20-30% Of Nigerian Politicians Are Suffering Mental Disorders – Nigerian Gov

I think the figure is higher than that, depending on the level of madness

FG... Insulting our intelligence since 1426

base on what survey?

Many are mad but few are roaming.....by the way, Nwaamaikpe is one of them

Many of those people are on Nairaland. if not why would somebody wake up and see a post then start commenting completely out of point.

By the way, mental disorder is not only when somebody is roaming the streets, mental disorder doesn't necessarily mean somebody is mad(as in kolo) You may just be feeling depressed, funny and stressed mentally. I believe it is like this becaise Nigerians do not care about their mental health.

That percentage is too low...

What do you expect from the world capital of poverty?it should be more than that. Virtually everyone is mad.From generator noise everywhere,air pollution,oil spillage,constant job loss,so many failed businesses,no electricity,mosquitoes everywhere,hunger,stupid leaders,zero health care and you expect to see normal people with functioning brain?Nigeria is a ZOO.

Africans, particularly Nigerians dont take psychological issues as the do other medical health, and we wonder why people keep committing suicide. schizophrenia, bipolar are real diseases.

15Ebisco:
The Federal Government has said an estimated 40 million Nigerians are believed to be suffering from mental disorders.

Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Health, Abdulaziz Mashi Abdullahi, stated this on Monday at the ongoing mental health action committee and stakeholders workshop in Abuja.

Abdullahi blamed the country’s high burden of mental disorders to inadequate attention paid to mental illnesses, misconceptions and lack of awareness on the part of the Nigerian public.

He said more people will be disabled by psychological challenges than complications arising from HIV/AIDS, heart disease, accidents, and wars combined by the year 2020.

He identified ways of addressing the country’s mental health burden to include: fast-tracking the enactment of the Mental Health Act as well as the resuscitation of the national mental health action committee for the coordination of stakeholders’ activities on mental health and psychosocial supports in the country.

He said: “In Nigeria, an estimated 20%–30% of our populations are believed to suffer from mental disorders. This is a very significant number considering Nigeria has an estimated population of over 200 million.

“Unfortunately, the attention given to mental health disorders in Nigeria is inadequate. The level of awareness of the Nigerian public on mental health issues is also understandably poor and with lots of misconceptions.

“By 2020, it is estimated that common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse-related disorders, will disable more people than complications arising from HIV/AIDS, heart disease, accidents, and wars combined! This is an astonishing statistic and possesses serious questions as to why mental health disorders are not given the needed attention that it currently receives.

“A policy for mental health services delivery was developed with several key provisions of the policy, including establishing a body at the Federal Ministry of Health to focus on Mental Health issues.

“Some of the pertinent issues is how to address and dialogue with stakeholders on the burden of mental health, intimate them on the Mental Health policy, identify ways to fast-track the enactment of the Mental Health Act and modalities for resuscitating the National mental health action committee for coordinating the activities of various stakeholders on mental health and Psychosocial supports in Nigeria.”
