Personality disorders are so common in the West. We just need to improve our quality of life a bit and no one will want to go and live in that climate. So sad!

These people cover realities with the word of God. This is a misuse of the word.
Your child is not well and you pray for him instead of using the God Damn brain God has given you. I'm not saying prayer is not good. My point is that medical help is also from GOD but for some reason, we substitute God and the brain he has given us with the Pastor. Nkwasiasm.

Thera is also a problem with most of us who give birth to children in aburokyire. We call them aburokyire mma. They do foolish things and we refuse to rebuke them because they are seen as Gold. that. Their behaviour degenerates them we start crying. Nonsense.

I bet there are many agencies dealing with mental health issues that the parents could have contacted to obtain immediate assistance for their son. But they chose to rely on useless belief in spiritual attack, to their detriment. Humans should use religion to worship God but not allow themselves to be misled by unfounded religious claims.

I strongly believe the guy's parents missed their oversight on him; they should have noted his behavior long before it got worse. He must have been abusing substance without their knowledge. A little more attention to a little change in his habits is all they need to monitor him closely.

One UK parent of a young guy realized this when they thought their son's behavior was crossing a red line and quickly sent him to Ghana.

Not every blackperson has the mental fortitude to exist safely amongst a racist society, amongst the whites where everything white must be glorified while everything black must be demeanor. This causes undue stress, confusion n poses serious mental dichotomies for black youth especially and can easily lead to this. They even end up seeing their own parents as fools. If this boy was living in Ghana such wouldn't happen. So why did this happen in the uk?

For starters teach your kids to speak n understand their local language, wear African clothes n eat African food. Because once they leave the home everything is foreign n complicating n in direct opposite to your culture so make your home as anti European as possible. Make your home little Ghana. It gives your kids a fatey net, a castle of comfort that shield the kids away from the Confusion outside in school, the streets, racist teachers etc. But if you make your home eurocentric n the kid goes outside n the energy outside is racist n anti black. They have no sense of community, no safe space. Their minds go crazy, they don't feel protected, no safe haven. They start thinking there is nothing to live for after all my skin is most hated therefore death is the only savior, peace

Sometimes believers suffer unnecessarily because of lack of knowledge and in some cases because of a misguided understanding of what it means to live by faith.
During the Covid Pandemic we saw many misguided believers refuse to take protective measures. Some of these people were prominent Christian leaders in their communities. Covid killed them.
Up to the present moment many misguided Christians (sometimes acting on the advice of some "Man of God") refuse to take REGULAR medications for their Blood Pressure or refuse to allow their Diabetes to be treated. They do this in the mistaken belief that they are acting in faith. Sadly, most end up suffering catastrophic strokes or severe kidney disease or kidney failure. Many of us know of people who were diagnosed with cancers at stages that could be treated but who refused treatment and instead opted for faith prayers. These sincere but misguided people are no longer with us. They died premature deaths.
Man was created by God in His image and so we have many of the attributes of God such as our ability to invent things and use the world around us for our good. This does not mean that we are in any way comparable to God Almighty. God has given mankind the ability to learn, to discover and make progress so that we can steadily improve our living conditions and make life safer for us. So, for example, this is why it is idiotic to drive without wearing a seat belt which has been shown by countless studies to improve survivability in vehicle crashes. Scientific discoveries, the invention of medications, the invention of accurate diagnostic procedures and high precision medical equipment must all be seen as very positive developments. THEY ARE A GIFT FROM GOD. It is therefore extremely foolish to refuse to make use of these blessings.

Ei this name Obinim! There's something wrong with our way of thinking. We label everything Spiritual. We usually seek spiritual interventions to our problems and after they have failed then we seek physical. It should be the other way round. Who determines what is spiritual? Ideally, we must first find physical solutions to our problems and after they have failed we seek spiritual interventions. Even in seeking spiritual solutions, how does one separate the wheat from the chaff? Charlatans abound.

- "love the Lord your God...with all your mind,"
- Isaiah 1:18: “'Come now, let us reason together,' says the Lord…”
- 2. Colossians 1:9–10
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him:
- 4. Jeremiah 3:15–16
And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding. And when you have multiplied and been fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the LORD, they shall no more say,

WE JUST REFUSE TO USE OUR BRIANS.

The result of giving your Aburokyire son everything he needed from you from the moment he began to walk and talk. It’s surprising that you live in the UK and you claim to not have heard anything about mental health. Mental health is predominant in almost every area in the UK; most people here are mentally unstable. You chose to cocoon yourself in the comfort of your home and did not bother to look at what was going on around you, and with the environment you live in. Prayers are important, but the UK has one of the best mental healthcare services and facilities in the world. Sorry for your losses, but you didn’t do well at all as a father. You missed the opportunity to get your son the help he needed.
