Slamming Sushant Singh Rajput's alleged psychorapist Susan Walker Moffat on her statement claiming that late actor 'suffered from Bipolar Disorder', his bror-in-law has said that disclosures are t only 'unethical but also illegal'.

Sushant's bror-in-law Vishal Kirti's remarks come against backdrop of Moffat's statement to a news publication that Sushant suffered from Bipolar Disorder and actor Rhea Chakraborty 'gave him cour to seek help'. Moffat, who claims to be Sushant's psychorapist, (though t his only doctor, as ar has also been spoken to by Bihar Police) said that she is 'dismayed' by irresponsible cover of issue and felt it a 'duty' to open up.

However, in response to her statement, Kirti said that while re should t be a special stigma around mental health issues, it is also imperative to t disclosing mental health information as it is protected by law of land. Terming it illegal, he ded that it is up to his far-in-law (Suhant's far KK Singh) to press charges on matter. It is alleged that beyond a point, all matters related to appointment of personnel were dealt with by Rhea.

Validity of Susan Walker Moffat’s claims?

Kirti also questioned validity of Susan Walker Moffat’s claims, and mentioned that he h been in touch with Sushant till 2019, and clearly kws that prior to October-vember 2019 i.e before meeting Rhea, one 'ever complained about his mental health'. Sushant's bror-in-law also said that it takes six years on aver to diagse  symptoms of mental health problems like Bipolar disorder; however, "Susan very conveniently diagses Sushant in less than two months & perhaps over a couple of appointments, with a life-changing diagsis," he ded.

"If we are to believe Susan, ar thing which does become clear is that it was Rhea indeed who was seeking treatment for Sushant and t Sushant himself. Prior to October/vember 2019 (and certainly prior to meeting Rhea), as far as I kw, one who has lived with Sushant has ever complained about his mental health, r has Sushant himself."

On allegations on Rhea, his bror-in-law, Vishal Kirti suggested that it would be better to have discussion on 'Narcissistic Personality Discorder and/or sociopathy/psychopathy' for her as 'Sushant seemed to have suffered gaslighting at hands of Rhea'. He clarified that he is t diagsing any of se things but is suggesting so 'based on information in public domain.'

He also ded, "It will indeed be a shocking surprise to entire nation if it is found in court of law that she was a loving partner and t an opportunist who eliminated most of Sushant’s ties with his family and friends."
