It is the story of a man from Bengaluru, a city known for innovation and resilience. Once the shining star in the tech world and having worked for Mindtree in Frankfurt, he is now struggling for survival on the streets of Jayanagar. Recently, I came across this story, which shook me to the core.
He spoke of being catapulted from success to despair while wearing just a simple red T-shirt. His conversation, sprinkled throughout with quotes from philosophy, science, meditation, and even Albert Einstein, exemplified a sharp intellect untouched by the circumstances of his life. Still, the weight of loss
—his parents, his girlfriend, and ultimately his sense of self—could only push him further into alcohol dependency.
This story is not just his; it is a silent battle that many face every day. It is a reminder that addiction and mental health conditions can hit at any given time, to anyone, regardless of his status or intelligence.
Addiction and Mental Health: The Many Cases and Struggles
Addiction often begins as an attempt to cope with pain , grief, loneliness, or emotional turmoil. It quickly becomes a vicious cycle of shame, guilt, and isolation, less a choice than a trap.
Mental illness never discriminates. It affects the most humble of people as it does the high flyers. Just as the professional with the means to afford the treatment, the destitute need the same cure, but society reacts by branding rather than sympathy. That stigma may cause isolation, making help come less easily.
