One glaring omission is the role the extended family played in forestalling mental break down in our traditional family set up. There was always an uncle or an aunt to talk one through trying times. We have gone nuclear and have to carry out own crosses. I also recall how some funny relative would arrive from the village for what appeared a meaningless visit. Unbeknown to us, he was there to counsel the parents through some marital tribulation. These days one only has to reach out for his Baretta or Magnum or colt to sort the problem once and for all.

You just had to bring this up Sharon!

Anyway, a great article Dr. Simuyemba. I wish you could come up with an ongoing initiative to raise public awareness regarding this stealthy killer, depression!

A Doctor, Costa Tembo died after his fellow Doctors and the Nurses went on strike while in the Intensive Care Unit where he was on treatment for poisoning. While on strike that fateful day, the drip got finished while the machine kept on reducing the blood levels in Costa’s body and hence his death due to dehydration. Costa was a Doctor in charge of Mumbwa area until his death. So much was said at the burial ceremony but did not help the mother much.
