FIJI, Suva: An asylum patient lies naked in his cell in the notorious Bua ward of the decrepit St Giles Psychiatric Hospital hidden in the jungle-clad hills overlooking Suva, 24 February 2004. Due to a severe funding crisis there are only four doctors left to care for over 150 patients in facilities which date back to 1884. Suicide from depression, schizophrenia and mania now surpass road deaths and drownings in Fiji due to the lack of employment opportunities, the state of the economy, and the uncertainty over land leases.

INDIA, MURHU: Mr. Praveen (35), sleeps in a cage 24 April 2005, in a cage in which he has been kept by his father for the past year in Murhu, near Ranchi in the eastern region of Jharkhand, due to his mental instability. Even though mental illnesses are common and cause great problems in every part of the world, many care and health workers have a limited understanding about mental health and are less comfortable dealing with mental illness. More often than not, people with mental illness are misunderstood, shunned and isolated by their communities. AFP PHOTO/str
