Ladan and Laleh Bijani: Iranian conjoined twin sisters

Despondent, Ladan and Laleh returned to Tehran. They started taking antidepressants, eventually warding off suicidal impulses by upping the dosage of amitriptyline to 10 times the normal amount. Every move - getting out of bed, going to the bathroom, sitting down to a meal - had to be negotiated. Laleh took a liking to videogames. Ladan hated them but was forced to watch while her sister played for hours. They couldn't stand it much longer.
