A Consultant Psychiatrist, Dr Taiwo Obindo, has said that more Nigerians may go mad due to the increasing economic hardship in the country.

Obindo, who is also the President of Association of Psychiatrists in Nigeria (APN), stated this in Lagos on Wednesday.

He said that the current economic hardship, coupled with the level of poverty and other social factors in the country might likely inflict mental illness on more Nigerians.

He listed the social factors to include high cost of living, kidnapping, financial problems, inflation, child abuse, rape, broken homes and broken marriages, traumatic experiences and degrees of violence among others.

Dr Obindo explained that people who were predisposed to the social factors were more likely to develop mental health issues particularly this period the country was faced with lots of economic challenges.

According to him, the Nigerian society is a culture medium for organisms that put people at risk of mental illness.

Obindo, who identified poverty as a leading cause of mental health illness, said that many Nigerians were battling with poverty; saying that might predispose them to mental health conditions.

“The devastating effects of inflation, poverty, insurgent attacks, insecurity and other social crisis across the country, had left several people in need of psychiatric evaluation,” Obindo told NAN.

“No doubt, the situation has resulted to an increase in the number of mental health cases. If you look at the degrees of social crisis and hardships and compare it with what goes on in other climes, you will discover that we have a greater predisposition to developing mental illness.”

Tinubu online ebinpawa warriors will tell you that a lady also fell mad in london.

The best way to survive this harsh period is to inflate the current prices of things you buy by 200%. Thus if there is any new increase, it will not shock you. Maybe before it gets to your inflated figure, miracle might have happened. Lord have mercy.



Tinubu a bad man with good intentions
