Busting the myths about Down Syndrome | Episode 50| With Dr. Anaita Hegde

Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome 21. It affects physical development and cognitive abilities but does not define a person's potential or worth. Individuals with Down syndrome face unique challenges but also possess incredible strengths, warmth, and creativity.

Empathy and awareness are key to creating an inclusive society. Recognizing their individuality helps break stereotypes and fosters deeper connections. Schools, workplaces, and communities must ensure equal opportunities for them to thrive.
Supporting individuals with Down syndrome requires patience, compassion, and understanding. Caregivers, teachers, and friends play vital roles in their development and emotional well-being.

By showing empathy and raising awareness, we can celebrate individuals with Down syndrome for who they are—unique, capable, and inspiring members of our society.

In this episode, watch Namita conversing with Dr. Anaita Hegde, Pediatric Neurologist at Narayana SRCC Children's Hospital, Mumbai.

'Uncondition Yourself with Namita Thapar' is the first exclusive talk show where our host talks with patients, experts, and doctors on women's health.

When she said people with DS have larger hearts... 😢 I couldn’t help but wish we had tools to measure kindness. The world could truly use more people like our kids.❤

When my son was born his initial few months were very crucial but he fought back n now we r enjoying the life with so much love n kindness. We have one youtube channel also with the name of my child Insight of Ashvik to spread awareness about such lovely individual with Down Syndrome

What an amazing episode . I am a parent of an autistic child. I spoke to Pooja recently and got to know Aryav’s story but listening to this in detail was amazing and teared me up a little because I could identify with so many of her stories . And I learned so much on DS with the factual details shared by Dr Hegde . Really great episode. And love the advocacy work you are doing 🙌
