Did you listen to Wana and Pdoc. yesterday night on 92.3 IFM?

 

So PDoc. was on les radio last night with Wana Wana on 92.3 Ifm!!!! (I’m learning French so excusez moi)  

They broke down the issues surrounding mental health and faith in the wake of the recent sad passing away of Rick Warren’s son.

The interview was largely prompted based on some very rude comments people made when the sad incident happened ..”the boy is going to hell” , “so he is a pastor and he couldn’t heal his son”, How can a pastor’s son be possessed with mental illness” bla bla bla …..very hurtful comments made out of obvious ignorance.

Wana and PDoc. dealt with the issues and PDoc. tried his best to strike the balance.

Mental illness is real just like physical illnesses such as malaria, infections, cancer etc. and even though God heals, physicians  still have to treat sometimes Isaiah 38:21, also if someone dies from physical illness , that is not an automatic ticket to hell fire, same with someone who commits suicide due to mental health issues….they didn’t know what they were doing…at least that was one of the things I picked from the conversation…. so I think it helped, I hope it helped. Thank you Wana Wana..or as some die hard fans say...Wana Pinzie and Pansie and all other hailings..Lol!

So looking for a psychiatrist in Lagos? You can reach Dr. Otefe Edebi . for more psych consult or information on +234 802 999 8091. He also consults at Avon medical Services No. 8 Adedamola Ojomo close, Off Bode Thomas Surulere on Tuesdays and Fridays from 3-5 PM  then at The Hosanna Healthcare  4^th Avenue by 42 road junction, Festac town Lagos on Mondays and Thursdays 3-5PM and you can Skype with him on Gracehill.Mconsult. Email address is doctoredebi@gmail.com.

 So if  you know someone who needs help but they or their relatives are too shy to visit Yaba or Aro and they are  afraid of the stigma, then the person can walk into any of these private hospitals for information and psychiatric consultation.

It is well with us and our families in Jesus name. Amen

By the way….PDoc. Stands for “Pastor Doctor” (in this case Psychiatrist & Psychologist) and he is also my husband who has passion for demystifying mental illness and helping its sufferers lead normal lives free of sickness and free of stigma.
