Mita released from hospital
Nurunnahar Mita, one of the two sisters who had been admitted to Bangladesh Medical College and Hospital for relapse into their mental illness, was released from the hospital yesterday.
Dr Mahmood Hasan, head of psychiatry department of BMCH, stated her to be recovered but said she needs to continue medication on regular basis.
Mita is currently staying with her elder sister Kamrun Nahar Hena and her husband. "She is doing well", said Hena. "She is adjusting and talking a bit more."
Dr Aninun Nahar Rita and Nurunnahar Mita were admitted to BMCH on June 18, as they relapsed for the second time. The sisters have been suffering from Schizophrenia.
Rita and Mita starved themselves for about a month before they relapsed and were taken to BMCH. They were under treatment of Dr Mahmood Hasan.
Mita's condition was better as they were admitted to the hospital. Due to starvation Rita fell seriously ill and was admitted to ICU while Mita was suffering from urine infection.
Rita is out of danger and she has been removed from ICU, Dr Mahmood said, but added that she is still too weak to be released from the hospital.
Rita is a medical graduate and Mita studied Engineering in the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet).
