My 9 year old daughter has schizophrenia. His medicine has been running for 3 years. He is a teacher in the school and we take good care of his medicine. His illness is under control. Should she get married? Some people in the family say that getting married cures mental illness? How long is this true?

* Schizophrenia is a serious illness. You should be happy that even with the medicine, your daughter's mental health is in such a favorable condition that she is fulfilling her responsibility as a teacher and is on her feet. There is nothing more gratifying for all the family members to be mentally balanced in this way. Always be aware of the possibility that the disease may worsen suddenly at any time with a little too much delay or even a little stress. In this situation the daughter needs to be handled with love, understanding, discretion.

People with a mental illness may not realize that the patient's mental, emotional turmoil is causing them mental anguish. Over which the patient has no control. It makes things worse. People think that a patient deliberately misbehaves, when in fact this behavior is due to a mental imbalance. Even if the family understands this fact, it is unlikely that any new family will understand this.

It is a mistake to think that marriage can cure a serious illness like schizophrenia. In fact, there is a strong possibility that the disease will get worse after marriage. Has its own inherent cause. The bride has to look her best during this time, because of posterity more than anything else.

Not only that, in most cases the in-laws do not accept the truth when they find out about the illness, but most of the family has the view that they have been cheated. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. If you conceal your daughter's illness from your in-laws before marriage, legal action will be taken against the daughter. This situation will not be pleasant for anyone.

It is good that you give up your daughter's marriage intentions and try your best to keep her happy and healthy. No matter how many ups and downs there are in your daughter's dealings, you should give her full support. Even a little carelessness towards treatment can increase the disease.

I have been suffering from unbearable pain in my right heel and bottom for 1 month. This pain happens while walking. I have never had a foot injury, but I put my foot down to walk. The pain begins to subside. Tell me what to do?

* Your symptom is plantar fasciitis. The disorder is caused by swelling of the thick tissue in the sole of the foot that extends from the heel to the toe. Wearing shoes that do not fit well with the soles of the feet, working while standing for long periods of time, being overweight and increasing the risk of developing plantar fasciitis.

Exercising to strengthen the natural arch of the feet, cold shake 2-3 times a day for 15-20 minutes, wearing proper shoes and losing weight can alleviate this problem. If the disease does not go away, it is advisable to see an orthopedic surgeon. In some cases, getting a steroid vaccine on AD also gives relief, but only with an experienced surgeon, otherwise there is a risk of complications.
