Anyway, let us learn a new disorder today. For example, psychosis is usually termed as kurukwa na akili/ kuchizi in Swahili. This is because a person loses touch with reality and starts living in his or her own world. They end up doing things that we ( in the normal world) can not understand.

Medication is usually the best place to start with such a patient. This is to help stabilise the mind after which, he or she can begin therapy.

As a care giver, you will need to have a lot of patience during the process. As I always say, a strong support system is very crucial in handling Mental Health issues. Of course, seasoned with prayers and a lot of tears. ( as breaking down is inevitable)

Otherwise, there is more than just depression in the world of MH.

In summary, do NOT do anything that you do not want to do. The people in your life should be able to understand when you are busy to attend their functions or too broke to contribute to their needs.

Life is hard already. Do not complicate it further in the name of pleasing other people!

It is OKAY to say NO at times!!
