About18 million Nigerians representing 12 percent of the nation’s 150 million population require medical attention on mentalrelated ailments, a United Kingdom-based Nigerian Consultant Psychiatrist and CEO of Snapse Services, Dr Vincent Udenze, has said.

Another random sampling madness by a mad udenze who needs to be given an overdose shot of valium and lagathin to cure his madness.

Nonsense

when it come to money everybody is mad

Phuuuleeees ... Give mad man ...oops... Give badt man a break

safarigirl: Na today?

When you no see light for 3 days, you dey pay at least 100 naira for fairly clean water, you and mosquitoe dey watch match together, when you get to the hospital, one frustrated nurse will nearly break your bone marrow sey she dey give you injection (if you manage to even see the doctor after waiting for four hours with a life and death faver case), then you still have to handle those bus and okada drivers that are competing for how many people they can kill in a day, not to mention police officers that are eager to use the next unfortunate person for target-shooting practice.

And on top of these problems, you enter Nairaland and open the thread for the First Family, only to see Jonah jr that looks like he swallowed the entire Alaba market, you no go crase?

Lwkmd for here...Safarigirl who make you vex today?

It's not rocket science. One only needs to go to the Oscar thread to see that peeps with loose screws in their heads are running amok everywhere.

Who is mentally ill? and who is mentally balanced? phuck all the so-called experts, if i don't live in your world or do things the way you want me to, does that makes me mantally ill?

I think it's the psychiatrist that is mentally sick how can he say in a crazy country like 9ja with population a of about one hundred and seventy million only 18 million is sick mentally.

coogar:

at least 5% of the quoted figure are nairalanders....

Love ur profile swag.......is that really u

This figure is too small. By the time all the various branches of the Government, Government Parastatals and their staff, all Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas, Niger Deltans, Christians, Muslims and Nairalanders are included, the figure will be much higher.

*solid*:
The number is quite more than that, they havent heard or M a d Cow, 190 etc.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Mental illness is a social construct. The definition of mental illness is currently a debate within the psychology world.

The DSM has been modified several times in order to get an accurate diagnose mental illness. Right now we're at DSM-IV and still not accurate.

According to Seligmen, mental illness is what society perceive as abnormal and aberrant. In other words, mental illness is just a subjective perception.

I.e Homosexuality was once diagnosed as a mental illness. A man that likes a woman is normal, a man that likes little girls may possibly be mentally ill.

Nigeria has NO functional psychiatry, psychology or any behavioral facility, so how were the figures determined? Based on what criteria?

Nigeria sha

Most of these mentally ill people are in Lagos. (mostly in traffic)

lekanolas: About18 million Nigerians representing 12 percent of the nation’s 150 million population require medical attention on mentalrelated ailments, a United Kingdom-based Nigerian Consultant Psychiatrist and CEO of Snapse Services, Dr Vincent Udenze, has said.

Udenze spoke yesterday at a one-day interactive session on improving the role of the family in mental health care held in Abuja. He, however, said there could have been a drastic decline in the figure but for lateness in diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Udenze listed possible causes of mental disease to include addiction to drug and alcohol and excessive depression, noting that families of affected persons have basic roles to play in ensuring prompt diagnosis and treatment for people living with the disorder. While calling on private investors to come into the rescue in the country, he expressed displeasure with public attitude towards the patients, saying: “Those with diabetics go on the street, we don’t stigmatise them.

Those with high blood pressure go to work, we don’t stigmatise them. We talk about those people with mental disorder badly when they are actually someone dear to us; when they are actually members of some particular families.

“Unfortunately, when we say mental illness, most of us jump into conclusion and think of the man on the street, the person we call the mad man; we stigmatize him. That is a lady or gentleman who had been unfortunately let down by the society because he is ill, no one cares for him or her; she is left there on the street. In some cultures, they even get abused, raped.

There is thinking that if you sleep with a mad woman, you can make some money. So, society abuses them. All of us as Nigerians, what are we doing about this?” He added that families are often stigmatized along with the patients after a cure is achieved, and that such stigmatization could last for generations.

According to him, mental disorder did not mean that the person on the street could not be healed. Udenze said that services of professionals should be sought to save the patients from the disease. Mental illness, he said, is manageable like diabetics and hypertension, among others, stressing that early diagnosis and treatment was the best way to treating

Man, you are correct. Is either his source of information deceived him or he is infected with brain disease. I know of two members of house of rep. They are like caged lion. Highly unstable and behave like house flies. They are always driving against traffic. Park cars any where. Especially on fridays, with quantity of girl.
If you divide nigerians into two parts, less than half is normal. Who will then say wonders will ever end?
What about pastor's who openly abuses other people's wife?
