There are 5000 patients a year but not enough psychiatrists are available here at St. Giles Hospital, she said the increase in number of patients demanded the development of new psychiatrist.She added this was mainly common for patients from the rural area.
Just imagine 5000 patients are admitted every year this is an alarming rate, we ask ourselves why is this happening?, my assumption is maybe part of the reason is because of the rising cost of living, people cannot think straight, they bottle up what they go through everyday and do not share it to someone they can trust, for fear of being ridiculed.
A man was reported killing his young family last week in Vatuwaqa, and is in a stable condition at the CWM hospital, nobody knows the reason, nobody can answer the Y question precisely but people can gather that certain individuals can go to that extent when they cannot cope with life.
The weekend started on a tragic note for a family of four after three members were hacked to death early yesterday, the 32 year old truck driver is admitted at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at the CWM hospital.
Landlord and neighbour Rohit Narayan said the man had returned from work early on Friday afternoon and joined the neighbours for a kava session.We were drinking kava with him at my home and then I had to leave because I drive a taxi Mr. Narayan said.The Land lord said that around midnight, his wife called him and asked him to call the police they thought the couple was fighting in their home, and maybe that was the time when he was hacking them to death, by the time they entered the house with the police it was too late, the wife and children were already dead.
My resolution to these kind of situation is to let it out, share your problem to someone you can trust don't bottle it up, because there are solutions to every problem that we face in this world.
If you don't have a friend to confide to in this world remember there is a God, go to your room and pray, even if you don't have time for that look up to heaven when you're travelling in a bus or car and get connected to Him, you don't have to move your lips so that the person sitting next to you will think that you're talking to yourself no, just talk to Him in your heart and mind, get connected.
The Bible psalmist says that the sacrifices to God are a broken and contrite spirit, so I encourage you today my friend, share your problems and don't bottle it up, cry it out to a friend or our God.
Let us revert back to a song sung by Black eyed Peas titled 'Where is the Love' , love conquers all, leaders of this beautiful country love your people and do what is truly democratic for the people of Fiji.
