“My elder sister gave birth two weeks ago and she is having a mental breakdown. From normal hospital treatment, they referred us to a psychiatric home.
“They have been treating her from some days now. My elder sister is getting aggressive. She does not know her name. She is fighting and they even chained her to the bed. She is not getting better.” The relative of the nursing mother said.
The lady disclosed that the hospital advised that she needs to be admitted for a month which is considered expensive.
“They said we have to admit her for a month. Do you know how much that is? Do you know how much it is to admit a patient here?
“I don’t have any other person to help us or assist us. Please if there is any way you can assist me so that she will get better.
“She has not breastfed her baby for a long time now. We are at psychiatric hospital in Uselu in case you want to come around. Please just help me. I want her to get better.” She said.
