VOICED : Afghan shrine offers shock

The video explores a shrine in Afghanistan dedicated to Mirali Saheeb, which also serves as a treatment center for the mentally ill. Patients are subjected to a 40-day regimen involving chaining, a restricted diet, and spiritual practices. The methods, rooted in historical practices, are controversial and lack scientific backing. A case study of a former soldier, Mohammed, highlights the harshness of the treatment. Despite criticism, the shrine remains a refuge due to limited mental health resources in the war-torn country.
