The Hindustan Times reports that the suicide of a 21-year-old queer woman from Kerala, who claimed that she had been taken to multiple de-addiction centers over three months against her will, in an effort to cure her of her non-heterosexual orientation, has drawn attention to the dubious practice of conversion therapy practiced by mental health professionals in the country, experts have said.
