Mental Health Treatment
Growing up, I never met or heard of psychiatrist or
mental health. It was until after I
completed high school, started working that a friend mentioned one psychiatrist
in our church. Kenya has a population of
20 million people. I look back now and wonder how the whole community coped
with calamities or adversities. A number
of years ago, there was massive rape in a girls boarding school. This was nauseating. There were no crisis management groups to
help these girls and their parents cope with the trauma. Instead, the
government closed that school and sent all the girls home to their parents. http://weightlossandculture.com/?p=1249

Most people seek treament for other diseases. Mental health treatment has been ignored for many years. Looking around us, and what has been happening, no one is safe, and the need for mental health treatment is even greater.
