Salah Jahine “famous poem” was one, and he was suspected to be commit suicide for this , and I suspected myself to be one too , but al hamd lelah the doctors told me it is only depression , no they don’t accept them , our society don’t even respect the psychiatrists and call them mad doctors , that is why I decided to be one.

Yes the paranoid people who claim to be prophets and Saints in our society , they made fun of them in movies and arrest them and imprison them as kaffirs and infidels , they don’t know that those are helpless patients who lost their minds and need care.
