Some have suffered
severe trauma which has led to illness. Others were born with mental
disability. Either way, in countries where infrastructure has collapsed, where
displacement has driven the mentally ill away from services, treatment is often
the same: a life in chains.
I started
documenting the lives of the mentally ill in African countries in crisis in an
attempt to raise awareness of their plight. I traveled to war ravaged areas of
Congo , South Sudan, Somalia and Uganda Somalia
and Kenya Nigeria
