Yemen's Mentally Ill Are Chained, Tranquilized & Abandoned
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2021
- Yemen has been at war for more than six years. The healthcare system has been decimated, famine looms, and millions are struggling to cope. But few observers have paid attention to the country's escalating mental health crisis that is accompanying this humanitarian catastrophe. VICE News gains exclusive access inside the few psychiatric hospitals still operating in Yemen today, finding patients both physically and chemically restrained. Such dire conditions reflect the severe lack of resources for Yemeni people, who the world seems to have turned their backs on.

Reporter: who do you blame?
Doctor: blaming myself is the only thing I can do.
That's heartbreaking.
Why do you think diamonds are so tough?
thats true strangs thats a hearo thats a thing that keeps us humans still alive
The staff are definitely traumatized as well. I worry that suicide might be an escape. The pain must be so unbarable. 😔
Social Media and Metal Health. A video i liked ruclips.net/video/d97mTNxfn-k/видео.html
@@petroe3884 It shows that their government is corrupt.
I can’t give much hate towards the doctor, he’s giving his best despite a situation he cannot control.

Ditto
You shouldn’t be able to give any hate? You see what he has in fact that mans probably the most honourable guy around.

The nurse that had to turn away the man suffering from psychosis- the way she spoke to his friend, she seemed so angry, even heartless. But as soon as the door closes behind them and they leave the hospital, she is in tears. She was never angry with them- she is frustrated to the literal brink, and it breaks her heart to turn people away, but she has no choice. That is an unimaginable stress. And that scenario likely repeats itself several times a day, every single day.
How she and the doctor at the psychiatric hospital continue to come to work every single day and try to help those they can- there is not enough gratitude in the world for them. And sadly, they will never know all the people seeing these situations see them as the selfless, deeply giving, and truly heroic people they are.
War and adversity brings out both the best and the worst in people. Thank goodness for all the best.
It reminds me so much of overloaded ERs in the West. The reactions and feelings of the nurses are so similar, although the situation is of course of a completely different gravity.
I'm not American but I've seen a lot of Americans sharing a particular quote from Mr. Rogers about the people who are heroes during bad times.
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news,” Rogers said to his television neighbors, “my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.""
Definitely true here.
I remember once I was walking down the street and some homeless drug addled man asked me money so he could buy food for him. I told him I had no money and went inside the McDonald’s and purchased a cheeseburger. When my door was ready I walked outside where he was seated at the bus stop. I saw next to him and started eating my cheeseburger. 🤗
@@baverfjant Thank you for this - I grew up in America and watched Mr. Rogers, but I’d never heard this before. Thank you again!
@@hakimbandaru1915 wtf
“I love my patients” what a sweet man, he’s doing the best he can for the resources he has - and you can tell he meant what he aaid
This doctor needs a Nobel prize. Imagine the suffering he sees every day. He is doing the best with no real support. Praying for you Doctor and for your many patients, your country and that the war stops.
He probably loves the suffering. You do know he's a human right?
@@louisbirdsongjr8069 don’t project what you like unto others, just because you may have a certain mental variation or problems doesn’t mean every human also likes human suffering. Be well and I truly hope you don’t hurt anyone or yourself.

@@user-ot2nh8qb7d Right! always. It's annoying I swear.
Check out Denis mukwege who got the prize in 2018; he's also seen suffering
It’s hard to fathom, that if we weren’t born where we were, this could be our situation. I’m so sorry for people who suffer with so little help.
Yes I couldn't agree more
yes, it's this realization that stops people from being cruel, when they hear about refugees fleeing these situations. there's no go back and fight in your country when you imagine yourself in their situation and how no amount of fighting would save you
yeah its insane. im half yemeni but my parents migrated to a richer country so this hits home honestly. I have an anxiety disorder and I am so privileged to have access to amazing mental health facilities
“There by the grace of God go I”
Hopefully your full of science sauce or the left will want you in the gulag
A noble doctor and nurse, and a suffering mom. All of them put in a very difficult place where options are not even available. Heartbreaking.
I'm in a UK mental health ward rn and I've never felt so blessed to be here as I have after watching this heartbreaking video. Praying for all those who need help and relief 🙏.
The doctor is a selfless man, we won't even last a day in his shoes. So honourable..
Who's "we"?
@@MargaritaMagdalena Virtually anyone. I doubt most people will be able to do what that doctor does
Most doctors are selfless..
All their youth into studying and volunteering. Than more training. Barely any hollidays, and always being called back to the hospital, dealing with multiple patients.
Covid was an eye opener. Especially warfare triage in a public hospital..
The doctors who left.. I can't blame them either. They must've left for their family. But I wonder how they feel knowing they willingly left a place in need.
@@winter7091 Except for surgeons. They're in the top 10 professions with the most psychopaths.
@@MargaritaMagdalena i mean.. that makes sense right.. i dont think there psychopaths, just De-sensitized.
Normal people would not be able to cut someone open Or deal with the stress of that person dying. Any small mistake can kill that person. Its a high intensity, high stress, job. They have to stand and be concentrated for hours.
Vice has opened my eyes and educated me about the unheard voices and unseen people of the other parts of the world.
Yes, me too!!!
Word
@Cian MacGana shut up...
@Cian MacGana chaining up the mentally ill that’s so wrong let them roam the streets like USA does
@Cian MacGana i agree but also in San Francisco
I can really feel his sincerity. I hope this man is having some rest too 'cause what he's been doing is physically and mentally exhausting. Truly shows he cares for these people who are in need.
My heart goes out to that mother who had to chain her son up. I can’t imagine how wretched their situation must be, day in and day out. I hope they’re able to get him some medicine or treatment.
Mine too. She is protecting him from himself, from hurting her family, and from the abuse and stigma he might face from his own neighbors. She does not have any other choice. I am sure she and his entire family are heartbroken. I cannot imagine living every day through 6 years of war, with no end in sight.
How can I complain about anything after watching this, and seeing what the rest of the world‘s reality looks like?
He seems like he is on the autism spectrum, and likely has several comorbid psychiatric conditions.
The doctor was right. He's undoubtedly seen and heard of some horrible things done to families by traumatised fathers, brothers and sons, with his overwhelming work load and lack of staff, the best thing he can hope to do is just keep them sedated and inside the facility.
It sucks but, that's just the reality of the situation.
🌍😟
Yes but he or she is being scapegoated to be blamed. It is not their fault that they are mentally ill, so it would be unfair to lock them up because of their mental disabilities.
Belgium is one of five countries that allow doctors to kill patients at their request, and one of two, along with the Netherlands, that grant the procedure for people with severe *mental illness* such as *severe chronic depression* . The idea is that those with a psychiatric illness should be afforded the same rights as those suffering from a physical one.
Also Recently Australian euthanasia activist Philip Nitschke and Dutch designer Alexander Bannink created a suicide pod. Called the “Sarco”, short for sarcophagus, the 3D-printed machine comes with a detachable coffin, mounted on a stand that contains a nitrogen canister. ~
~
“The person who wants to die presses the button and the capsule is filled with nitrogen. He or she will feel a bit dizzy but will then rapidly lose consciousness and die fast and painlessly,” said Nitschke, who has been dubbed “Dr Death” for his work to legalise euthanasia. ~
~
The “Sarco” is a device “to provide people with a death when they wish to die,” Nitschke said.~
~
“This is a situation where one person chooses to press a button … rather than for instance standing in front of a train.”
“I believe it’s a fundamental human right (to choose when to die). It’s not just some medical privilege for the very sick. If you’ve got the precious gift of life, you should be able to give that gift away at the time of your choosing,” Nitschke said.
@@JD-jz5rr I believe that i also believe when a hospital has to shut down. The aggressive mentally ill patients secretly get disposed of. Same thing happens to random refugees that end up somewhere so the government has to build a camp for them till they can figure out where to integrate them and especially which ones they deem safe and not crazy. They slowly take small groups away so know one notices and just gun them down. Are world can be very barbaric. Back to killing the insane, even if you had the legal right to slaughter all the mentally ill in the world, it wouldn't do anything cause one thing I learned is we all lye somewhere along the broad spectrum of mental illness. Even though scientists are beginning to understand more of the brain. They still don't know how to properly treat it and the strange thing is only a true ill person can understand another ill person. They say some of the best psychiatrist are real paranoid schizophrenic psychopaths themselves.
I have sympathy for the mother with the abusive son. I imagine it must've been many long, trying years before she came to the conclusion that chaining him up was the only way to deal with him, especially in a country that offers next to no mental health services.
probably better like that than calling the police on him and thrown in and out of jail for the rest of his life like it is done in other countries without mental health care
Its like he is a werewolf
@@mansashaka Similar to owning an aggressive dog, whom cannot be trusted around others. But you still love them and care for them with all your heart! My childhood dog was the same way. Had to be put away when company came to visit. He interpreted any stranger as a threat.
@سعد عابدين Wow, what are they doing to your country? I am American, so I am in the dark to what is going on over there.
@سعد عابدين i wish the best of luck to you in your country
These always need to be so much longer, VICE does a really great job telling a story and I always get surprised that it ends so fast. I hope Yemen can see some positivity soon.
Thank you, Vice. And, God bless this Dr. for caring for these patients. I pray for their care.
That vet at the beginning was suffering with PTSD....as a Marine it kills me to see that happen to a vet.
get vets off dirty big pharma!
he has the eyes of a man who has lost all humanity, but I'm sure somewhere inside, there still is a part left of him. Hardest part is knowing that he has no way of finding it and getting himself back. He will continue being the shell of the man who once was. Just look at his eyes and you can see the guilt and regret for the things he was forced to do. May he find peace, in life or death. I really hope he finds it.
WW1 Vets got the worst treatment after the war. Imagine being in a trench for 4 years and coming home and no one giving you a praise.
You are right as someone who suffered ptsd and now a nurse I see ptsd in him beyond saddening he could with help and right medication live a good life

Praying and sending love to those who are suffering due to mental illness whether it is because they suffer from one or because someone they care about has it. Also, my hearts goes to the doctor and nurse who take care of the patients and have to deal with that hard reality.
This is so so sad. I hope that people can come together and help!
Isobel is a great reporter. Listens to the people she’s talking to, cares about them, and asks the right questions without being overbearing
Topic really dark -> send Isobel. I hope she'll be getting lighter assignments in the future
Too many sssssssss in her words.
She is the wrong reporter for this assignment. Too emotional. The doctor, the family with the mentally ill son, they chain up, are doing the best they can under these circumstances.
And all that and she's gorgeous
@@emcee1337 not really, he’s be heavily medicated and in care for the rest of his life. That isn’t an “evil” look, that is the look of not knowing what is going on or what is real. I fully commend the mother for doing everything she can for her son, he could hurt others or someone could kill him in retaliation.
Never underestimate what trauma will do to a person. Mad love to everyone in Yemen. The doctors, the nurses, the adults & the children. I hate governments, all governments, for the horrors they inflict onto people.
We should all govern ourselves.🤗
You hate all governments for inflicting horror onto their people? What horrors have the governments of, say, Finland and Iceland inflicted onto their citizens?

I feel horrible that the doctor is trying his best and isn’t given the proper resources to treat people with these illnesses. He truly loves what he does and the people he tries to treat as many people as possible
Thank you Vice and the beautiiful reporter! I wish its longer but very grateful to acknowledge this.
The doctor shouldn’t blame himself for the patients not being able to get what they need, it’s whoever started the wars fault n the people that continue to fight are also to blame.
So blame the Western Countries.

@Amir Babs thanks for explaining.
@Amir Babs clarify, cause i have no knowledge of politics lol
@yourmomuglysi to a elaborate a little during the WWII, France and England had signed a treaty with princes of the middle east to fight off the ottoman however in all of that westerners we're finding ways to make Israel a state in the middle east. Once this occured the princes of the middle east felt betrayed n that where the problems begin along with the oil control and the American CIA involvement in the late 80$ early 90s.
*Good looks @amirbabs
Isn't it crazy to think that there is many, many rich people on this planet who could singlehandedly help an entire country if they wanted to? They applied for 100 million. Jeff Bezos is estimated to be sitting at more than 200 billion.
Jeff makes double that in one day
@MiGueL Gonzalez I don't know what your saying, but these people are still living on the planet, just hungry and ill because of no help. They aren't dead. I think it's a crime that a few trillionares hoarde enough money to help most if not all the world, but they just don't. And as far as keeping the population down, what is the difference if whatever population there is, is determined to pollute and destroy the environment and make the planet uninhabitable.
It's not as easy as dumping money into an area in hopes of solving the problem the issues in Yemen are very complex.
Their is a war inside U.S streets without the tanks and rocket launchers yet theyre closing hospitals, schools and mental institutions (mostly in low income neighborhoods) and these billionaires don't help their own why would they help Yemen?
The more money you have the more you want. Only earth can fix this by swallowing all humanity, everyone is equal underground
Yea but why would he involve himself in a ongoing war that caused all of that?
The fact that he comes there everyday to do his job and feels it is his duty, I deeply respect that
This Doctor is a good man for staying when so many have fled the country and the woman deserves a medal for staying to.
this doctor...he is very eloquent! He obviously cares so much about the patients and he is doing the best he can.....so so stressful. these health workers are saints. most of us would never be able to walk in his shoes.

My thoughts and prayers to all my brothers and sisters there.
God bless that doctor. He was speaking the truth, instead of trying to misrepresent or somehow embelish the reality of his situation, he spoke the bare truth unflinchingly.
This is beyond traumatizing. The mother and the doctor are doing what they can. You and I would lose our minds in a situation like that. This makes me realize that our problems are absolutely nothing compared to this. I wish I could do something for them.
May God have mercy on all of us.

Damn I feel really bad for the Doctor, he wants to do better but he legitimately can't.
As a yemeni, I've been suffering to find a decent mental health care center in yemen. But i didn't find any.
The main reason for this is lack of mental knowledge and its importance next to the culturalimpact. People here feel ashamed to admit that they have any mental illness which led to lack of funding and skilled doctors.

I deal with a lot of mental illness and trauma disorders- I came here horrified but it’s really not their fault. You can only do your best with what you have and you can’t have what isn’t there. It breaks my heart for the staff and the people who really desperately need that little available help.
It’s bad enough here in the U.K. this is horrific truly but I wouldn’t blame the doctor. He clearly cares a lot.
Same here, I thought our healthcare system was down the pan but this shows me how blessed we really are in a lot of ways. I wish you peace, health and safety going forward, dealing with trauma is very difficult but I hope you can get to a better place in time ❤ 🙏
As a severely mentally ill person I forget how lucky I am to have been born in the USA. It hurts more than I explain to see mentally ill or traumatized people left untreated, neglected, or harmed.
I dont know how they do it. I could not get used to that type of daily suffering and I honestly would work to end my life if in their shoes

Dam it happens even here in Australia, not the chains but my eldest son it took 13 years to get help if I could of legally restrained him he wouldn’t have been more traumatised by the abuse of care workers and police because I couldn’t keep him and his family safe 24/7 !
Autism adhd and epilepsy is not a good mix ! Even harder with no or late diagnosis.

props to these families doing something about the severity of the situation instead of just ignoring it.
Im a retired US Soldier and I suffer from severe PTSD, as watching this video, it hurts my heart when I see the subtext and picture of these men saying they can't get over what they have seen and now they are chained together and being tranquilized. This is no why to treat a human being, but our US government does the same to us to this day. They didn't put chains on us but when I came back from Afghanistan, they had me so loaded up on nerve pill, it would knock me out, I didnt remember the 6 months I was in the hospital. I hope everything gets better in Yeman and all countries that has Soldiers dealing with PTSD, its a horrible mental issue

There are many clues in the video, the doctor getting angry and defensive when asked about conditions for the patients is only one of them.
Where do these guys get their funding? There's no government and the families of the inmates can't afford to feed their own kids. Are they getting paid by the same militias that are recommending these men get locked up?
The inmate's speech was guarded and they were quite calm and gave the most basic facts about themselves in spite allegedly being crazy and tied up. This likely means they get in trouble for complaining.
Also, they tied all these guys up because escapes are both their biggest problem and biggest concern.
And finally, the people running the show are NOT qualified healthcare professionals.
All this together and it seems this asylum is largely fraudulent. It's a prison for hire taking inmates from anyone who will pay.

This is really heart-breaking. Even in the most developed countries, peaceful times, and with far more resources, mental health treatment is often still insufficient. I can't imagine how difficult it must be struggling with the same conditions in a country torn apart by war, with no real resources to devote to helping you. I hope these people find peace, and that those treating them find some comfort and recognition in the work they're doing.

I understand the illness suffered from the patients in this video. They have gone through life and death situations everyday. Its truly understandable.
I dont understand those who claim they have mental health issues because of "work stress" and mundane life cycle and then, announcing on social media that theyre gonna commit suicide. Thats attention seeking and the only medicine for them is beatings to put some sense in their soft snowflake asses.

The doctor, the nurse and the mother are all genuine people when giving a response to a question about getting mental help… I honestly felt her answer before she even said it… I’m devastated and heartbroken the Yemeni people are suffering needlessly from the constant day in and day out of war… Everyone with little money and help suffer more when the richest people are out there causing chaos just for their enjoyment… No more wars… let there be peace… and my the doctor, the nurse and the mother as the rest sleep well and peacefully at night
God bless those who put their lives on the line for others.
Those empathetic people in societies always stick out, in any nation they’re found in. Genuine lights in a dark world and blessings to humanity
It’s all because these never ending stupid senseless wars. Hopefully future generations can solve issues without the endless bickering and war.
Wars will never end as long as humanity is on this planet sadly.
@@kaym7704 i don't believe that and i don't think you do either. all it takes is for people to create a more powerful weapon. after the invention of the nuke, we had almost 80 years of peace. people only respond to the stick or carrot and with that logic wars will stop existing in the near future if people create a terrifying weapon. not to say there won't be small skirmishes or insurgencies but no massive scale wars.
@@ibrahimhassan711 we have that weapon already, the atomic bomb, it's a weapon of peace, nations who own that weapon do not fight wars against each other any longer, they learnt to live with what they have since the risk of losing what they have outweighed the risk of what they could win in such a nuclear war.
Unfortunately, those who have the weapon of peace are against everyone having it because then they lose the biggest market in the world, the weapon market which thrives from non-nuclear wars.
...so for as long as there exists Greed in mankind, wars will always be present and from today's point of view...wars will never end, sadly.
Don’t only call senseless wars say it how it is . We see an aggressors with bombs from different country and a victim within their own territory. Am not yemeni but that is how I see it. So who is to blame?
It’s not senseless for the LEGITIMATE Yemeni government to take responsibility and do its JOB by protecting Yemenis from foreign influenced GANG attempting to take power in Yemen by force! TRUE Yemenis see what’s happening in Lebanon with iran supporting hezbolla and we Yemenis don’t want that garbage in our country with iran supporting the houthis leading to yet another failed state in the Middle East!
houthis had a chance to be a part of the flourishing democratic process that was born post dictator saleh’s departure but chose to take power in Yemen by force via iranian support now they will either eat dirt or go live in their host country iran as houthis WILL NEVER BE ACCEPTED BY YEMENIS!!!!!!!!!
Yemen for Yemenis
Saudi Arabia for Saudis
iran for iranians and their puppets the houthis
1:00 imagine carrying a dead lifeless child out of ruins, you can tell the children are either dead or extremely close, they can’t even hold their head up. Heartbreaking, I feel so so sorry for them and their family.
If only this doctor could see that, because of this exposure, he DOES have so much support from the outside world, even if only from individuals on their couches. I just wish we could all somehow like, sign a card or something to send to him, so he has a tangible piece of human support for the particularly difficult and heavy position he is in. ❤ feeling for everyone featured in the video
This report has brought me to tears. Yemen has been forgotten in the Western world and it's most vulnerable are stuck being treated like cattle. The war needs to stop. Countries need to unite and help build and protect hospitals!
Why should the west care about a bunch of muslims trying to wipe each other out ?
The West needs to let the others figure it out on their own. They do not like us most of the time and have very (sometimes well placed I'll admit ) hate towards the West.
I feel bad for the mom having to chain her son. I'm sure that was a painful thing to do for her.
Feel bad for the son also. It saddens me that he might end up chained permanently. Very very sad.
4:34 this man is devoted to helping his patients 🥺
الله يفرج كربكم وكربنا ويوحد صفوف المسلمين كي ينتهي الألم
It's so sad that war can cause such impact to the lives of people.
I salute the doctor.
I salute the nurse.
I understand the mother who chained his son.
i feel for the mother, what a horrible question to ask her "some people would say how could a mother chain her son" how dumb of a question to make her feel horrible to choose to protect her self and her family. i know what its like to live with an untreated schizophrenic man, and its the most traumatizing thing, mentally and physically destroying to the people living with him. the fact that this mother chose to chain her son in their home rather than kill him and abandoned him; speaks volumes of her love for him even after everything he's done to her! i wish i could give them all the money they need to get treatment but all i can offer is my prayers for now. may Allah protect the families and the mentally ill and soon provide them with the relief they need.
Thank you for the truth
I stop to watch because I'm crying. This Woman is very nice and courageous...I am myself mentally ill.
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
Not many people care about lives in Yemen
such a sad world and double standards we live in
the reality of the matter in a global village is what does your village/country do for us? that's what matters when asking for help
I came back to read 'Animal Farm' once again this week. This quote fits perfectly in that case scenario. Salute for the contribuition my friend.
Even worst for Americans,
@@JJ-iy7rk haha no and I'm american and black.
@@gunnerwright7793 Wealthier nations cannot be expected to foot the bills for all these developing nations. We have our own citizens in need, our homeless, our hurting.
The doctor is amazing, giving service beyond his own problems ,you truly be respected you truly care not only for the patients but also for the families of the patients, I hope the war will end.
if u r going through something just remember how blessed u r
this is heartbreaking
This doctor, these journalists are heroes. I had tears in my eyes writing this. We need to help them. Can’t we help them?
yes you can
People suffer while most live a good life. I pray for the ones suffering and thank God for what blessing I have now. Amen.
Most?
I think about Yemen so much 🙏🏽 Praying for peace and the end of a selfish war
God help those people in such dire need of peace. The man and woman in charge of the hospital patients, the mother whose son is in need of help with his mental illness. Their situation is the saddest thing I have ever encountered. God help and protect them, and inspire those who make war to start to make peace so damaged people can be helped.
This really opened my eyes about trauma 😢Thank you Vice!!! 🙏🏻
this doctor has some type of passion about his job... can def feel it ... he is doing what he can with what he was given ... bless this whole situation for all involved
So heartbreaking... 😭😭😭😭
This doctor is a hero. At least he is trying. At least he is still there. He is doing what he can.
Another amazing piece of media.
Isobel's the guarantee
Isobel's the GOAT.
The world might have stopped caring about Yemen but I have not. My heart goes out to all the people in yemen who are struggling.
Your not alone. I’m strongly thinking of moving there.
@@interestingg where do you live now??
@@darrencole7379 UK and you?
@@interestingg why would you put your life in struggle and danger?
@@inamdarsaquib9528 I’m happy to give up my luxury life here to help the orphans in Yemen. Just waiting for the right time to move there.
i have many mental illnesses and i went undiagnosed for fifteen years after constant suffering. i broke down crying because i know how they feel - but only by a fraction. i cant imagine without breaking down. i cant.
Blaming myself he said....what a legend...respect just respect to u Doc
