The level of awareness with regards to Mental Health in Nigeria is pathetically low.
It is sad that in a world like this where we have so many ailments affecting us, millions of Nigerians are ignorant to this very key part of our health that affects us all.
Mentally challenged individuals are often locked up and beaten, or called derogatory names like "ogbanje", "ode", "kolo" and even witch!
This is the year 2013! (Many people need to wake up!)
But thankfully there exists an organization IN Nigeria dedicated to creating awareness about mental health conditions.
