    YOUR VIEWS: In Ghana, people seeking help for mental health issues turn to "prayer camps" who often restrain them with chains and lock them up in cages ➡️ https://bbc.in/2PoLsZe  The practice is banned but more cash is needed to train professionals. #WorldMentalHealthDay2018pic.twitter.com/OEayyX4JtO

        This is very despicable, they have been outlawed but still go on with such practices.

        and it's sad that u can't recognize the complexities around treating people like this...and u can't imagine that their places where the health care infrastructure isn't developed enough to take on this challenge
