"He was fighting for 10 years with bipolar symptoms, depression and had a history with ElectroConvulsive Therapy as well. His speech was not fluent he had timid body language, damaged self-confidence, low memory and intense cognitive issues. At the beginning of the sessions we did not know if we will be able to make even a little difference in his life.
It was after 2-3 months when he finally told us that he has got some routine and has started taking sketching class which he loved to do that we were able to see that he is set on his path of recovery. He looked very fresh that day. He is now continuing his studies in Arts, living his passion and is managing household responsibilities himself. His next goal is to get financially independent which is yet to be achieved."
"She was a client with severe trust issues and paranoid delusions. It took time to get her adjusted but gradually she opened up and was the one who gave huge motivation to other members. It was after 6 months she looked quite optimistic and energetic towards her life. She also got her makeover done after that. She used to say that this is the platform where we are most comfortable and know that we can share all of our problems. Due to stigmas attached, she used to ignore disturbing events happening around her but now she is able to deal with them in a healthy way. She is not scared anymore!

"The first day we met M, he did not make eye-contact, had poor short-term memory, and had impaired speech. However, he was punctual, regular, and consistent at his sessions with CareForHealth practitioners.
A few months into the program, we saw remarkable change. His humorous and lively personality shone through, and he was able to secure a job as a watchman. Today, he is employed as an accountant for an NGO and works as an electrician as well."

A glimpse into what we have been up to
I have started to find little tricks, ways to get myself out of situations I feel like I can’t face. “Yaar, gaari naheen hai” (I don’t have the car today),”yaar, ijazat naheen milay gee” (I won’t get permission) are my excuses for not going out with my friends. But the truth is I have nothing to say to them anymore. It feels like the light in the little.
When I decided to pursue a career in psychology I knew I would get questioned about the choice I was making. At first, I was not looking forward to answering those questions, but now with my undergraduate degree almost completed and some work experience under my belt I am thankful for the people who voiced their concerns rather than remaining silent.
The tragedy in Peshawar shook a desensitized nation to its core. It made people, not only in Pakistan but around the world, recoil and reconsider the extent of human depravity. But how did those at the epicenter of the attack deal with the aftershocks? Perhaps nobody but them can understand. Countless articles, since then, have been published quoting warnings given.
You choose to write this because the idea of venting out appeals to you. Mostly because you feel like, and would rightfully and circumstantially assume that you’ve got nothing to lose. You don’t really care if people find out who’s the face behind this story, or what they make of this. You’re too tired, too broken, too weak and too numb to worry abo
