摘要
After an acid attack, also known as vitriolage, many patients suffer from changes in life perspective, behavior, feelings, social withdrawal, social isolation, and depression. Formal and informal social support is vital for the proper and complete rehabilitation of acid burn victims. The government should form separate public help centers for such patients. The need of the hour, however, is the invention of proper legislation for the prevention of this heinous crime.
