Though the World Health Organization regards homosexuality as normal variation of human sexuality, a group of doctors in Delhi who claim them to be sexologists have a different opinion about it. According to them, homosexuality is a mental illness much like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. They claim to turn homosexuals into heterosexuals in a matter of months and use a highly discredited practice which includes giving electric shocks or nausea-inducing drugs, prescribing testosterone or talk therapy.  These procedures in turn can lead to depression, anxiety, seizures, drug use and suicidal tendencies. So, the practice is stoutly condemned by mainstream health regulatory bodies, both in India and abroad, because of its potentially devastating effects on the lives of homosexuals. But it is alleged that the unethical practice is going on but unfortunately the government is silent over the issue.
