Four Doctors Commit Suicide In Abuja by jamespeter10(m): 9:29am On Nov 28, 2019
Between January and June this year, no fewer than four medical doctors, working in Abuja, committed suicide.

Dr Roland Aigbovo, President Association of Resident Doctors, FCT, disclosed this during a campaign against drug abuse, at Wuse Market. He did not give the names of the doctors.

The campaign, part of activities to mark the association’s Health Week was aimed at educating traders and shoppers on the dangers of drug abuse.

He said that many people resort to substance abuse to ease off stress, adding that “people now take refuge in drugs to cover up stress, believing that once someone is high, he or she will forget their problems.

According to him, global burden of mental health disorder is projected to reach 15 per cent by the year 2020.

“This had resulted in suicide, a lot of people had taken their lives as a result of drug abuse. “You will agree with me that suicide is alien to African culture, we are not used to taking our lives no matter the stress, unfortunately, things are changing.

“The medical profession is not left out of this menace because this year alone, between January and June, close to four doctors took their lives. “If those that have been trained to provide people with healthcare become patients to the extent of taking their lives, it is a source of huge concern.”

He said that the residents doctors embarked on the campaign to draw government and public attention to mental health issues.

The type of stress we pass tru here in Naija, sleep and rest cannot cure it, how can you sleep when your mind is crammed with issues that are pilling up on the daily.
I don't know about any body, but the best way to ease that stress is to disconnect from reality for a while and just forget the ache and pain, so I don't blame people who relax with a God given herb and shayo, it doesn't work for everyone o, some are stronger than others, in all never give up on life

Depression is real. Don't complicate people's issues by mocking them. Help those you can help within your means Don't keep to yourself, share your problems with trusted friends and relatives or seek professional advice.

Suicide is never an option to solving any problems, apart from the fact that if you're a religious person, committing suicide is a sin punishable with eternal torment in Hellfire, if you're not a religious person, the pains your loved ones will feel by your sudden demise will be incomparable with what you're feeling now and it may lead them to depression and suicide too and the cycle will continue and all the faults will be on your head!
