ترس از سقوط

Episode 74 of Nosh Daru. With another beautiful quatrain by the sage Omar Khayyam, it will be published in Ordibehesht, 2005.

 "Khayyam, if you are drunk, be happy."

With Maherkhi (with Laleh Rokhi), if you sit down, be happy.

Because the end of the world is nothingness. 

"It's as if you're not there, you want to be happy."   

This episode answers the key question of which underlying characteristics increase the fear of falling and fall injuries.

Falls and their fear are not unique to old age. Falls and their fear are also influenced by countless other factors that warn of falls years before the clinical or paraclinical diagnosis of the disease. An attempt has been made to address a number of these factors in this episode, in the hope that it will be a wake-up call for anyone seeking information on this subject.

Text and performance by Dr. Sepideh Arbabi, with the presence of my guest Maryam Che, a clinical psychologist.
