PD is proved to be due to degeneration  of dopamine in brain. There are many theories which describe why their is shortage of dopamine in the brain. Mechanism is known for almost 5 decades one, but still there is not treatment yet. Quality of life is significantly improved though, desirable outcome of  complete cure is still beyond reach.. Is mechanism obscure, or treatment is weird?
 There are suggestions like Better you engage brain, slower degeneration of dopamine. Exercise like Tai chi, yoga and stretching exercises are advised.

Just today morning, I read NT times article’ psychiatric paietns, no way to go but jail”. Chicago’s  of closing down few mental health clinic would affect the mental health care provided to jail population as well as component of general population suffering from mental health illnesses. It would cause changes in behavior which in turn would foster criminal activities. More psychiatric patients will land up in jail, and number of prisoners trapping in mental health illnesses would increase. Vicious cycle! If we think of humane side of the issue, isn’t it cruel treating  psychiatric patients like criminal? 

Stigma is a major impediment to the mental health care in Ghana.When a patient suffering from mental illness is rejected by families, government should embrace patients with open heart, not by words alone but with deeds.in Ghana, for the population of 24 million, there are only 12 psychiatrists. It is estimated that around  ten percent population of Ghana suffers from mental health illness of sonme kind. To cater to their need, Government should spend seven percent of health care expenses on the mental health care.  Mental health billis already in pipeline, and if passed, it could bring smiles on many mental health patients. Even bill is passed, enforcement would remain a  big worry.
