Sushant Singh Rajput's psychiatrist claims actor stopped taking anti depressants from June

Kersi Chavda, who was treating Sushant Singh Rajput for depression, told the investigating officers of Mumbai Police that Sushant had stopped taking his medicines in June 2020 following which his condition deteriorated.

He also added that the Mumbai Police has this as part of his recorded statement. Earlier, statements of five psychiatrists were recorded by Mumbai Police. These include Kersi Chavda, Perveen Dadachanji, Harish Shetty, Nikita Shah and Susan Walker, and each of them had confirmed that Sushant Singh Rajput suffered from severe depression. Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide on June 14.

"Sushant stopped taking medicines and had a panic attack in the first week of June 2020. [He had] severe anxiety, depression and existential crisis. [This is] part of the police records with the Mumbai Police," Chavda said, as per sources.

Chavda's statement once again brings the focus back to the fact that Sushant Singh Rajput did in fact suffer from severe depression. The Mumbai Police's preliminary investigation suggested that depression possibly drove him to kill himself, even as Sushant's family and several others are reluctant to accept the same. Sushant died on June 14, the second week of June, while Rhea Chakraborty, his live-in girlfriend left his Bandra, Mumbai home on June 8.
