Art is helping Nigerians deal with mental illness in ways traditional medicine struggles to
While about 20 to 30 percent of Nigeria’s population isto suffer from mental disorders - a very significant number considering Nigeria has an estimated population of over 200 million people.
Around 22 years later, however, the government acknowledged its failure to achieve its objectives and went on to review the policy. She says the Tender Arts and CAMHC programme has proven to be the most effective form of health care, even for mental health illnesses. “I like the lion drawn on the wall. I am the firstborn in my family, so I feel like I am the head and the lion makes me feel bold, strong and determined to heal quickly.” She said, looking intermittently at the artwork on the wall.
“But it becomes a problem when they are not ready for this new life. And if parents are not careful, the children get triggered into depression which affects their mental health.” Vero said. Dr Mashudat Bello-Mojeed Chief, a psychiatrist at the CAMHC says the murals made by Tender Arts Nigeria were fascinating and therapeutic.
