Psychiatric hospital in Sierra Leone
Kissy Mental Home is the only Psychiatric hospital in Sierra Leone. This Purgatorio is just outside Freetown, in Kissy. The people who are held here, have no support, shunned by their families as well as the African society. The patients have no proper therapy, the most aggressive are in chains; the only treatment they get is some very strong medications such as Largactil, Chloroprozine and Haldol, to keep them quiet. They have a piece of bread, some rice and two litres of water per day.

I am a teacher, a lecturer in a secondary school; I have a Master in Biochemistry at the University of New Jersey. I worked in a school in Bo, near Kono. My psychiatric problem is a psychosis due to drug abuse.
I got a MA Magna cum laude and I applied for a scholarship for a PHD at Harvard.
I passed the interview but during that time I used to take drugs.
