Many mental illnesses are not real, especially stuff like ADHD. They just use it as an excuse to force kids to behave unnaturally (sitting down for long hours).

While clear mental illnesses like transsexuals aren't recognized.

Why is mental health issues so taboo in somali community?? Every time i discuss my mental health issues with somalis first thing they say is its kibir

Mental health issues are taboo in our culture for a few reasons:

-It's not something that Somalis were able to explain in the past so due to our religious and conservative mindset families would blame it on djinn/curses from God and speak to sheiks etc.

-It's seen as shameful....period. There isn't a deeper explanation because that's just how it is. We didn't develop our culture the way western countries have and these issues are left out.

What's up though? Are you a believer or nah?

What exactly is your illness? I agree Somalis don’t take mental illness serious and would suggest Quran saar 90% of the time.
