A word From Victor

"After meeting Feranmi, a few years later, she began organizing programs focused on mental health and healing. 

One of those events brought me down from Ife to participate because, at the time, I was going through a lot. Despite being angry at everything, I continued working, even in the ministry. 

During the event, which included about 15 other people, interacting with Feranmi melted my heart. What struck me was that God cares about my mental health too. It's not just about me ministering to people; as much as God cares about the people I minister to, He also cares about the minister."

MENTAL HEALTH IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY

  EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES ON THE ECONOMY OUTLOOK OF A SOCIETY OR NATION. Functional impairment is a direct impact of mental health discomfort and these have consequences on productivity and quality of work.  The consequences of mental ill-health are not limited to just the individual and their immediate social environment like family…it impacts the entire social and national fabric.  They affect the social/national fabric through what I describe as the "unit effect" or one that is better understood as the 'cost per head.' It is however difficult to measure the aggregate or estimated cost of mental burdens because of variables in mental health, incomplete definitions, and lack of data to aid proper analysis.  My Thoughts  I believe that mental health accounts for more economic loss on the economy's growth than chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer etc. I'll prove it.  According to the World Economic Forum, WEF, there are different way

Is Africa's Mental Health Challenge A Case Of Underdiagnosis or Non-Existence?

Image
AFRICA's MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS; A NON-EXISTENT ISSUE OR A CASE Of UNDERDIAGNOSIS? I have something in my head and I have been meditating on this for a while. Basically just trying to establish a balance where necessary. I am an African from Nigeria but something bothers me about our general perception of mental health and I think this is a valid source of concern.  I've had this trouble for a while now and it's safe to say that I have been pondering on this for a number of years. But this entire piece was triggered by a statement I read on Twitter. Someone had made a submission that Africans are not known to hugely patronise antidepressants and other forms of psychotropic drugs because it is "a community- oriented" continent.  As brilliant as this perspective is, I genuinely struggled with the absolute nature of the statement which strongly insinuates that the African continent isn't in dire need of psychotropic and therapeutic interventions because community i
