1) Yayasan Galuh Rehabilitation Center is an impoverished mental health facility based in Bekasi, Indonesia. Most come from poor families no longer interested in managing their condition, or are unable. Some patients are homeless, deposited after being taken off streets by police. The stigma of neurological disorders in countries like Indonesia prevents any formation of meaningful social pressure on their government, so there’s a clear absence of emergency. The center is teeming with undiagnosed conditions like methamphetamine psychosis, schizophrenia, impulse control disorders, dementia and autism. Due to lack of funds, the center has no occupational therapy or psychiatric medicine. Over one third of the patients are shackled in chains. These measures are implemented to those thought to be violent, uncontrollable and dangerous.
