A lot of kids in Kenya living with undiagnosed childhood ADHD and parents/teachers think the kid is a kichwa ngumu and try beat the disease out of the kid.

A lot of teenagers have to live through childhood depression without getting any help because teachers and parents write it off as “adolescence inamsumbua”

Untreated mental health conditions in childhood can set up a child for a very difficult future and predisposes them to other conditions in adulthood like addiction and whatnot.

I just wish more teachers and parents could be able to spot symptoms of childhood conditions and seek treatment for their children.

This is information I was given by a very experienced psychologist who gave me this insight.
