Are they prescribing psychotropic drugs to the people like they do in the West?

Yes, unfortunately. I do write about this on my blog mentalhealthcongo.com. Please check it out when you can. Mental health issues are very difficult to diagnose and many so-called experts only provide psychotic drugs instead of treating the patients. A lot of experts in the Congo are also not trained and don't know how to handle some cases. This adds to the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment.
