This week we are celebrating World Mental Health
Day. It is a day set aside for mental health education, awareness and advocacy
globally. The main event was celebrated at Kenyatta National Hospital
yesterday.
Today I want to shine light on a little talked
about type of mental illness. A dangerous kind of depression, not because of it
symptoms but because of it rarely get attended to due to mental health
stereotyping and stigma. It is called ‘high-functioning depression.’
