An old couple in Phu Tho Province is calling for help to treat their daughter and son who are afflicted with mental illness.
Quy's daughter tears at her clothes and hair
The daughter of Vu Xuan Quy, 62, a worker on Van Thang Farm in Phu Tho Province, was diagnosed as mentally ill in Grade 12.
But 18 years of treatment for Vu Thi Men has found neither cause nor cure.
Quy's wife and daughter
Quy's wife, Pham Thi Huy, said. "She was such a good students. Now she doesn't know anything. She tears off her clothes, blankets, her hair and eyelashes. Winter was worse, her body turned red in the cold but it's like she doesn't know cold. She is suffering, but we don't know what to do."
Quy's second child, Vu Xuan Anh, got married and has a daughter. But four years ago, he became mentally ill. Anh often sits in one place and talks to himself. But when he has a fit, he will break things and attack anyone who comes close.
Quy and his son
"Sometimes, he would have a fit at midnight and we had to run away," Quy said. "His wife brought their child to her parents' house. I don't blame her. I just hope she can visit us sometime so we can see out grandchild."
Quy has diabetes and high blood pressure while his wife has severe osteoarthritis and can't work.
