Aparna Piramal Raje Launches Her Book 'Chemical Khichdi: How I Hacked My Mental Health'
Mental health conditions have multiplied after the pandemic, but solutions to these challenges remain hard to find. Author and columnist Aparna Piramal Raje's new book Chemical Khichdi: How I Hacked My Mental Health is a bold attempt to normalise conversations on these topics and was released in Mumbai on 6th May 2022. The event was illuminated and graced by the presence of several industry stalwarts.
Part-memoir, part-reportage and part self-help guide, Chemical Khichdi is a hopeful and helpful guide for anyone looking to enhance their mental wellness. The book is divided into two sections: the first section is a memoir, which gives a raw and authentic look into the lived experiences of the author herself and how she learnt to live and thrive with bipolar disorder over two decades. In the second section, she outlines seven essential therapies that can help individuals with a mental health condition, their family, friends, colleagues, medical professionals and others who love and care for them.
Aparna in the book launch spoke about how the seven therapies are intended "for anyone wanting to improve their mental well-being. Bipolarity may affect only 1% of the population, but mental wellness is important to 100% of us. I believe three therapies - medical therapies, love therapy and lifestyle - are essential to learning how to survive any mental health challenge. Without these three, it was hard for me to get a handle on my condition. The remaining four therapies - the role of allies and the therapy of empathy, work therapy, self-therapy and spiritual therapy - have taken me from surviving to thriving." Aparna is also a former contributor to the UK's Financial Times and a public speaker, with growing interests in education and philanthropy.
