Good evening, everyone. I'm Dr. Jyothi Pranesh, an occupational health physician. Today we'll be talking to Manisha Chowbey, a businesswoman and the challenges she has faced because of face blindness and how she overcame them. Before we listen to Manisha's experiences, some awareness about the condition would be useful. Many of us may not even know what the term face blindness means. It's a condition in which one is unable to recognize familiar faces. The medical term for this is prosopagnosia. Some individuals with severe face blindness may not even be able to recognize their family members unless they speak. So what they're likely to do is to recognize individuals with some specific attributes, like say, a different hairstyle, or spectacles of a particular design, mole on the face, unusual height, and the types of clothes one wears. But all this may fail if they were to meet these individuals in unfamiliar surroundings, where they're not expecting to see them, as many individuals can have these types of, these specific attributes that I've just mentioned. So, how would one make out if one has face blindness? There are several clues on how you can identify somebody around you to help them out. They are frequently failing to recognize familiar people when encountering them in unexpected contexts, they may have difficulty following the plots of TV shows or films. If it is a child, he or she may be particularly clingy even in public places with their parents, because they're worried that they may lose the parent. He or she may wait for the parent to wave when collecting him or her from school, and may mistakenly approach strangers thinking that it's their parents. They may also be socially withdrawn at school and appear to have a difficulty making friends. This may be in contrast, their more confident behavior at home when recognition is not an issue in home surroundings, because they normally have specific attributes that they have for their own family members with which they can easily recognize them, including their voice.
