I personally attended the young man at the hospital emergency😢 The picture has never gone off my mind

[@marynjeri204]

Parents should be careful with the kids sana sana after campus,we feel overwhelmed and feel like nothing is working 😭

[@KikiKikih-g9l]

In this case it’s a condition he was suffering from called bipolar. Ndio ilikua inamsumbua

[@Peshy969]

We also lost our loved one last year due to mental health. He was brilliant. Scored over 400 marks. Joined national school and got A KCSE. Secured job with international companies and was travelling the world. Most people envied his achievements but for him he felt empty and lacked purpose of life. Unfortunately, we lost him 😢. When we connect dots, we suspect he had bipolar. Awareness should be created about mental health.

[@elsykage3942]

I like the thoughts on mental issues. My strong advice,even as you seek spiritual interventions,counselling, rehab always ensure you seek professional medical consultations.....by a psychiatrist or psychologist for accurate diagnosis and treatments....mental health issues just like other physical illness require urgent medical solutions,some are emergencies even as you seek prayers, And i keep saying.....if stuck,come to Mathare if not so sure where to start.

[@MethayaKagoni]

I agree.

[@carolinemukei413]

Very well said. Great advice

I feel sorry for this guest. it's sad that, the doctors took long before giving him a proper diagnosis for his mental illness . The story also highlights a huge gap on mental health and mental first aid awareness .

[@elsykage3942]

This story has annoyed me,we need to do more. This case required an assessment by a psychiatrist 1st before counselling. 2ndly, at times the resistance to treatment is from the familes,the stigma ,am learning people prefer to do "kuongoleshwa"because unfortunately the treatment options are long term and looked at as not good"dawa za Mathare" 3. Assess to care is also an issue....very few options with proper and qualified mental health professionals I hate the issue of "daktari wangu" most times we don't ask who this people are...their credentials etc Then no follow up...because it not easy to convince ourselves our relatives are not capable to understand they are unwell.
