The hype and mystery related to Sushant Singh Rajput's death looks like has taken a new turn as the late actor's therapist Susan Walker confirmed to Barkha Dutt that Sushant was suffering from bipolar disorder. According to the post shared by journalist Barkha Dutt, Sushant Singh Rajput’s therapist Susan Walker says that due to the conspiracy theories and misinformation on social media as well as the main stream media, about the late actor, she felt it was her duty to make a statement.
Susan Walker goes on to say that the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput was indeed suffering from bipolar disorder which also led to him experiencing depression and hypomania. Dr. Walker said Rhea was his biggest support and cared for him. “Sushant was suffering terribly during his bouts of depression and hypomania. Rhea was his strongest support. From the first time I met them as a couple, I was impressed by the degree of concern, love and support she showed. It was very evident how close they were. Rhea took care of his appointments and gave him enough courage to attend, despite his being so fearful that someone would find out.”
“When he was severely ill, he depended on her as somewhat of a mother figure and she completely filled that role with love, encouragement and patience. It was an incredibly hard time for her as seeing someone suffer through the cruelty of mental illnesses of family members. They need to keep it a secret and bear things in silence, an added trauma. The treatment that Rhea has received on social media is deeply shocking to me as I have only ever experienced her as deeply caring and sensitive person. She goes on to add that the symptoms of bipolar disorder can be severe anxiety, major depression and sometimes disordered thinking. Rajput, 34, was found hanging in his suburban Bandra apartment in Mumbai on June 14. His father filed an FIR against Rhea earlier this week, accusing her of abetment to suicide.
