With increasing calls being made for more attention to be paid to mental health, one advocate is telling his story.
He is entrepreneur Lucius “Lui” Louis.
He says that at one point, life became so overwhelming that he voluntarily admitted himself into the psychiatric hospital for a week. Louis believes Barbados is undergoing a mental health crisis and is hopeful that sharing his experience will help people trying to navigate the challenges. He was speaking as a guest on Mornin’ Barbados.
Mr Louis urges those having challenges to accept help from those who are reaching out. He says many people tell him he is strong, but he maintains he is not as strong as mothers and fathers who juggle many different challenges. And Mr Louis is thankful to those who have given him support through his challenges.
