snoop1130 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 A woman claiming to be suffering from depression was caught on camera assaulting another woman and her eight-month-old baby in a prominent Thai shopping mall. The incident, which occurred on January 7, was reported on a social media page, sparking public outrage. Around 10.30am today, January 10, the victim, referred to as Wipaporn (surname withheld), detailed the incident. She had taken her child to a local shopping centre when she found herself in the path of a woman who seemed intent on walking into her. Despite Wipaporn’s attempts to avoid a collision, the woman subsequently returned to physically assault both her and her baby. Wipaporn stated she had never encountered or had issues with the perpetrator before this shocking incident. Following the attack, the woman, who appeared to be in her thirties, did not explain but challenged Wipaporn to report the incident to the police, citing her medical certificate for depression as protection. Unfazed, Wipaporn reported the incident and the woman was later apprehended by police and taken to Sri Thanya Hospital for evaluation, reported KhaoSod. Family members of the assailant confirmed that she had been suffering from depression for approximately seven years and had regularly been taking medication. However, they had allowed her to live outside the hospital after doctors had deemed she could integrate into society. In light of the incident, the family pledged to take responsibility for the damages incurred.

The woman was taken to Sri Thanya (mental) hospital. So at least not far or in Bangkok. And some mister important said: Quote He also called on the shopping mall to take responsibility for the incident, as it had occurred on their premises. Entry check for mental disturbance aside from age check, weapon check, criminal record check.... Edited January 10 by KhunBENQ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfunster Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Depression can give people irritability issues but this feels rather like it is another mental health condition. Perhaps something lost in translation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordgrinz Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 The perpetrator should be careful, I don't think Thai's appreciate that some people can go from 0-100 on the violence scale in the blink of an eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swm59nj Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 There are many people in society that have mental health issues. Some just go to counseling. Some have to take medication. And unfortunately some severe cases have to be institutionalized. Problems arise when the person stops taking their medication. One study on depression shows: While you may not realize it, this persistent anger could actually be a sign of depression. Some people living with depression notice increased feelings of anger and irritability, directed both toward themselves and others. So it is quite possible she is actually suffering from depression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
