On #MentalHealthDay, Fatima* in Yemen told us there is hope. "Yes for sure there is. I restored my self-confidence." Fatima* (name changed for privacy) suffered from severe hallucinations and constantly heard voices that made her cry, scream and act violently with her children. Sometimes, she couldn't even recognize them. She went through a divorce due to her mental health condition and moved from her husband’s house in Sana’a to her parents' house in Hajjah. Her siblings took her for treatment in a clinic, but it closed after a while. Then she heard about the @msf_yemen clinic in Hajjah. "My mental health deteriorated after the death of my father...I could not be a mother to my children or a sister to my siblings. I was a hopeless case. No one accepted me. I sat in the dark most of the time, and it was an absolute headache for my family. I turned their joy into sorrow on any occasion.” Fatima receives both psychological support and medical treatment provided by a psychologist and a doctor. She also participates in the women's group sessions organized in the Day Care Center launched by MSF in April 2022. "These sessions provided me with information and helped me rely on myself. I became an independent woman after having depended on people for so long. I pray, read the Quran and exercise. I also help my mother and siblings with housework and take care of my children,” she says.
