Oct 10 is the Word Mental Health Day.
In developing countries like India, people with mental illness (especially in some rural and remote areas) are often confined to small rooms within the house and in some cases are even tied up.
Awareness about these stigmas is the only solution to eradicate such stigmas prevailing all over the world.
Not in rural and remote are in hospital hospital and mental asylum peoples with mental illness tied up with chains. It is because they can hurt themself and others. Depression, sleeplessness, tension are common mental problems. The best solution of it is good social life. We must be spare some time for our family and society.

yes this type of practice is in fashion in rural area. Some time relative and family members also chained mental ill because they have not money for treatment.
The line between normal and abnormal is very thin, We normally associate certain behaviors with mental abnormality probably going by what is shown in films .But the most dangerous trait like Schizophrenia can be found even in very normal looking people, it comes out only when their stress levels are tested to the highest levels ..

Now this trend is showing up in urban areas too I have seen how old parents are being ill treated either by their sons or by the daughters in laws and driving them almost to the stage of madness. These old parents silently suffering the torture.
