    Part 2 of the Mental Health Special with Dr. Linda Nyamute (Psychiatrist) on Daktari A Quick One

    In the second part of this enlightening mental health episode, Dr. Nyadimu sits down with Dr. Linda Nyamute, a board-certified psychiatrist and nominee for Mental Health Advocate of the Year at the Top Daktari Awards. Together, they explore some of the most misunderstood mental health conditions including depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, schizophrenia, and drug-induced psychosis.

    A major focus of the conversation is marijuana use in Kenya—its different types, its rising popularity, and the often-overlooked risks linked to cannabis-induced psychosis.

    The episode also dives into the crucial role of psychological counseling in recovery. Dr. Nyamute highlights the dangers of the growing number of unqualified counselors, clearly distinguishing them from properly trained clinical psychologists and emphasizing why professional standards matter for patient outcomes.

    We further unpack the realities inside alcohol and substance rehabilitation centers, examining why relapse rates remain high despite institutionalization—and what more sustainable models of recovery should look like.

    Finally, Dr. Nyamute shares honest reflections on patient perceptions of young female doctors, offering insight into the gendered and generational challenges many women in medicine continue to face.

    This episode is packed with real experiences, myth-busting, and practical mental health knowledge for both professionals and the general public.#DaktariAQuickOne​
