At 11:30 am on a sunny Sunday, we find 41-year-old Ruth Njeri sitting outside her house in Nakuru County's Upendo Estate. She looks jovial as she welcomes us, revealing that she rarely leaves her compound due to her condition.
It has been 28 years since Ruth, a mother of two, has been living with bipolar disorder. Ever since the condition first reared its head in 1996, life has not been easy.
