children. She is divorced from her husband of 5 years; the divorcewas very much opposed by her
parents and family. She has complaints of insomnia, not eatingproperly, frequent unexplained crying
spells, depression and lack of concentration. She has sought helpfrom some Maulvi sahib, co-workers
and her mother. Other important information includes the fact thatshe took care of her brothers and
sisters growing up because of her parent’s busy schedules. She alsodescribes a dream that she has
had on several occasions:
“I am always running and there are shadowy figures behind me. I amin a large warehouse.
There are boxes marked with arrows reading “Exitâ€. The arrows areall going in different
directions, therefore I never find my way out and the figures keepgetting closer. I wake up in a
cold sweat, breathing rapidly, heart pounding and a scream stuck inmy throatâ€.
