Wetin concern you with wetin no concern you? This is a very serious issue. Someone that ign0red pastors will listen to u with a very sensitive issue like this? She go just break bottle for ur head. Evening news paper trying so hard to hold on what she has got. Bad or good, she no care. .hence the rejection of the pastors

CalliDora1:



It's not really about her now. Im talking about preventing such things from reoccurring.

NeoWanZaeed:
If ur guy is okay with the test. .no problem. As for me, make a no just vex. Make a take test say a dey craze or n0t. What kinda . .tsw. Make a just kip quiet

Liposure:
Not a bad idea but sounds weird. This is becos in this part of the world, people tend to take offence at matters concerning their mental state of mind. To them, it's like going too far.

mutter:
Don't think it will solve the problem.

themayor4542:
I think it's actually a good idea. Sometimes it's good to know what one is getting into. There's also the fact that a lot of people have mental problem (doesn't mean the person is roving mad) from depression to bipolar and all sorts.
So yes i think it's a good way to go.

Mindlog:
Mental health issues are very sensitive issues, in this part of the world telling one to go for mental health assessment is equal to "accusing them of being mad"

Some mental health issues can be hereditary and can run in the family such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, suicidal ideation etc

So while dating be very observant of the person and his/her family of origin, even if there is an indication of something make effort to go online to read up what it is all about, causes, symptoms and treatment options. Also while online, read up on the 3 clusters of personality disorders.

I believe this would help one to make informed decisions.

By the way, experiencing mental health issues does not equate to being "mad' because for many disorders when properly managed, one can still execute their daily functioning with professional intervention alongside the loving support and understanding from family and friends.

CalliDora1:
This has been bothering me ever since I heard the predicament of a sister. So I've been thinking on how to go about this in order not to appear like one is overdoing things.

So I want to know if it's right or not necessary to suggest to whoever you plan settling down with to go for a mental health assessment/test or at least check their mental history to rule out any issues before finally sealing the relationship.

Now, there have been news and stories of spouses hacking or killing their spouses at the slightest provocation. So been thinking it has to do with the state of their mental health and if it had been checked and discovered in time, they prolly would have gotten help on how to manage the situation or even not gone ahead with the marriage.

You know, some people can appear sane but have some underlying mental health issues waiting to be triggered and one can not know by merely looking at them or dealing with them on the pheripheral until you hit the spot, which the other person may not know what it is. So it calls for serious concerns and I think should be added to the numerous tests conducted prio to marriage preparations.

So, would it be wrong if you suggest he or she goes for this test? would it not look too extreme like taking things too far? Or would it be a step in the right direction?
I'm just wondering.

not necessary as long as no one is mad among the siblings. its absolutely necessary to see him very angry at least once to kw how he manages anger

tobechi74:
There is a stigma attached to this word MENTAL or PSYCHO that pushes people away. U less you tell your partner that it is a pastor , before be go agree.
Sad.
Religion has taken over role of counsellor

Karleb:

I might just remain single forever.

Even in advanced country, going to a therapist or a psychiatrist is a stigma. It's something that might make you unfit for a high status position.
