Hello guys, to those of you who missed the last mini seminar session, we had Dzifa Attah, a clinical psychologist at Korle-Bu lecture us on “Mental Health: The Real Story”. Mental Health was defined as the maintenance of a successful mental activity. This includes maintaining productive daily activities and maintaining fulfilling relationships with others.
We discussed the myths associated with Mental Health as well as the causes of mental problems. Most people believe that mental health patients are the same and cannot be helped. Other people believe that mental health patients are mostly people with weak characters who can also be violent and destructive.

Dzifa made us aware of the fact that, mental health patients are victims of violence. She traced the causes of mental problems to genetics, psychological trauma, environmental stress as well as biological factors. We found out that mental health patients can be likened to any other patients and can also be helped.
We would like to say a big Thank You to Dzifa Attah.
PS. We will have a Mentor-Mentee session on the 8th of June, 2012.
