Digestive cramps, sleep disorders, heart rhythm disorders, says Dr. Mrad. He said that “the events of 14 January distributed Tunisians in three well-defined groups: there are those who have opted for a psychological attitude of struggle, and therefore confrontation of the situation. Those who have opted for a psychological leak attitude which reflects a denial of self-protection. And finally those who have succumbed to burnout. ”

People living in increasingly precarious and a State which is mismanaging its 25% poor and its 1.5 million illiterates. The state fails to give hope. It carries the legacy of the past but also a failing government who bears the responsibility for our future.
The Tunisian People revolted against hunger, injustice, regional imbalance, unemployment … Today it is at the heart of debates that concern the few and the election issues that blur at a time where he has only one concern in mind: to find work, feed their children and live in peace with dignity.
The situation is obviously not new. In 2005, One Tunisian out of two suffered from mental disorders. A survey conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and ignored, revealed that 37% of cases had depression and anxiety problems. Finding a political failure for the old regime of Ben Ali.
Tunisia has 212 psychiatric hospitals for 10 million people.
