RE: #AIR-CLINIC HEALTH TALK: What Causes Schizophrenia (Madness)? Why You Should Care To Know...

in #air-clinic7 years ago (edited)

This actually made me laugh

Delusions: is an abnormal false belief in something unreal. Eg. Thinking that President Obama is in love with you

Fun Fact
In some Nigerian societies, schizophrenia is believed to be caused by evil spirits and their solution is to beat the sufferer till the evil spirit flees the body of the sufferer.

Let's learn and educate as many as we can.

Sort:  

AS IINNN, NOT EVEN NIGERIAN SOCIETIES ONLY, I WOULD SAY Africa as a whole. The lever of superstitious believes and illiteracy is overwhelming. God help us.

Lol this is so true in the Philippines. A lot of people still bring mentally ill individuals to faith healers and folk medicine.

Hey @the.chiomz,
thank you for the insightful comment dear.
The Evil spirit theory is what these scammish faith-healers use to decieve many and dupe them of their money.
Thats why we are educating people to do the right thing.

When sick, visit hospital quick!
