Nabil Sameer woke up disoriented, without his shoes or glasses, in an unfamiliar facility. What he didn’t know was that his family had admitted him to a mental health institution without warning. In this raw and deeply personal episode, Nabil recounts the shock of being misdiagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, the heavy medication he was put on, and the emotional isolation that followed. From the confusion of forced hospitalization to the quiet moments of human kindness that helped him survive it, his story sheds light on the overlooked realities of Kenya’s mental health system. It’s about more than addiction or diagnosis—it’s about agency, trust, and what happens when those are taken away. Watch to hear his full journey through Chiromo, the pain of being unheard, and the resilience it took to come back. Watch, learn, and get inspired. This is not just school. This is ADMI.
