That's true Keegan. I've seen photos of people chained to a chair with slave like leg irons. There is no help from society in these countries.

The families can't pay for damage their mi relatives may cause. So they put them in irons. Super sad.

I have a picture of a person in a mental institute in Alabama in a a at Geographic magazine. They had a chair. A single bed. And a wire mesh window.
Then there was a photo of a man in jail. He had a fan. An electric hot pot for tea and coffee. Shelf of books. Posters. And a pastor was visiting him to teach him meditation.

I told my husband. I'd rather be a criminal than bipolar. ( oh the photo of the mi person. They hadn't committed a crime.
