Amrit Kumar Bakhshy’s life changed forever in 1991. “I didn’t know anything about schizophrenia before Richa… but I have totally neglected myself and wholeheartedly devoted my 24 hours to my child and now, to the community,” he says. Now at 83, he is the primary caregiver for his daughter, who lives with Paranoid Schizophrenia.br br For 34 years, Bakshy has fought for better mental health care in India — leading the Schizophrenia Awareness Association, serving at NIMHANS, and advising on national policy. “Where I came for help, I ended up helping,” he reflects.br br “I want to give her small joys. Big joys, I sadly can’t give her,” he says. “If she feels happy eating ice cream or having an outing by going to a restaurant, I will take her.” In those moments, sacrifice turns into love.
