‘Psychosis’: FADA with new episode on mental health

Mental health is a topic that has become increasingly popular on Aruba. The topic is however, still considered a difficult one as it makes a person vulnerable when speaking on it. People often avoid discussing it out of fear, shame, or stigma.

Not only adults develop psychological diseases but so do children and teenagers, no matter the color of their skin, their race or their age.

In this episode you will get to know Luis. Luis is a person who opted to use substances to help him deal with his day-to-day routines.

The result was that Luis faced psychotic episodes and reached pre-schizophrenia. He elaborates on his story which also introduces the psychological disease known as ‘psychosis’.

FADA will be presenting the theme on 24ora.com this Thursday at 9:00 PM. Stay tuned.
