Mental Health Philippines - The chains of mental illness 2017/2018

In the rural areas of the Philippines, people with mental problems are locked in cages built by their own family outside their homes, closed in wooden barracks or tied to trees.
In the country, about one out of five citizens suffers from a mental disorder, but there is no mental health law. For the most part, these are psychotic patients, 70-80% are schizophrenics. However, the resources to treat them are scarce and there are no doctors: in the country, which counts a hundred million people, there are only 400 psychiatrists, mostly employed in the human resources of companies.
Lack of money to buy medication is another major problem families face and there is often no choice between having to buy food for the family and medicines for a sick relative.
Cages and chains are often an obligatory choice for families, who despite their efforts do not have other alternatives for their loved ones.
Stories seem to repeat from one family to another.
Psychiatric clinics are scarce, they are overcrowded and in very bad condition, medicines have to be paid and many people struggle to find the money even for a first visit.
The result of all this is a large number of people tied or locked up, with no medical care and perspective for improvement.
