In Myanmar, according to the WHO, there are less than 100
psychiatrists. Some families lock up their ill families members
within their houses, because there is no medical care or they can´t
afford it. This man was locked up in Mawlamyine, Myanmar by his
brother, in his brother´s bakery shop. The family was afraid of
him because he hit him and his wife, the brother told me with
broken voice.
