Source: https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/sick-and-chained-africans-with-mental-health-conditions/5613745.html Summary: For nearly a year, Benjamin Billal was kept chained to a rock. “I was taken to a faith healing center by my grandmother and my mother,” Billal told reporters by video link from Monrovia, Liberia on Tuesday. “I was chained to a rock, where I stayed for about 11 months. There, there was no food. They gave us food at will -- when they feel like giving you food, they gave you food. And there, we had no freedom moving around.” Why was he treated this way? Apparently because of his mental health condition. After being freed, Billal was taken to Liberia’s only mental health medical center. There, doctors reported that he had depression. The use of extreme methods to restrain and detain mentally sick people is not unusual in Africa. In fact, it is common in many parts of the world. In some cases, children as young as 10 are being chained and held in extremely small spaces by their families, a new report by Human Rights Watch has found. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that as many as 20 percent of Liberians suffer from minor to moderate mental health problems. Yet, WHO data shows that the West African country has extremely limited medical care for such patients.
