Public Mental Health and Governance in Uganda

We yearn to survive, to feel secure, to find pleasure, and overcome pain from the day of coming into existence. There are specific needs to achieve those goals, such as food, water, medicine, social and professional support, renewable environment resources, and their continuous and anticipated access. Because they are survival, security, social, pleasure needs, we realize the right to access them and the responsibility and duty to work towards their realization. When these rights are not achieved at the moments they are most needed, the individual will be overwhelmed to levels when he or she cannot cope, which subsequently disrupts rational clues of achieving them or even any such hope, belief, and abilities to do so. Without interventions to address rising vulnerability of the individual, the cognitive, emotional, physical, social, spiritual and environmental connections are impaired yet are the ones responsible for his or her existence and achievement of the greatest of that person’s goals. There are specific references given to cases of mental illness that develop –one after the other –leading to total mental breakdown. Each of these cases ought to be addressed in singularity in new environments that accelerate healing, until the point the individual relearns the old environment and develops healthy coping mechanism to live and attain development goals there. This organization suggests th creation of a mental health infrastructure that creates contact with vulnerable groups and boosts their recovery while building their strength of coping and resilience to overcome their obstacles to expressing and obtaining their needs and rights. The infrastructure will be able to spot their unmet needs in some development time and process better the unhealthy mental attachments and images, provide natural means of negotiating access to natural needs and rights, enable such accesses to individuals who show natural effort and negotiation mechanism around challenges to expressing and realizing their needs and rights while using successful individuals to inspire others, until we achieve levels when the individuals can fix own challenges, express desires in most healthy way possible, seek assistance where they are trapped, and become responsible to themselves and society to achieve their aspirations. In doing so, the infrastructure will enable realization of people who are empowered and mentally well –sustainably.
