Dr Think Twice
The Chief Executive Officer of Think Twice Foundation Ghana, Mr. Ernest Birmeh, popularly known in the country as Dr. Think Twice, "National Consultant and Activist against societal pressures" in the country, is calling on Mental Health Authorities, to take keen interest on negative SOCIETAL PRESSURES, since is the major causes of mental health challenges in the country.
“The Department has seriously 'neglected' the issue of SOCIETAL PRESSURES, one of the fundamental causes of mental health; and that is what my "NGO, Think Twice Foundation Ghana has taken it up. It has been creating awareness across the country through prompted suicides. Recent Action Abossey Okine roundabout."
A country which relies largely on imports and foreign technical know-how, means, is 'sitting' on huge mental health challenges, and societal pressures are the major causes of these challenges. Negative pressures are major causes of many unplanned born babies, what affects majority of children negatively affects the entire society including parents, adults, animals, water bodies, etc.
A country which "can’t manage their resources, where there are huge inefficiencies in the systems of society, where their environment can’t be kept neat, where foods are prepared anyhow for consumption, food products are largely placed anyhow for sale, where institutions can’t function to the best including governance, etc," are all indications of mental health challenges facing society including suicides.
A country where viciously, everyone is mandated to marry, give birth and divorce is discouraged, etc, will experience huge mental health challenges. Is about time the authorities of Mental Health, team up with the NGO, for more advocacies on Societal Pressures. The NGO has finished with awareness creation, remaining, campaign, education and others. Currently, waiting for logistics.
