Khargon district in which is located the village of Badi, are included in the list of the poorest regions of India.
Misfortune struck the small village of Badi in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh: from the beginning of the year there were registered 80 cases of suicide.
Moreover, over the past two decades in Badi registered 350 cases of voluntary withdrawal from life, and this despite the fact that currently the population of the village is only about 2.5 thousand people.
The head of the village blames what is happening in the evil spirits. However, there is reason to believe that the mood of local residents could be adversely affected by the pesticides they used during the treatment of the land. This version in an interview with the publication Times of India voiced psychiatrist Srikanth Reddy.
According to him, the result of the impact of chemicals on the human body can develop depression and even schizophrenia. In an attempt to prevent the epidemic of deaths in the village banned the drinking of alcoholic beverages, but this led only to the fact that the residents have to go alcohol in the neighboring settlements.
