mystique

I love this piece. It absolutely captures the essence of the people without stereotyping them as is our wont in Nigeria.
It also points out the need for greater emphasis/advocay on mental health issues in Nigeria.
If Medical professionals hold such beliefs as your young "corper" doctor,what is the average Nigerians view on depression?

Thank you Teju for this piece. As a Medical Social Worker in a teaching hospital, it is frustrating to try and explain to Doctors, Nurses etc the social issues that accompany any condition. Social issues -that are beyond fiances- which can deter the access to and course of treatment. Social issues which at times we are too embarrassed about to put into words
