Female Patient

Diagnosis: Bronchial Asthma

The patient had been suffering from Asthma since 1989. She was on Bronchodilators. In spite of all the treatment the attack was not under control since 3 months.

As a child she was afraid of Darkness, Cockroaches, Mouse and Lizard. She disliked animals.

She came from a very orthodox family so as she grew up her singing and dancing was not appreciated in the family so she said that she wasn't able to establish herself as a singer or a dancer so she feels bad about it sometimes.

She said if somebody opposes her to do something she will do that thing at any cost.

They got married against their parents wish and after marriage there were lot of tensions. There were financial problems as husband was not earning a good salary and in laws were demanding dowry from her. They had said lot of bad things to her but husband has told her not to back answer his parents.

After this her father has made a will in which he had written that his daughters shouldn't receive anything from his property. She felt very bad that because of her getting married to somebody from a different caste her sisters had to suffer. Since then she had not got involved in any property matters.
