AFRAID TO BE HAPPY

"Electric Shock?! asked Neha terrified,"dear God please don't make me go through this."
She was in agony already and she couldn't take any more.
Dr. VSR Raman looked worried. He was a renowned psychiatrist.
"General anesthesia," he replied.  
Neha felt relieved. She sank back into her chair and breathed freely. She wasn't very tall, only 5 feet. The lines of fatigue and hopelessness were deep on her face. Ordinarily pleasant looking, now she was unrecognizable.
Neha suffered from Manic Depression, ordinarily known as a Bipolar Disorder. Manic Depression can be caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain. If there is an excess, the patient becomes Manic i.e. excessively ecstatic. If there is a deficiency he sinks into a meaningless but acute depression.
Neha was on the verge of suicide. She hated herself.
