Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A mental health professional at the Juba Teaching Hospital (JTH) is urging parents to protect their children against tough situations to avoid mental health illness.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with Juba Monitor, a psychologist who is also a psychiatrist at JTH Fatima Darious, said most patients admitted with complicated mental illnesses have a history of prolonged suffering abuse and environmental hazards.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost mental illness cases we have in our department were generated from genetic backgrounds and family history as well as the surrounding that the young ones live,\u201d Fatima said.<\/p>\n

The health professional strongly urged parents not to let children get exposed to harmful substances and toxic drugs including opium; cocaine and Marijuana.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsumption of toxic drugs such as opium, cocaine and Marijuana generated from the surrounding have also contributed much towards mental complication to most young boys these days making it difficult for some parents to handle,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said sometimes a mental health worker has a hard time handling violent patients who injure people and destroy properties which force workers to call the police intervention resulting in the arrest and detention of the patients which further complicate their recovery.<\/p>\n
