August 21, (THEWILL) – Big Brother Naija housemate, Maria, says her brother is suffering from schizophrenia and the family has been in trauma since his diagnosis.
Maria disclosed this during her diary session with Big Brother on Friday.
Biggie had asked what she thinks of the day’s task on mental health and she stated that the mental health awareness campaign hits home since it brought back memories of her brother who was diagnosed years ago.
She stated that her brother’s illness has been hard for her family since he was diagnosed with the sickness.
She said: “A couple of years ago my brother was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. It’s been hard on the family because it can never be cured.
“He is on medication and constant watch in the hospital. He was a perfect human on everything he did and then he got diagnosed. Not all of us have been the same in the family since then.”
