According to a Hindustan Times report, Lucknow’s Gauri Todaria is a student of the Rani Laxmibai Memorial Senior Secondary School. After the result, Todaria while speaking about her disorder said that the mind is not under your control and the patient suffers from a lack of decision-making ability and is not able to analyse the situation.
She used to become nervous in difficult situations and started crying loudly. Todaria also underwent a psychiatric treatment. Before overcoming her problem, she also suffered from acute depression just like her father – Kamal Kishore.
