Mental health patients celebrate Carnival in Rio de Janeiro
Patients in costume from the Nise de Silveira mental health institute dance during the institute's carnival parade, called in Portuguese:"Loucura Suburbana," or Suburban Madness, in the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Thursday, February 20, 2020.
Dressed as a princess, a clown, a pharaoh, and other costumes, they were in a carnival group called Loucura Suburbana as they danced along the streets. "How many of us have mental illness and we are also 'crazy' and because of that we are here. But each human being has its own madness, for some is the family, or the children, or the work, or daily life. Let's live life!" said 34 years old Cleiton Fernandes, a patient of the institute and an accomplished dancer.
'Suburban Madness' was formed in 2001 during an art-therapy workshop at the mental institute which looks for alternative less aggressive therapies for patients with mental problems.
