C, aged about 45, was admitted to Chittadhama in April 2024. He was withdrawn, isolated, and was often observed speaking quietly to himself.
With medication, C started showing improvement. As his symptoms began to lift, his quiet demeanour gave way to clarity. Soon, C was able to recall and share his home address.
With the help of Kerala's remarkable, highly coordinated communication network — a WhatsApp group connecting the state's care homes and orphanages — C's family was successfully traced. He is back with the family who had been waiting for him.
