Thank you very much!
Some years ago I worked (as a teacher) in a school for children who had been diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Many of the issues I address in the blog were obvious back then--the difficulty of diagnosing, the extreme effect anti-psychotic drugs had on the kids, and the absolute authority of psychologists and psychiatrists over the children's lives. It is an imperfect world, but in the case of psychiatry I think that imperfection can be starkly tragic.
Thank you for sharing the situation in Nigeria with regard to mental illness. I think in the United States we have left behind the spirits, but unfortunately shunning is also the fate of many who suffer from mental illness.
I wish you health and peace.
Regards,
AG

Thank you very much, stay safe and stay healthy by the way i am from Ghana. I think i am the only Ghanaian in the community but i am looking forward to getting some of my colleagues onboard.
You can talk to one or two people there in Ghana to join stemsocial, but am very sure there are so many Ghanaians here on hive blockchain
Hi @nattybongo,
I'm so sorry I made that mistake. So many Hiveans I know from Africa come from Nigeria. It is a very active community here.
In the past I have written about Ghana, indirectly. I wrote a very involved blog about the Guinea worm eradication program.
Peace and health,
AG
