How An Image Helped Mentally Ill Man Reunite With His Family

The term “panneur” can only refer to a 30-year-old person who is taken to the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) with a mental illness. Doctors decided to search the Internet, but they did not know which country he was from. But it was a picture of a tea garden that became a clue to finding the man and reuniting with his family.

The man, along with hospital staff, has now boarded a 49-hour train in Assam, about 2,700 kilometers from Chennai.

“It was in the second week of April when the police took him to the IMH when they saw him wandering in the harbor. He became dehydrated and lost. After receiving first aid, we were taken to Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, where they were treated in intensive care. "His retirement was symptomatic," said IMH Assistant S. Division:

While at the IMH, the man mingled with his name and was able to pronounce a word like “Pinner”. “He had signs of delirium and memory. He understood a little Hindi. We weren’t sure about his pronunciation. We tried to find the name. Tomorrow and in Assam we found places in different states with different spellings: "Then he shook his head. We usually ask patients about places like train station, school and food. So he realized that it is Paneri in Assam," he added.

He informed the doctors of the Kamrup River police. "We tried to go to the Cameroon Police Department to investigate the allegations of the missing people, but the phone numbers found on the net were incorrect. We found the phone number of a Kamrup district officer who spoke Tamil and told us that Paneri was in the Udalgur district." he said.

The IMH group, which is affiliated with the Social Security District, climbed a rope. “We gave her name and photo to the Social Security team, and this was denied to her family through the organ staff,” he said.

We learned from her mother-in-law that the woman had a mental illness and that her son was ill. Her sister told authorities she was traveling to Bangalore looking for work with her friends. "He can't remember when or where he last saw his friends." They can't go to Chennai to take him home.

IMH Director P. Porna Chandrika said they bought the train tickets with the hospital service fund. "It simply came to our notice then. Through the coordination of many organizations, we were able to return his family within a few days. That's our dream for every patient. "
