"content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, one of the things that has been a big problem for this nation is people being duped that they are psychologically affected and, therefore, need to be confined and restrained in some of the mental hospitals like Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital. Let me assure this House that every one of us, including the Senators, have gone through a crisis and a mental depression in one form or the other. This is the everyday exercise that we find ourselves in. We should treat this as a normal occurrence that happens like a cold or any other infection that may be in the body. We must be able to distinguish the difference between those who are pathologically sick and, therefore, need a higher level of treatment, and those who are suffering because of disturbances in their mental psyche. They are not able to put it in the context of the society in which they live in. They find themselves slightly disoriented. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
