Living with mental health disability

Feb 13, 2023 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – I have a mental health disability called schizoaffective disorder.

At first, I was in denial about the condition, but over time, I have learned to live with it.

Once a month I take an injection. This is supported with daily tablets to manage my mental health.

When on medication, I can live a full life which I think I do for the most part.

My main “hobby” is clubbing (I like to dance though I am not very good at it. I have also taken up salsa and bachata dancing). I also enjoy Pub Quizzes and listening to music which I can understand the words – I like R&B and Pop music. I do listen to Indian music sometimes. I don’t like Rap as the music is too fast for me to understand the words.

I play chess and like doing a puzzles as well. And, I do some yoga.

The point in writing this letter is not to brag about myself, but to point out that in the United Kingdom I can do these things. I would like to ask what is the Government of Guyana doing to promote arts, sports and culture in Guyana, aside from the odd music/dance show which at times citizens complain are descending into vulgarity.

Is there a holistic plan to develop local arts, sport and culture in Guyana; some kind of meaningful cultural policy?

Every town and village need the arts, sports and culture outlets classes as well as entertainment centres and not just rum venues where binge drinking takes place.

Before, Guyana did not have the money. But this is not an excuse anymore.

Sincerely 
Sean Ori
