[quote author=RxH8 post=53039495] I agree completely that persons with mental illness experience suffering and are indeed vulnerable to others who make a lot of claims. Unfortunately, medicine does not have ALL the answers nor claim to do so unlike other fields. Nevertheless, it is not easy to dismiss millions of persons with mental illness that have benefited from medications. [/quote

I agree with u. its only in Africa and especially in Nigeria that people with mental health problems are denied d opportunities to live out their full potentials . They spiritual issues is attached to only brain problems but when one has malaria its normal to take drugs. Many professionals and highly placed in the developed nations would have been on d streets had they come from Nigeria ( they would be deemed possessed or maybe haven been indulged in money rituals) . I pray this country will grow beyond NOLLYWOOD mentality on mental health

RxH8:
According to studies done in Nigeria including Yaba psychiatric hospital and South East, up to 7 out of 10persons with mental illness in Nigeria visit religious, spiritual and traditional healers before going to the hospital. One wonders why they eventually reported at mental hospitals after visiting other places... Of course, because the problem persisted despite help from others. You can check out this link for the YABA study: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/schizort/2013/769161/

Exactly! Many deliverance churches and Pentecostal Churches claiming to deliver even take their leaders secretly to psychiatric hosp. while vulnerable and gullible people keep moving from pillar to post for deliverance. I just want them to mention one case they have seen not told or claimed of one that was completely delivered and is living normal for over ten years without medical intervention

It is no longer news that many of the spiritual and traditional centers clandestinely mix some of our medications with water and herbal concortions given to their clients.You wonder why ......Your guess is as good as mine

Hello! How can you Tell if someone is depressed? I have received questions on that lately. Would be dropping info on that here.

Unlike western countries, it is unusual for Nigerians to admit directly that they are depressed. This is because many see it as a sign of weakness. They are also afraid people will label them as having 'Kolomental', 'Psyco' or mad No body wants to be called such. Some are afraid of landing in 'Yabaleft' or 'Aro' . I have also met a lot who never realized they had a problem that could be solved. When hopelessness sets in, a few have concluded the only viable solution is suicide. How sad!

Although making a diagnosis calls for involvement of mental health experts, there are basic signs that family membes, friends and colleagues can pick. This may well prevent further decline and save the life of that loved one.

There are three main things to look for:
Loss of interest- He or she begins to ignore activities that were once sources of excitement
Low mood- He or she begins to look sad. Some actually cry but tell you there s nothing wrong. Generally, they find it hard to explain this states of unhappiness or sadness.
Low energy- This is often quite common because people find it easier to to admit they are tired than depressed..

HOW DO YOU TELL IF SOMEONE IS DEPRESSED?

Other signs that could be seen are;
Impairment in concentration
Poor sleep, especially waking up much earlier than before,brooding over issues.
poor appetite.

Expression of hopelessness,worthlessness,idea of guilt,pessimism and low self esteem are pointers to an impending doom ,SUICIDE.
It is advisable not only to keep an eye on individuals with the aforementioned signs but to support them in getting help from the specialist.
