Why is Mental Health not a topic of conversation in African Homes?|| Harmful stereotypes, Mad Macho Mentality, Lack of Mental Health Awareness

Update: 2020-07-14

Description

Hello!

Learning more about mental health and my psychology courses have opened my eyes to the lack of mental health education I received while studying in Nigeria. Growing up in Nigeria seems to be the 'remedy' for a lot of health issues, like treatment before injury measure for mental health, which is just silly.

I hope you join the conversation on mental health on my Twitter: @theeuphoriczat
