@LagosShapers Working on any problem requires acknowledgement first. Either from the part of the friend or relatives. After that, consulting help would be the most efficacious way to find a solution

[Manan Thakrar @mananrt]

@LagosShapers OCD is a disorder of content of thought where a particular thought eg 'My hands are dirty' is so distressing to the friend that to neutralise it one has to wash hands repeatedly

[Manan Thakrar @mananrt]

@LagosShapers In schizophrenia, a person may also have hallucinations i.e. percieving things which are not real like auditory or visual hallucinations. It may also present with a disorganised picture

[Manan Thakrar @mananrt]

@LagosShapers Schizophrenia is a disorder where a person might have Delusions - False Firm, Unshakable beliefs like people are conspiring against me/ talking about me

[Manan Thakrar @mananrt]

@LagosShapers Depression and Bipolar are basically Mood Disorders, where the main stressor is the inability of a friend to control the mood. Much more distressing than it sounds!

[Manan Thakrar @mananrt]

@LagosShapers @GlobalShapers Encourage your friend to talk, assure the friend that it is okay to feel down! assure that neither happiness nor sadness is permanent and one shall get back up for sure !

@LagosShapers and can lead to a pathological level of asocial or on the other end of the spectrum disinhibited behaviour

[Manan Thakrar @mananrt]

@LagosShapers a very underreported part of childhood mental health is sexual abuse, poor and abusive parenting which scars one for life
