“Mental illness doesn’t discriminate,” Neme added. “It doesn’t matter your religion, your origins, your skin, your ethnicity, it doesn’t matter, it can come to anybody.” “Las enfermedades mentales no discriminan”, añadió Name. “No importa tu religión, tus orígenes, tu piel, tu etnia, no importa, puede afectar a cualquiera”.
