[QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 44660, member: 636"] Kenya sees more people taking their lives each day. Families across the country lose loved ones as this problem grows worse. Communities struggle to understand what causes these deaths. The World Health Organization reports that four Kenyans die from suicide every single day. This means the country has a rate of six deaths for every 100,000 people. A 34-year-old man from Kericho became the latest victim when people found his body outside his house. He had struggled with mental health problems since he was a child. Doctors gave him medicine and monthly shots to help him feel better. He was staying with family members when he died. Three other recent cases show how serious this crisis has become. A 57-year-old man called his friend before he was found dead at his home in Embakasi. Police discovered a 31-year-old man who had been missing for two weeks at his house in Sabasaba. Officers also found a 30-year-old man hanging from a tree at a farm near Nakuru. Police officers and investigators check each scene carefully before moving the bodies to morgues. Doctors will examine each person to learn more about how they died. Assistant Chief Jackson Langat reported the Kericho case to authorities. Kenya must act fast to help people with mental health problems. The country needs better ways to support those who feel hopeless. Leaders and doctors must work together to save more lives before this crisis gets worse. [/QUOTE]
