Additional Information / Shotlist (subtitles)
My name is Asunta Nyibol Deng.

In 2022, when the conflict broke out in Agok, I lost everything. My house, all my belongings. Life was so difficult that I started to isolate myself. I couldn't do anything, I got into arguments with my friends and family members, I was angry and aggressive all the time. At one point, I wanted to kill myself by climbing a tree and throwing myself down.

When I visited an MSF facility, I was able to talk to a counselor who explained my condition and taught me how to manage my anger and my stress. I'm getting better, I can do household chores and I'm socializing with my friends. I'm even attending wedding ceremonies which I didn't do before.

I am so happy from the bottom of my heart and I sincerely thank MSF for the support. I hope MSF will continue to help me and other patients.
