Yo'll Kenyans with mental illness need to start seeking help. Stigma is only stigma if you entertain it. Last week, one I suspected to be "off" (he had chewed nails to the nail-beds, looked strung out and misplaced for a person of his profession). Only to reveal later that he had a mental illness, something I asked about the first day. I am certain s/he is not getting treatment and is self medicating with cigarettes and women and booze. Now this one: So, we are to believe that this one is Natalia Bryant's friend's come to update a Kenyan online rag!
