    "content": "Fellow Senators, these are definitions that you can get online. However, when you read the WHO definitions, you know that mental illnesses also include depression, anxiety, personality disorders, eating disorders, alcohol and substance addiction and posttraumatic stress disorders. Many of us have suffered these illnesses whether or not we want to acknowledge it. However, largely, people do not get to know when they are suffering from these illnesses. What happens is that a person finds themselves reacting or behaving in a certain way or being unable to cope with certain pressures of everyday life. It is simply because they have an underlying issue. We need to tell Kenyans today that these are not spirits and they are not bewitched. These are illnesses that can be treated. The state of our mental health in Kenya is terrible. I remember when we started this journey with a Statement and went on to a Motion which I had cosponsored with 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."
