Hi, According to what she said, This lady has a principle of Mental Health concerns. We must be careful when we describe mental health and mental illness. There are differences between them. Let me explain each one of them. Mental health is the condition that which an individual cannot cope with their daily activities, finds it difficult to concentrate on the activities they enjoyed before, refuses to participate in social activities, for friends, sleeps long hours, stays at home for long periods, cannot study, learn, lack interest for activities they usually like, and fell loneliness, Mental illness refers to all mental health for instance, Depression, anxiety, personal disorder, anorexia, bipolar, schizophrenia all these disorders together we call mental illness. I hope she finds someone to help her overcome her concerns.

Thank you for sharing your story and that of others aswell. May you continue advocating and spreading awareness to many others.
God bless you Noella, Nick and the entire team for this.
RIH Mum, Noella stay strong. And yes you need God too! I’m praying for you. I too struggle with bipolar.
Noella everything will be fine.
I've watched this documentary on KTN today and all I can say is that Noella is very strong. All the best to her. She is an iron lady.
Love You My Primary school Teacher R.I.P Mrs. Luka
❤ to everyone going through a tough time, it will all be well 😏
This is an amazing story. I admire your courage Noella and Nick and everyone that is struggling with mental health in a society that still has no clue. Your courage is outstanding and a testimony to everyone who is struggling with mental health issues. I bumped into this video when I was just about to do my biology assignment which is part of a course I'm taking on behavioral health. I have seen the need in our society and I really want to be part of the solution I think normalizing the discussion on mental health would be the place to start. Understanding that it is normal to have mental health issues just like it is normal to have a physical health issue. Demystifying mental health for the entire population will go a long way in advocating for mental health services in our country. Thank you for taking the courage to share your story Noella and I'm really really sorry about your mama. She is surely resting in the bosom of Abraham 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤. Now back to my assignment, I have got to get this certificate on behavioural health 😊.

Wow!! Thank you for sharing your world with us, Noella. I am so sorry about your mom’s passing and your struggles. You’re in my prayers. God bless you!
Noella's Dad 'Ladies are never told about their weight, we do not want fights '😂😂
You never know how to explain everything and not being understood makes everything worse,silence sometimes feels like the solution 🙃
What a supportive family ❤ Wishing you the very best Noella
I have no words for Noella, Nick and their families. I have walked this journey as a caregiver for the last 16 years and I know this journey too well. The day we overcome stigma, that is when 80% of the work will have been done. STIGMA is the monster when it comes to mental illnessnes. Power to Noella and Nick and all mental health warriors.
Noella's mum reminds me of my mum. She supported all of us no matter what we were going through. Personally she helped me through my depressed state. It was tough losing the one person who holds all of you together.
Waah this was hard for me to watch😢,I've done a rewind,thrice
I cannot fathom my feelings rn..thanks Noella❤
Thank you for being so open. ❤❤❤
It is comforting to realize that individuals have similar problems and that they are the same no matter where they are. I am really sorry about her mother , she was a great vibrant woman who never stopped advocating for her daughter during the entire process. I am sure that throughout her life everything was the same. Rest in peace Nella's mum. These documentaries brodan end expand my perspective on people and the world. Respects and heratfelt affections ….
I wish I could get in contact with Noella – such an important documentry!! Thank God shes blessed with such loving family❤️
Thank you for sharing your story…May God bless you
Big hugs to Noela and Nick…..I wish you both recovery and restoration
This is so inspiring,please someone tell me the name of the hospital where Noela went.Kamili or something,, someone please leave the name for me.
Life is hard in US. It can be even harder when your family and friends back home have set standards and expectations for you. Alot of students end up in dorms lonely and isolated from Kenyan communities that could be a support system. If you're in Kenya STOP asking your friends living or studying abroad for money, phones, laptops or other favors just STOP 🛑 not unless they offer them instead check on them regularly.Thank you.
