Pole . Glad to hear she made full recovery. You should have followed up with your local politicians , president , MP to look into the state of mental health care in Kenya.
You were wrong, before and after explaining. Streching in English is alowed, but tearing it apart is not acceptable. In your context, you were wrong. Accept that, and, hopefully, learn
I also remember my late aunt having some wild episodes in the early 90s. Its only the other day that it dawned on me that she might have been suffering from Bipolar disorder but am so certain those signs were missed by doctors back then
So did mathari hospital help ama you went somewhere else ?
On the other point kenyan govt needs to emphasize more on mental health. It is a sector that is ignored in kenya.
My heart breaks when I see mentally disabled people caged in dogs kennel with nyororo ya mbwa…surely
Thank God this ended well. My cousin had the same condition. His name was Safari.
He came across as a very eclectic man who was particularly good with a guitar and making cars from coat hangers. Some moments were bad. He would really lose it.
My Dad struggled with him…medication, specialists, etc. All in vain though. The last time I saw Safari was 18 years ago in Kibera.
He taught me a tune. I still play it for my son.
Some medications help. Knew of someone who took antidepressants and bipolar meds . Mental illness is just like any other illness like malaria and typhoid. There is nothing like kurogwa
At that time, depression was such a huge vocabulary. And not many people knew anything about the condition known as depression. They were the days when doctors just prescribed medications to patients without disclosing to them the nature of their ailment.
