The focus on mental health has not waned, especially as persistent reports of crime and violence continues to heighten the fears of Jamaicans. But those responsible for keeping citizens abreast of most, if not all the happenings in and outside the country, are being reminded to protect their sanity.

Dr. Semaj asserts that taking a day or two is absolutely necessary in protecting one’s sanity.
