Mental illness major cause of depression and mortalityA mental health report by the World Health Organisation in June this year ranking Kenyans as the sixth most depressed people in Africa must have missed out something in the survey! There is something amiss with our collective mental health. According to the Ministry of Health, about one in every four Kenyans will suffer from mental illness at one point in their lives. Related to the foregoing is the high number of homicides, especially the few high pro?le ones, recorded this year. It is one month since the 2019 World Mental Health Day was marked under the theme, ‘Young People and Mental Health in a Changing World’.
